I have a very nice sexual relationship with my girlfriend. Our sex is at times spectacular, but sometimes she allows my dog to distract her. The situation came to a head last weekend when my lady was on top riding me and darned near came out of her skin when Spike goosed her in her rear end with his cold nose. She freaked out while holding my hair down, darn near pulling some of my hair out. Problem is if I don't let Spike in the room he scratches the door, whines, and barks until I let him in. Usually there is no problem but recently Spike has wanted to jump on the bed as we are going at it. Now an ultimatum has been given and Ihave to consider getting rid of my dog if I want to continue the relationship. What am I to do?

gotta a problem with my girlfriend and my dog
You have a poorly managed (spoiled) dog. If you are not, in his eyes, pack leader, he will do as he pleases and continue to be a pain in the ass. Both you and he need to take a training course - preferably together so he learns to obey you.
Dogs are by nature pack-animals with a single leader. Either you're the leader or he is. You cannot be a 'buddy' to a dog because they don't undertand that.
As for ultimatums - anyone issuing them is NOT the person for you.
Enroll in a dog training class. Check your local Parks and Rec. department, pet store, or vet for information.
EEK is spot on with her information. You might also go on the web and search for information on these two dog trainers: Cesar Millan and Cesar's Way plus Uncle Matty for training information and products.
There is no reason your dog has to be so needy or obnoxious, he does need some guidance in this matter for both your sakes.
Ultimatums are not good and seldom work. Enlist your girlfriend's help with the search and training.
Even cats can be trained to give you privacy.
I once had a friend with benefits who has several cats.
They used to interrupt us while eating or watching TV, but whenever we had sex - no matter where - they would leave us alone.
I'm sure you can train your dog and I hope that your gf is not really the ultimatum-giving type, but simply desperate to get you to do something about it.
