Can you hear your neighbors having sex?
Quote:
Skogafoss isn't very loud, not in person, not when we're out, and definitely not in the bedroom. She's very much concerned about the noises she makes and that's not limited to sex. I'm the same way. I don't think we've ever been very loud. One time when I was a teen, my parents were downstairs and my g/f and I were in my bedroom above them. My father came upstairs to find out what all the ruckus was. He didn't barge in on us at all.

Yes, I can. I've never complained about it - I wouldn't know how to broach the subject even if it bothered me...
It kind of bothers me that our next-door neighbor has found it a turn-on, but that's none of my business, either.

I did at our old apartment, but not here. I have a house and I can't hear shit outside.

When I lived in my apartment I could hear the woman who lived upstairs crying out as her husband railed her. It was always at like 6 am. Way too fucking early.

It happened every night back in college. After a certain point, we didn't even apologize to each other, just high-fives. Now? Only occasionally. A newlywed couple moved in a few months back and every once in a while I guess you can kind of hear something.
Fortunately, my bedroom is pretty well insulated and keeps noise in. I LOVE screamers. |

Yes. I had a fortunate encounter with an asian girl a few times. She was noisy and she seemed to enjoy that as much as I did.

I remember laying in bed in an apartment in Boston, early summer, windows open. I counted three different couples before I had to wake up my boyfriend to join in. Sort of like one of those yawn chain reactions. LOL! I've had a few hotel sessions that I *know* people heard. Mostly they just turned up the TV. I also dated this one guy who made the most amazing noises when he came. It was fabulous, but I wouldn't have wanted to be his upstairs neighbor.

I do. If the newlyweds and I lived in an apartment building, things would undoubtedly be a lot louder. As it is now, we overall enjoy a good amount of privacy. I can only remember one occasion where I heard something, about two weeks ago.

The people in the apartment above me have a really creaky bed so I hear quite a bit of vigorous action for about 2 minutes at a time. If they didn't have such a loud bed I would never hear it. It's annoying but tolerable since the guy never lasts very long.

I'm lucky on this score. Although I live in a terraced street, my neighbours on one side have their bedroom in the loft conversion, and on the other side have it in the room I use as a living room (ground floor), so no risk of embarrassing each other at all.

I have experienced it in the past but currently, no. The construction codes here dictate that everything is made of bricks and concrete. The only noises that come through are dragged furniture or dropped marbles.

had roomates who were loud at 1am every night when her BF got off work. the rest of the apartment complex thought it was ME and my GF because all windows were usually open in SoCal to let cool air in. Old people gave my dirty looks when I walked by but in reality it was my petite anime-girl looking filipino roomate who only got smiles and waves from the older folks as she passed by.

OMG, I have had so many of these neighbors.... Mostly they were kind of hot, and I don't mind admitting that they often provoked me to "join in," whether I had a girl with me or not.
Sometimes not so much, though. I did have one neighbor who, God help me, I swear was having loud sex with her dog (no boyfriend, just her voice moaning, and saying "Faster, boy! Good boy, faster!" and the sound of dog whining and claws scrabbling on hardwood flooring...you do the math). Yikes. And on the more amusing side of the spectrum, I also had one set of neighbors I used to hear all the time, and each time sounded the same: Mixed voices: *panting and moaning* Her: Oh, God, yes, fuck me faster! Him: Oh, God, yes, I'm gonna come! Her: No, I'm so close! Him: I don't want to come yet! No! Aaargh (sounds of him coming)!

Back in University we had neighbours in our backyard that were quite loud. One time we recorded them and then played them back to themselves full volume.
Never had the problem again.

my girlfriend lives with a female roommate. and when we have sex there we try to keep it quiet when she is there, but i know she can still hear us. thing is once after we had sex my girlfriend went out to go to the bathroom and she caught her roommate masturbating. Now i realize it wasn't just a coincidence after all.
i can also name a time when we heard her roommate having sex and we got pretty horny. besides that i don't think the neighbors above or next to her room can hear us, and we don't hear them because the guy next to us is never home. and the people above us is a deaf guy and his son. we just hear a tv blasting from them at 3am. it's been quieter so i'm guessing they've been getting a lot of complaints. |

In our condos, almost no sound comes through the walls. Except for our previous neighbors. We'd be in bed, then the screaming would start. That's how we knew it was Thursday. Seriously, Thursdays were the only nights they would fuck. Or at least fuck loud enough for us to hear. I wish it was a turn-on for my wife.
