17 yr old boy and noisy sex

[jans18]

My 17 yr old has discovered sex and his gf, 16, is enthusiastic and rather noisy. His room is such a mess he can't even shut the door properly and relies on the fact that you can't see the bed from the hallway. I'd like to get him to shut the door and keep the noise down so his younger brother does not have to wear headphones. Has anyone managed to have a conversation about this sort of thing? What on earth do I say? Do I tell just him, or both of them? I was thinking I'd just be straight and yell something like 'can you keep the noise down!' but I dont want to embarass them - or perhaps I should. Opinions very welcome!

Embarrassing them is the only way to get around. When see them bring it up

[Hulababy]

You have to tell them, embarrassment or not.
Make sure that your ds is aware that the whole family can hear and that it is disrespectful of them both to make others uncomfortable. Either he keeps it quiet so noone can actually tell what they are doing or he doesn't have sex when anyone is at home.

Or threaten to let him know exactly how embarrassing it is - that you and dh will make sure he knows the noise level you are tallking about.

Or make him move into the garage which is where our 17 yr old now lives!

We had a very similar problem last year with our son 20 and GF 17. We allowed him to have her to stay in his room as long as her parents agreed too (she was on the pill), and the rule was they should be discrete, but the GF didn't seem to care. Our 2 daughters both heard various sex noises from GF and absoloutely hated it. We spoke with our son ( we were far too embarrassed to talk to his GF) who then spoke to her and did his best to ensure the door was shut and the noise kept down. I also suggested they play music, which they did. After a while the noise got much less. Although she never stopped leaving her underwear, tissues, used condoms etc under the bed, I began to think she almost wanted to show off her sexuality. I'm sure they'd be disgusted if they heard their parents having sex!!! Good luck

I think it's really important you don't use embarrassment as a tactic, however tempting. This is an issue of respect, and you want your son and his girlfriend to realise that you don't want to hear them, and that they need to respect your wishes. You need to show them the respect you want them to show you, and embarrassing them deliberately would (imo) be disrespectful. Tell your son straight, but politely and privately, what the problem is and what you want him/them to do. :)

[LoopyLoopsCorgiPoops]

Ground rules. Door closed, no-one else to hear. OR not GF staying over.

Also might be worth pointing out that he's unlikely to keep her long if he doesn't tidy his room every now and then.

[AnyFucker]

I wouldn't tolerate that in my own house

After years of me keeping the fucking noise down, I wouldn't let my own teenager take the piss like that

It's such bad manners, and disrespectful

If they want to be treated like grown ups, they should act like one

And part of being a grown up is understanding that some things are private, and not to be flaunted just because you can

They simply could not in my house. One strike and out....let them go shag behind the bike sheds like I had to at that age if they can't respect your right to not hear them at it

[LynetteScavo]

8AnyFucker* puts it very well.

Especially the second sentence,

[Mrsjay]

I have to say anyfucker put it much better than i could , tell them you dont want to hear it or let them do it in a field so they can be as noisey as they lik e

[SecondhandRose]

I have to agree, it is your home after all. My parents wouldnt even let my boyfriend go upstairs!

[funnymummy9]

AnyFucker is totally correct!

Tell them to keep it down, or do the deed in a bush. Also explain that it's disrespectful of the younger child in the house.

[orangeandlemons]

We used to bang on the wall That quietened the litle sods.

[Nobhead]

Jesus Christ-I would have been utterly mortified if my boyfriends parents would have heard us knobbing when I was 16.
Just tell them that whilst you are not stupid enough to think that they aren't sexually active you don't appreciate having to listen to her orgasming and neither do the rest of the family- shag quietly or fuck off somewhere else and do it. I bet they don't do that at her parents house, plain disrespectful IMO.

[Mrsjay]

OP maybe you and your husband should go at it when they are in be loud and proud watch them scuttle out

[boredandrestless]

I cannot imagine what teens would be happy to shag LOUDLY with the door unclosed while mum and little bro can hear! Yuck.

Plus what anyfucker said - with bells on. Bet this behaviour wouldn't go down well at the gf's house with her family .

[Mrsjay]

My friend used to get up out of bed and go downstairs when her son had a girl home , she said she would at the noise , they had no shame , he doesnt live at home now

[Bossybritches22]

Get your DH/DP to slap his son proudly on the back, in front of the GF & say

"that's my boy, chip off the old block eh? " broad wink to the GF.

[1950sHousewife]

Bossybritches has it!!!

Being congratulated would surely be more cringeworthy than anything.
Make sure your DH/DP seals the deal with a 'triumphant dad-dance'.

[TwllBach]

I would have melted into a huge steaming mess on the floor if, at 17, or any age actually, my or my BFs parents heard me shagg

[TwllBach]

Stupid fat fingers.

Shagging. I don't understand why neither of them are embarrassed - especially with the door being open!

[FunnyLovesTheJubilee]

this sounds familiar to me

[Ragwort]

Seriously, why do you 'allow' such behaviour in your own home - we all used to do it in the back of a car or behind the bike sheds - I would rather have died than have sex in my parents' home - you are far too easy going.

[JobCarHouseNoBaby]

Well humiliation worked for me at that age... dp and I (soon to be dh) were particularly enthusiastic one Sunday morning at his parents house, where his room is above the kitchen. Came downstairs after an hour or so when his mum said "do you know, I was in the kitchen peeling the spuds for the roast and I thought you two were going to come through the ceiling!" His Dad then smiled at dp and said "that's my boy"
