Couple having sex in front of window

It sounds like an imagination is not needed in this instance. It's posh people dogging.

Seeing someone shagging in an open window - even if it is a loft window - is one of those things that is not only perfectly possible, but it is definitely possible. The OP and her family are seeing it. Are you saying she is lying?

Except the OP 😀

Actually, if the letter doesn't work, the next port of call is the police. It's indecent exposure.

Lots of things are "perfectly possible". And lots of things aren't.

Yes, this!

If they can be seen without use of binoculars or similar then I'd say that's pretty close.

As others have said it sounds like they 'get off' on knowing that people can see them. It's an offence to commit 'lude' acts in public which, in effect, is what they're doing.

I was mortified to be told (very gently & kindly) by my neighbour that my kitchen blinds are not as thick as I thought &, when she was putting her bins out the other night, she could see the outline of me while I was padding around in the kitchen in the dark nude & with the light on. Never again will I wander around my house at night with lights on without a dressing gown on. 😱

They’re clearly doing it on purpose. If they know they’ve got massive windows and no curtains in there and they’re doing it in broad daylight, they know what they’re doing. They’re not even trying to be discreet by getting some curtains/blinds or choosing a different room.

A letter won’t work. Report them to the council as a first port of call.

I agree OP i wouldn’t want any1 (not only children, maybe your cleaner/builder / elderly relative/ etc. etc.) in my house to be confronted with this neighbours displays! I’d just ask them to close their curtains, by letter if that makes it easier for you.
I might even offer some 2nd hand curtains to start off the new arrangement! Or can some form of outdoor barrier keep the bedroom view hidden?

You really thought people couldn't see you getting undressed, in front of an open 'uncurtained' window, at night - with the light on? Really?!

I would drop a polite note in first of all, then if it happens again I'd report them to the Police.

There is a fine line here. If they know they can be seen it’s public indecency and can be reported I expect. Maybe send a note first and see if it stops if it doesn’t I would see if it’s reportable. No-one’s young children need to watch.

Fair point, if they are actually perverts then embarrassing them won't help.

Honestly everyone saying look away shut ur curtains. I’m sure if ur were YOUR kids it would be a difference story. Yes they are entitled to do what the want in their own home but to do it in full view of anyone they’re either doing it deliberately or don’t realise folk can see. I think a note to say in the first instance would be welcomed by most people and if it doesn’t stop or changes are made ie curtains etc then I would threaten with further complains to authorities. Just because things happen in your own home doesn’t mean it’s ok. No one need to see that crap.

The more I think about this, the more certain I am that if I were in this position (yours, not theirs 😉) then I would email the police/ online chat and inform them of public indecency and lewd acts in public. Nothing much will come of it. But even if they talk to them about it, it might bring about a change in behaviour.

Either that or crowd fund some curtains for them and leave them on the front door

Or 0.75miles away. Or 0.5miles away. So many people being so literal on this thread.

I had a bf once who didn't close his curtains while dressing. One day he received a polite note from a neighbour pointing out that as she had young children, please would he mind being more careful about what might be inadvertently exposed in his bedroom window. It made him a little embarrassed but neither of us thought it was out of order at all, just something that hadn't crossed his mind and of course she had a good point.
I wouldn't think twice about dropping a polite note through their door, it's important that your kids don't see this especially when it can be easily remedied. You don't necessarily have to reference the sex, they'll get the hint.

100 yards is "less than a mile away".

Any chance of an idea of scale (fnarr, fnarr) are we talking feet or yards. I've just looked across my road, and it's 20 metres from my window to the house opposites downstairs front window. And unless they were at it on the top bunk of a bunk bed, I wouldn't see anything, even with stadium floodlighting and someone selling T-Shirts outside.

A diagram might help ?

Yes please

They’re doing it on purpose. I have exhibitionist fantasies, and years ago, my husband and I had sex in front of an uncovered window. But it was in total darkness, twenty-eight floors up, in a building that had no other buildings of that height nearby, because we weren’t trying to violate anyone by making them witness sex they hadn’t consented to see.

Only going to work if OP has a camera with a telephoto long distance lens given the house is "in the distance"

How far is it though? “Much less than a mile away” could be half a mile (or more), 400 yards, 100 yards, 10 yards etc.

I strongly suspect that it’s quite a long way away otherwise you’d have said upfront that it’s just a few yards.

My, what a vivid imagination you have.

Police

Let them deal with it
