Noisy hotel sex. Why?

249 replies

Why do people have such noisy sex in hotels? I have just got home from a wedding yesterday, after which I stayed in a hotel. The couple in the next room had vocal sex at 2am and again at 8am. Proper shrieks and moans and grunts and words that I could hear through the wall from both of them, for a good half an hour both times.

Have your fun by all means. But why make so much noise?? I know hotel rooms are private but hotels aren't, especially not in the middle of the night.

AIBU to think it's no less selfish (and quite a bit more unreasonable) than keeping other guests up with music or any other noise. It's not the first time I've been kept awake like this.

Emmadale [sic]! I'll have to try that next time.

So you don't mind other people's kids hearing it?

Good point!

Maybe this is their only night off from the kids - or they’re having affairs. Lots of people go to a hotel to have an affair or have sex with an escort. My brother did a stint working for a hotel and they used to get lots of complaints about shaggers and the occasional angry wife at the front desk demanding to know where their husband was…

Maybe don't take your kids to a hotel if you don't want them to hear sex noises or anything else your puritan mind thinks is too distasteful for little Sebastian and Tiffany.

Only jealous people who get no sex seem to be upset at the prospect of hearing other people getting their rocks off I find. Same with people who complain about the smell of cannabis smoke, just get a life wow!

How immature and selfish.

If you have kids, do you subject them to sex noise and dope smoke?

We had a connecting room once but the internal door was locked between us and other occupants.

I was woken by noisy sex next door and I thought it was because of the internal door. Got dressed and went to go for breakfast and you could hear it right down the corridor while we were standing waiting for the lift.

My teenage daughter was mortified by it!

I have never had noisy sex. And never had sex without a splendid orgasm!

The noise is wholly unnecessary.

I agree. Noise detracts from what's going on. If i concentrate i can time myself to fininsh when he does. I've never made a noise at the moment, apart from a quiet "oh" or just exhale into his neck.

I don't buy the screamers, they don't sound anything like someone having a full body orgasm at all. They think it does bc they're copying what they've seen in porn/films. I understand that some men like all the vocalisations and it helps to get them off, but it's not something i'd want to do bc it'd put me right off and have the opposite effect.

Sorry, I was going to reply but then I read …the same high quality shag… and now I can’t stop simultaneously laughing, cringing and imagining you as Austin Powers!

hahaha I thought exactly the same thing, there's something so quintessentially British about this ability to make sex sound so unappealing sometimes 😂

We used to have neighbours like that , so I would bang on their wall loudly, luckily the moved out pretty quickly, we had young children trying to sleep.

They should have got a room …. Oh….

OonaStubbs · Today 16:15

IMO they are sickoes who get their jollies by making other people listening to their sex noises and filthy language. It is disgusting and should NOT be allowed in a respectable establishment.

I don’t buy your first paragraph. Good thing we’re all different, isn’t it?

Mydogisblackandwhite · Today 16:20

We have 3 children aged 9 to 14 do have to have quiet sexy time.... a nite in a hotel means we can relax a bit more and make a bit of noise 😀

BertieMartini · Today 16:26

The comments about jealousy are so puerile. I wonder if any of you were on public transport with your kids - or just by yourself, and someone close by was watching porn on their phone loud enough to hear, you would be fine with that.

I do not want or consent to hearing your sex noises. OP, YANBU. I would have recorded the level of the noise and sent it to reception.

When you've been with someone for a while, of course you can time to finish together. Helps if woman is on top. I don't understand the screaming during orgasm thing, it doesn't sound real to me. Do you think it's real?

Why? Other people's children are not my problem, especially not If I'm in a hotel to have a shag.

Where does it end? Not my problem if I wait outside your hotel door and punch you in the face. Not my problem if I find out which car you went home in and copy your number plate and report you as having scratched my car. And they're just small examples of why consideration is necessary in society. It protects us all. Many people are way closer to snapping than you think.
You are just hoping people are more tolerant than they are.

Exactly this. I have been having orgasms for 25 years and have never once made the noises being made last night.

Good for you, but I can't be quiet during sex unless I consciously force myself to not make a noise, in which case I'm focusing on keeping quiet instead of relaxing and enjoying myself...which really takes away from the experience. So unfortunately, I think I've been guilty of loud sex in hotels myself.

A chance to be free of kids etc and just let loose. A lot of couples love noisy sex. Good luck to them. 👍

Appart from being rude, it's ridiculous, you'd almost feel embarrased for their obvious performance if it wasn't so infuriating.

Prostitutes often work out of hotels.

And people filming for porn sites.

I typically stay in adult only hotels to avoid the ridiculousness of some parents.

Same.

I got astoundingly good oral sex from DH on Friday night followed by the same high quality shag I get at least a couple of times every week.

This is hands down the most hilariously unerotic description of sex I’ve ever heard. I’m picturing clipboards and stopwatches and a husband called Bernard being given a review after each session.

‘The oral sex was outstanding tonight Bernard, but your stroke game could do with some work. I refer you to sexual intercourse encounter document dated 13/01/23 where previous points for improvement were shared’

As to the usual ‘the world must revolve around my innocent children’ - given the many rules and regulations you have for how everyone else should behave in public, it would be much, much easier for you all to stay home and bore each other to death instead of inflicting your joyless ways on the rest of the world.

I don't understand how people can have totally silent sex. I don't mean not screaming the placr down but zero sound?

How? Just how?!
