Noisy sex....

[CurlewKate]

What would you do if your new housemate had noisy sex, sometimes 3 times a night, in the room above yours. Apart from admiring his stamina, of course.....

Poor ds and his girlfriend ended up sleeping on their living room floor last night. They both hate confrontation but they know they have to do something. He has his TV very loud and he apologetically turned it down when they asked and they hoped he would make the connection-but no. Any ideas?

They just need to tell him he was so noisy they couldn’t sleep in their bed. No need to mention sex yet, depending on his response.

@AGodawfulsmallaffair I think they felt that had done that when they talked to him about his TV....

Hopefully his tv wasn’t on this time!

Id probably get a sweeping brush and hit the ceiling with it in the hopes I don't have to say anything directly

Just tell them to tell him. Maybe he needs a less noisy bed. Maybe he needs to be more considerate of his housemates.

Start cheering football fan style...

Honestly although I love my children dearly this would be a time when I would be thinking 'I'm glad I don't have to deal with that'. They need to find a way to sort it out themselves don't they? Maybe bromide in the house ketchup?

Play Barry White very loudly. And/or shout out encouraging suggestions ("go on loverboy, you can do it!") and then give marks out of ten.

My housemate told me I was a noisy sexer! We just waited till she was out in future and moved the bed off the wall. Just tell him

It's performative, they know what they are doing. I had a 'noisy' flatmate years ago who thought it was oh so hilarious as she screamed the house down.

"Oh gosh, did I wake you.....really.....oh wow ha ha ha I just get carried away"

She was never going to move out and given that her freeloading boyfriend was spending more time at our place rather then his own because our place was nicer we eventually served notice to the landlord and found a new place sans Little Miss Screamer.

Give a round of applause once its finished. They may get the message.

No.

Just tell them they are being inconsiderate housemates. I need my sleep and getting out of bed at 2am to play Barry White, provide rounds of applause or instigate creative ways of conveying an otherwise simple message is just pointless.

"Hi X, you woke us all up again last night shagging and I have spent all day today absolutely knackered. Other peopke live here so please be considerate"

People seem to get funny about dealing with antisocial noise when it is sex based. If someone was learning how to play the guitar at midnight or watching a loud tv you would have no bother telling them to quieten down.

Our flatmate at uni screamed the place down. And she admitted after that it wasn’t even that good, she just wanted to let everyone know she was getting laid

Respected her for her honesty lol

@Spinet "They need to find a way to sort it out themselves don't they?"

Of course they do-but I would be sad if I felt my adult children couldn't ask for suggestions if they were in a situation they weren't sure how to handle.

Where can you buy bromide, by the way?

They can just say over coffee in the morning...

'bloody hell Dave, we hardly got a wink of sleep last night, could hear you shagging on and off all night! The insulation between the floors in this house is crap!!'.

But maybe that's just me...?!

They're all adults...
