My neighbor is having loud sex at 8:30 in the morning!

[Serendipite]

They usually have loud sex (it's the woman we hear often) but this time, it's at bloody 8:30 in the morning!

What would you do?

Yeah, that's not really a thing though, is it? We don't call men we deem to be too sexually active a "slap" so it doesn't carry much sting. "Slapper" on the other hand is a really unpleasant word for a woman who is considered promiscuous. It sounded like a daft comment, no more no less. But the poster that wrote the comment will know more of where it's coming from as it's her husband not mine.

I was that traumatised kid who heard the neighbours next door!

Every Sunday, without fail, I’d be woken up by them both screaming and grunting, their bed must of been directly on the other side of the wall from mine. I got really upset at first as I thought they were fighting, but my mum told me they were just playing. After that it didn’t bother me except to wonder what game it was!

Lucky them. I appreciate it might be unpleasant to listen to, in which case, distract yourself I guess.

I've entirely forgotten what its like to have sex feeldesiredbefancied and its making me miserable tbh.

I couldn’t do sex at that time. I might spill my tea.

Shout 'Faster, faster!' or at the end "Encore, Encore!"

wiggly

Isn't that even more obnoxious?they're probably enjoying themselves (and don't actually want the OP to hear their sex noises / aren't doing it to disturb the OP...)

But if the OP did this?
S/he'd be doing it intentionally / to make herself heard.

And the other neighbours probably won't be too happy either. They'd have to deal with the sex noises and the OP's screaming / clapping...

may i ask what you';re doing at 8.30am? are you homebound? or workign from home? they probably do it at that time since they know a lotof peolpe are not at home then. just it's not that early, since kids are at school or in transit there, and adults are working.

If anything, 8,30am is better than 6am or even 2am when people are asleep.

I think she meant its at the weekend.
I'd be a bit irritated if I got woken up by it on a weekend because I like to sleep until 9, but sex noises in general..Meh. Why does everyone think the noises are fake? Has noone ever made you moan and groan then?!
If I was up I would just put some music on to drown it out. We most of us live surrounded by other people. People fuck (if they are lucky). It's better than arguing!

It's a Saturday morning so 8:30am is still early around here. We don't have kids but the sound is too loud it can also be heard in the hallway and outside where the parking is.

I'm more amused than anything. It's not a one-off too, as they always have really loud sex, it's just it's 8:30am this time on a weekend. Which is fine I guess for us, but maybe the other neighbours with kids have some explaining to do to their kids. lol

I often ran into them in the hallway too and everything's neighbourly-normal.

YABU if you don’t have kids. Put some moby on Spotify and get on with your day

We have sex (apparently loud) at 22.30 about twice a eeek as that’s ‘safe child asleep’ time

8.30am is unusual but at the same time, morning sex Is lovely

Our old house was an end semi detached and the wallls were so thin. I was once sat in my lounge and heard my next door neighbour fart in her bath —dont be obtuse and say how did I know she was in the bath, everyone knows what a bath fart sounds like— and it was at that moment I knew that she’d have definitely heard me and my DH shagging over the 13 years we lived there. We moved in aged 21, she had to listen to us in our prime but the poor woman had the good grace never to let on!

I think I would wear ear plugs...plus it's 8.30am, its not like they are waking you up at 3am..

Plus I'd be mortified to ever discuss something like that with a neighbour...I mean how would you ever be able to look them in the eye after that...

And if you can hear them having sex and their baby when it cries, it's a good bet that they can hear your conversations, arguments , tv when it's on, music when you are listening to it, and noises when you have sex...they may just be doing what you have been doing and ignoring it...

You might think you are quiet but may sound loud on their side of the wall, they might think they are quiet and sound loud on your side of the wall...

Ear plugs, radios white noise machine etc will drown them out

What is an "acceptable" time OP for them to have sex? If children hearing is an issue, then late at night/early mornings are the best option but then adults such as yourselves would moan and say they woild be sleeping etc.

For what its worth if the children were young enough to need explaining they would be too young to understand anyway. My primary school children wouldn't understand, I would just say oh they must be playing the Wii or similar

but maybe the other neighbours with kids have some explaining to do to their kids. lol

Maybe ;)

"Annie, William: are you sometimes noisy when playing? Like to laugh, giggle, call each other loudly etc? Exactly. Adults are the same. These are just the sounds of adults playing adult games."

Might add something about boring adult games, I suppose.

Idk. It probably wouldn't be too difficult. (As long as the parent doesn't make a big fuss about the neighbours being 'naughty' etc)

That's actually pretty much the explanation my (rather old-fashioned, Catholic) grandmother gave me when I was little.

YANBU OP, I don't know why people feel the need to make a huge performance out of it.

We shared a bedroom with our first child for 2 years, that was great training in keeping the noise down

It's something private - I wouldn't want people to hear me having a shit either!

8.30am on a weekend is fine. just watch tv, or go online. it' a timee when generally people are active, or most are not working.

maybe they are doing it then since it's the only timee they can do it?

thing is, whilst technically it's illegal to cause any disturbance, how will you bring it up? "excuse me, but when you both fuck, you annoy us..." no. i'd put it down as a minor annoyance, since you coudn't report them to the police. well you could, but they would only do something if it's severe. and you'll make enemies of the neighbours to boot.

Omg YABU are you my neighbour.
Get some ear plugs, wall insulation or get a life.

You’re being ridiculous.

At least they know how to have fun!

Mind your own business maybe OP
lots of pearl clutchers on here, ‘the children can hear, oh my goodness, there are things you can tell children if they ask- ‘yes dear, the couple next door are showing each other how much they love each other’ or ‘they’re wrestling’ or ‘ yes I know dear they are noisy, I’ve no idea what they are doing AS ITS NONE OF MY BUSINESS!’

I had a lovely bedsit at Uni, except that the dd of the owner used to come back and have very noisy sex in the room next to mine. When my Mum asked if I wanted to stay there in my final year, I eventually had to tell her why not! It was really bad. You have my sympathy OP.

As they probably do not realise-how thin the wall is, and that you can hear them, you could let them know by playing some music, talking etc at the appropriate time, the finally perhaps.
Something with a fast tempo like the William Tell overture, then wait for the ambulance to arrive, you could even sell tickets for the show.

Tell her to do it more quietly!! Nothing worse than hearing someone else fooking. Apart from seeing it.
