To be mortified and not able to look my neighbours in the eye now

So last night DH and I were... Y'know.

We got pretty far into it when I realised the bedroom window was wide open.

I am horrified. We live on a quiet street so no traffic noise to drown it out and I can often hear neighbours conversations etc... if their windows are open.

I wasn't screaming like a pornstar or anything but I was definitely enjoying myself Blush and there were some unmistakable 'moans' Blush

In the heat everyone has been leaving their windows open and I can't believe I forgot. I'm usually a shy person but enjoy a chat with my neighbours when I see them so I now feel utterly embarrassed.

I don't even know what my AIBU is. Hoping someone might have an even more embarrassing story to share perhaps?

For your titilation? nah.

NomDeQwerty · 17/07/2019 08:55

How embarrassing for you. I have loads of stories like that but I wouldn't post on here because this kind of thread is very likely to end up on a 'news'paper's website.

Bezalelle · 17/07/2019 08:55

Och, don't worry about it. It's just sex!

MegaMonsterMunch · 17/07/2019 08:55

You never know, they may have been at it too. I wouldn't worry. I am absolutely wondering how you're managing to have sex in this heat, though. You're a machine Grin

SwishSwishSheesh · 17/07/2019 08:56

Ahh that made me laugh Grin don't sweat it OP!

Just ask your neighbour if they heard the couple going at it the other night? Pretend it was someone else.

TheVanguardSix · 17/07/2019 09:00

Sex. It’s part of living. Don’t even sweat it, OP.

NoBaggyPants · 17/07/2019 09:00

I expect your neighbours already know that you have sex. And couldn't care one bit.

It was pretty tough going but we managed Grin kind of killed the mood though when I jumped up shouting 'THE WINDOW IS OPEN'!

I've been here a while but have, for obvious reasons, name changed for this. If my neighbours are on here I apologise...

I like this idea although the thought of discussing sex at all with them makes me blush!

I expect they do but I don't really want someone to hear it!

Maybe I just embarrass easily but the thought of them hearing it and likely laughing to themselves is making me internally cringe.

MNHQ are you able to confirm that I am not in fact a journalist and/or troll please?

I've been here for quite some time and posted about various different things!

I’ve heard neighbours having sex. I didn’t really think anything of it: they’re adults in a relationship so it’s not exactly unusual.

I’d rather hear sex than loud arguments - my previous neighbours had lots of those.

The next time you talk to your neighbour mention the severe episode of gastrointestinal discomfort you suffered recently. This will account for the moaning. To add credence to your story, pretend to need the lavatory urgently and rush back inside. If you want to seal the deal, actually soil yourself.

MikeUniformMike · 17/07/2019 09:16

A married couple having sexual intercourse. At night!
How very dare they.

Who cares?

AFlurry · 17/07/2019 09:19

I don't get why people are acting like it isn't embarrassing?!

Ok so married people have sex obviously but yes I absolutely would be embarrassed at the thought of my neighbours listening to it!!

Feck off tabloid paper. You're not fit to line a litter tray

I'm not a fucking journalist. HTH

U2HasTheEdge · 17/07/2019 09:23

Who cares?

I don't understand what the problem is really. Neighbour knows you had sex. Big deal.

As I said in my OP I'm a shy person, the thought makes me very uncomfortable knowing that other people may have heard it.

Quite clearly everyone else is fine with the street listening to their bedtime antics!

Is it really that hot in the UK? I moved abroad 3 years ago and my forecasts say 22-23 C?!
