Neighbours loud sex

65 replies

I live in a terrace house, my neighbour to one side is lovely and so quiet. The one to the opposite side is usually the same. But he's a single guy who has just gotten himself a girlfriend and they are at it for hours!!

I didn't realise just how thin the walls were until this all started. At the moment it's every Sunday from 7pm-11pm (I know it's quite a marathon). And usually during the night/early morning on Monday .My friends and I are convinced he's on viagra. Now I have no qualms with hearing it occasionally as it's just life, but it's the fact it is continuous for hours at a time, I can hear them from my living-room and my bedroom and it's just becoming irritating now. My house is my sanctuary and I'm feeling uncomfortable in my own house. They usually also wake me up around 3am or 6am too and I have work to get up for.

I retaliated this morning (wrongly I know but I was exhausted) by playing Avici - wake me up loudly in my spare room whilst getting read as adjacent to his next door. I'm going to text him to ask that he's just a little bit more considerate but is that being unreasonable? How do you even go about wording something like that? I don't even particular think he will care, he has openly admitted he is sex daft

I once had a neighbour like that become annoying very quickly the song face down ass up turned up high every time I heard them worked a treat haha.

Not sure OP. If you feel comfortable knocking on the door or texting then do.

It's funny that they knocked on the wall when you had music on!

Sex daft 😂

We had a woman like this it was every bloody morning full pitched moaning. We back on to a cycle track which had house on the other side and I was convinced it was from that side. There was always a house with a window open even in cold temperatures, so I'm sure it was them!
Anyway, this cycle track is always used by school kids and they would stop her their phones out and record the sound. One morning it was about 6am and I honestly thought my cat was outside. No, it was her. I had enough and just shouted 'shut up!' out my bedroom window. Not the best thing to do. Never heard her again.

Personally I'd record it and send it as a voice note back to him.
Or thump repeatedly on the wall every single time with a 'shut up!' Should kill their mood a bit. Sounds horrendous.

I had similar once.
I popped a note through the letterbox saying
"Just to let you know I can hear everything from your bedroom when your girlfriend is over. Sometimes you both wake me up.
Letting you know as it is becoming a nuisance, plus I thought you'd be unaware and probably want your privacy".

They popped round to apologise with wine and chocs.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood on repeat as soon as they start

Christ, stick headphones in and leave them to it. They’re enjoying sex and lots of it. Good for them.

WaltzingToWalsingham · 17/05/2021 23:35

How about playing Je t'aime moi non plus, by Serge Gainsbourg? It might help them get it out of the system, and even if not, it's a fairly heavy hint about what you can hear.

Jake the Peg and his Extra Leg by Rolf Harris.

That'll put them off.

When they banged the wall at you for playing music after their 4 hour fuck fest how did you not just scream back ‘I know, right?! ::sex noises:: shut up!!’ Or the second they start, start screeching as loud and as terrifyingly as you can.
