To think sex noises sound ridiculous

I'm in a hotel bedroom peacefully having a cup of tea. Or was.... the couple in the room next door have just started having noisy sex. And the walls are thin. Lots of huffing, puffing, moaning and groaning.

AIBU to think sex noises sound utterly ridiculous 🙄

I used to live next door to loud shaggers, but it was only ever the woman i heard which ked me to donder why? Are women conditioned to make more noise?

Probably a society thing as women quickly realised they need to stroke their men’s egos by making noises… pretty sure it’s not a mammal thing (though happy to be corrected as am not googling animal sex noises thanks!)

Maybe the male grunting and animal noises were at a pitch too deep and manly to make it through the wall/be heard by human ears? Or the woman was operating solo with something battery-powered?

Some people can be a bit over the top, but I can't think of anything worse than silent sex. At least they are enjoying themselves. They should try to keep the noise down in a hotel, though, as that's it's a bit selfish if others are trying to sleep or if there are children.

Can you really not think of anything worse than silent sex? You must have lived a very sheltered life.

All I hear is thumping headboards and creaking mattress from next door . That's why we do it on the floor 😂

I'd rather hear people having a shag than arguing or kids screaming or playing crap music at ten million decibels. We're nothing but mammals after all, at least most humans don't make sex noises like tortoises. THAT would be annoying.

What noise do tortoises make.

I think in a hotel or whatever part of the thrill of being loud is so that others can hear which is gross.

It's too early on a Sunday morning to Google Turtle Sex Noises, but if you imagine someone squeezing a very loud squeaky toy over and over again...

Sorry but I am probably one of those people.

We've got three kids so if we are in a hotel it's the only opportunity we get to have sex where it's not rushed, under the covers and relatively quiet.

Having said that I don't put on a performance or a display. Huffing puffing and groaning is normal for sex no?

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 22/09/2024 10:57

OMG! I googled it. It’s the funniest thing.

Of course. A lot of activities seem bizarre if you take out a crucial element. Music videos without the sound. Sex noises without the visuals.

CaptainCabinetsTrappedInCabinets · 22/09/2024 11:05

Just start yelling "now we know!" over and over

MrsSkylerWhite · 22/09/2024 11:06

It famously happens in hotels 🤷‍♀️

Might have been a policeman looking at his phone?

This isn't really an answer, but we'd gone to a hotel this year and we've only just checked into our room so it was early afternoon and for some reason I was in my 18-year-old sons room we heard sex noises in the room next door and I was so embarrassed I kind of dived under the bed because I didn't wanna look at him while I could hear sex noise and then we felt like we couldn't go out of the room because we might bump into the people coming out of their room because it was obviously just a quickie, so we ended up staying in there, me under the bed for a while until it died down then we ran out furtively to join the other children

There are people who have sex in total silence? Really? How?

It's not like it's done on purpose, good sex is noisy.

100% this. Got to boost the fragile male ego at all times.

You really can't imagine any scenario where you might have sex quietly? 🙄

Record it on your phone and play it back on full volume after they’ve finished and are having a cup of tea!

I wouldn’t want to do this. You could then open your door to find a family with young children standing there open mouthed, thinking it was you making all the ridiculous noises.

Movinghouseatlast · 22/09/2024 12:56

My friend was in a bed and breakfast having breakfast. The people next to her finished their Full English and headed upstairs. Within a few minutes there were very loud sex noises coming from the room above!

StormingNorman · 22/09/2024 12:58

Sex is all very silly if you break it down. Funny noises. Pulling faces. Contorting like a game of Twister.

Soluckyinlove · 22/09/2024 13:03

My neighbours were very loud on occasion. My husband and I discovered, by accident, that if we started giggling loudly it seemed to put them off.🤣🤣🤣
