I AM A REGULAR POSTER BUT NAME CHANGED FOR OBVIOUS REASON.
MY OH AND I HAD SEX LAST NIGHT AND WHEN WE HAD FINISHED I REALISED THAT I HAD LEFT THE BEDROOM WINDOW OPEN. I AM MORTIFIED AS I AM SURE MY NEIGHBOURS PROBABLY HEARD US AS THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW WAS OPEN.
I AM SO EMBARRASED. WANT TO AVOID THEM TODAY. OH THINKS I AM MAD AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HEARD.

Depends how loud you are

MrsFio · 01/09/2006 09:13

unless you live ina d etached house i am sure they hear yopu anyway

and having sex with your partner is normal, he is hardly the windowcleaner

HappyDaddy · 01/09/2006 09:40

Nothing to be embarrassed about, unless you were having sex with your neighbour's husband!

nailpolish · 01/09/2006 09:41

nah, i wouldnt be embarrassed

they will all be jealous

HappyDaddy · 01/09/2006 09:44

DW insists on keeping quiet so no-one can hear. Shame neighbours on both sides aren't like minded, they make loads of noise. If you'd seen them, you'd know why it's not pleasant!

nailpolish · 01/09/2006 09:46

the louder the better IMO

HappyDaddy · 01/09/2006 09:55

But you're a dirty so and so, np.

ShowOfHands · 01/09/2006 09:59

I wouldn't worry about it, we have to put up with our next door neighbours having sex at an incredible volume and they're really old. She's at least 50.

mustrunmore · 01/09/2006 10:01

I'd rather be overheard having sex than having an argument!

fairyjay · 01/09/2006 10:24

50 and still having sex - how gross!!!

nailpolish · 01/09/2006 10:26

are you serious??? why is that gross???

fairyjay · 01/09/2006 10:33

ShowofHands seems to think so. Slightly worrying, as I'm not too far away

HappyDaddy · 01/09/2006 10:35

Bloody hope I'm still having sex at 50, 60 or even 90 .

MINNIE1 · 01/09/2006 10:40

O what the hell If they heard you they more then likly had a good giggle and went for it themselves, Nothing wrong with having a healthy sex life and it would be worse if it was the neighbours husband. A girl said it to me on hols years ago how we were so loud, i told he not to listen if you dont like!

MrsFio · 01/09/2006 12:37

I like the way people think having sex at 50 or 60 is gross!!!! just you wait! and how one arth is it gross, oh it makes me laugh it does

VeniVidiVickiQV · 01/09/2006 12:43

Nothing wrong with it. Dont worry, and dont worry in future either, it'll spoil it for you if you lay there worrying about keeping it buttoned. Well, unless.....anyway.... If they did hear anything, they are hardly likely to say anything or indicate that they heard anything.

redsky · 01/09/2006 12:47

Sex at 50 gross?????? Bet you won't be saying that when YOU are 50!!!!

joelallie · 01/09/2006 12:51

I'd prefer not to hear next door and for them not to hear us but as we always have the window open at night I guess there's no chance of that. No big deal unless you are really really loud?

wannaBe1974 · 01/09/2006 14:29

"they're really old, she's at least 50". I seem to recall that when i was about 10, 20 seemed really old. oh how quickly 20 came round, and 30, and how quickly will 50 come round too ... and considering the majority of people live till they're about 75 or so, if 50 is "really old" then 75 must be positively ancient, and the thought of not having sex for at least 25 years before I die ... ...

ShowOfHands · 01/09/2006 16:50

Oh dear, I was joking! I was trying to be light hearted!

50 certainly is not old, I guess my ironic tone doesn't translate online...

chenin · 01/09/2006 17:37

how insulting....! I am 51 and don't consider myself 'really old'. Wait till you are over 50 showofhands...

chenin · 01/09/2006 17:39

okay... just read it was a joke so I'll lighten up! I feel like I'm 30, that's the trouble!

SQUIRMING- we did hear you, plus the walls are very thin, please stop grossing us out with your noises, we cant sleep . in fact we hear you at it a lot even with the windows shut. and your 3 dogs. and your bloody chickens.

Ellbell · 01/09/2006 20:14

When dh (then boyf) and I lived in a shared house, one morning a housemate said (loudly, in my hearing) 'I thought I heard an owl hooting last night... but it was just Ellbell and Mr Ellbell'. Now that was embarrassing
