I stayed in a hotel the other night where the couple in the next room where having very noisy sex. For ages.
This post is not about the protocols of being noisy in hotels or public places, that's a different subject matter.
The reason for this post is to ask whether people in long term relationships have noisy sex like that or not?
I'm ashamed to admit that my overriding emotion as I lay there unable to not listen to them was one of sadness.
This was in the main due to envy that they were clearly enjoying what must have been pretty mind blowing sex - at least from her perspective. Something that I've never experienced with a partner before, but would dearly love to (too late now, married, kids, and very quiet, dull by comparison sex).
It made me realise that never in my life have I made love to a woman and experienced anything even remotely like that level of vocalisation or professed enjoyment.
Don't get me wrong, I know what an orgasm sounds like, although I've never heard one called out at full pitch/volume, but this was on a different level.
All my sexual experiences have been occasional muted moans and groans, a little heavy breathing, and perhaps a gasp/sigh or two at the end.
This sounded like the labour ward.
It made me feel like I've never even remotely got close to giving a woman that kind of pleasure where they call out loudly over and over again. It was as if it was an hour long continuous orgasm, and a corker at that!
I've seen porn stars sound like they're having a limb amputated without anaesthetic and always assumed it was utter nonsense, but to hear it in real life was a kick in the nuts.
So, is it normal to be that vocal, and if so, am I correct in believing that it must feel absolutely, utterly intoxicatingly magnificent to result in making that amount of uncontrollable noise?
If so, do I assume that I'm just completely terrible in bed?
I appreciate some women are noisier than others, but surely you don't make that kind of noise unless you're having your mind blown?
Our sex has always been very quiet, and when the kids came along, pretty much silent. Even when we've got the house to ourselves (and we occasionally have sex) it's still quiet enough that nobody could ever hear in the next room.
I just feel like I'm missing out on this exciting, passionate, noisy sex and the pleasure that must create it.
Any thoughts?
