    In reply to Sex Sounds: How Loud Is Too Loud?
    My neighbors that lived above me would always have sex at the same time every night, after I had gone to bed. I could hear everything, but it wasn't their moans that put me over the edge but the squeaky floorboard their bed was on right.over.my head.

    I simply wrote them a note saying "Hey, you live above me, and while I completely support a healthy sex life involving 2 consenting adults, can you move your bed like 6 inches to either side? You sound like you're going to fall through the ceiling and it's waking me up."

    They didn't move the bed, but they did move their sexing to an earlier time. Neither of us ever mentioned the note, and the problem was solved. #loudsex

    Look, if your sex requires you to scream at a level that disturbs neighbors, you go buy a house in the country, miles away from everyone else. You will only violate the eardrums of cows and goats. Problem solved. #loudsex

    Soundproofing. Look into it.

    I had newlywed upstairs neighbors when I lived in an apartment in WI who were OBNOXIOUSLY loud - moaning and screaming with the headboard smacking the wall like a sledgehammer.

    Initially I thought my irritation was jealousy (that sounds like fun - boo, poor me) but after awhile it just got to the point where I wanted to go ring their doorbell or call them on the phone or just about anything to get the noise to stop already. Marathon sessions I tell you.

    Common courtesy. People need to have it for each other. Ridiculous noises that wake you up from a sound sleep - from several doors down - there's just no excuse. And that's actually describing another more recent neighbor who lived three houses away and partied every Saturday night on his back deck, getting louder and louder as the night got later and he got drunker. One night there were 5 of us gathered at the end of our driveways debating whether or not to call security. #loudsex

    related story, sophomore year i woke up 2 in the morning to what i thought was my suitemate and her boyfriend fighting again. just before i opened the door to scream at them both, i heard "did you cum?"

    i backed slowly away from the door in recoiled horror. went into my bed and curled into fetal position.

    It isn't a matter that they are sex noises- it is a matter that it is noise. You have no right to blast music or scream death metal songs at levels which disturb your neighbors or people passing by. A right isn't suddenly created just because your screaming happens to be from sex. Nuisance laws, learn em Ms. Cartwright.

    She only gets a pass if they are able to prove their sounds were not above the threshold, so I will give some nod to the fact the city installed decibel meter showed they were not that loud. #loudsex

    If I can hear you having sex then I reserve the right to loudly imitate those sex noises at inappropriate times, ala Forrest Gump.
    That's the trade off folks. I will scream loudly and grunt like you do when I see your in-laws walking up to your porch for Christmas dinner. Take it or leave it. #loudsex

    I think you should be as loud as the hell you want!

    In all seriousness, there is a time to be a loud and a time to be quiet. I think it's only polite to try to keep it down if you're disturbing others. #loudsex

    Oh god that picture. Just perfect. The cross reminds me of this pamphlet that my brother's girlfriend was hysterically reciting all weekend. She found it in an airport and it said something like: God created sex, Satan perverted it. Which, now that I think about it sounds like Satan was just a more inventive lover. #loudsex

    Honestly, I think in their situation I'd have soundproofed or at least hung noise reducing curtains or something.

    Then again, I also tend to be quiet while occupied and have no problem putting a pillow or my arm over my mouth if I'm in a louder mood so what do I know? #loudsex

    It's not private if the whole world can hear you, and if it bothers your neighbors and interferes with the quality of their life, then common courtesy dictates you should turn it down a notch.

    Sex noises are no different from yelling or playing music in that regard. #loudsex

    @BeckySharper: Agreed. And it sounds like a habitual thing, which is unfair to the people living around you. You pay money to go about your private life in your house/apartment, but so do they, and I think they have a right to live in their own personal spaces without the unwanted soundtrack of your boning. #loudsex

    In reply to Emma Thompson's Name To Be Removed From Polanski Petition This Week
    Sorry, but I am not impressed. Someone whose pet issue is sex trafficking needs to be *convinced* to remove her support for the release of a well-known child rapist? It's not like she didn't have the same access to the pertinent details of the case as we all did before signing the petition.
