R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Looks like there are more 20 somethings here so I really want opinions on this. My man and I share a house with his son and his son's girlfriend and my office is right next to his son's room.

Since I got upstairs from doing my workout in the basement, they have been fucking loudly, banging the wall and making this monitor shake. While I was in the kitchen making soup for dinner I had to try not to hear him smacking her ass and her loud moans and cries.

When my man and I get it on, we're pretty quiet about it, and try to save the gymnastics for when no one is home.

Do you think they're being slightly disprespectful of my down time, or am I being a prude?

hey...remember what it was like to be young? (i know i do) let them get it on...maybe tape and sell it on the black market.. could make some cash on it

Nope. We both grew up sharing bedrooms with siblings. Dude I could jack myself off three times laying right next to you in bed and you'd never know.

chances are they aren't thinking about whether they're being disrepectfull or not; they're too busy "doin' it." you could have that really uncomfortable conversation but instead you might just want to turn up the volume or your sessions. if they hear you they might realize how loud they are being and reign in it a bit.

i think they're being disrespectful.

when you live with someone, no matter if it's your parent or your sibling or your roommate, etc., you should be aware that you're sharing space. if they were playing loud music while you were trying to work, you'd probably ask them to turn it down, right? it's a reasonable complaint, and i'm sure if you brought up the subject tactfully, they'd tone it down while you're around. and if they refuse, they're assholes.

Maybe you and you mate should put on a loud sex sesson when their home and see how they like it...even better wait till their friends are there. Thats what I would do.

I think I'll talk to the man and see if at least banging on the wall would do the trick.. I'm not technically working...but sometimes when I'm writing it's a little unnerving to hear him smack her ass in the the middle of a tense piece.

I am NEVER purposefully loud when I know he's sleeping. I NEVER bother him when he's fucking someone, but today was just over the top. Over. the. top.

Poke the ceiling underneath their room with a broom handle.

Then yell all mumble-like and shake your fist upwards even though they can't see it.

Don't forget to make a face like this:

Even funnier if to start taking pictures

And the face, Clara favors the face too.

I'd suggest just talking to them. They may not realize they're bothering you.

The house I live in is has about ten people living in it at capacity, and if people are having loud sex my general opinion is 'at least someone is having a fulfilling sex life.' Unless I'm trying to sleep, and it is after midnight. Then doors get kicked in by people with icy cold squirtguns.

If I ever have a band I'm going to name it Icy Cold Squirtguns.

I dont think it's quite to the level of disrespectful, but deffinately inconsiderate. I agree they're probaby just too busy fucking to notice, but maybe if you start turning the stereo up really loud, they'd realize how loud their being and realize it's bothering you.

might I suggest keeping handy a recording of Ethel Merman singing "There's No Business Like Show Business"?.... or perhaps the "1812 Overture"?... or my personal favorite, banging on the wall and screaming "SOME PEOPLE USE BEDS FOR SLEEPING!"...

hey, I don't think it's meant as disrespect... they're young, horny & it's what they do in their down time... you're looking at a nekkid web site... they're becoming the subject on a sex thread on a nekkid web site... move the monitor away from the wall, put on some head phones & if that doesn't do it for ya... throw the hot soup on them

maybe they are well aware of how loud they are, and are just trying to get to you...do ya'll have a good relationship? I know when I was living with the in-laws and my loser sister in-law move back in we fucked as loud as we could as much as we could just to piss her off..


but that's just me.

Wait until a completely unrelated moment, like when he has other friends round, and then lend him some sex toys.

You should bust in one day and claim that the smacking sounds made you think someone was in danger.

He's a bit of an asshat in the racial supremacy department as well, so I think that the next time he does it, I'm going to crank some Ladysmith Black Mombasa or Klezmer music.

Perhaps him being somewhat of a supremacist lends him to believe he is superior to you as well and this is his way of letting you know that he doesn't think too much of you. Or her for that matter...sometimes the two go hand in hand.

Being 21, male, and full of testosterone I believe he's a legend in his own mind.

Then ask him why he still lives at home.
