A couple of nights a week, I hear my next door neighbor having sex. At first, I honestly thought it was one of her little yappy dogs barking, but then I realized it was her moaning in pleasure. I could also hear her boyfriend smacking her on the ass, making her moan even more. It seems to be their rhythm. Do I moan? Do they hear it?

A true horror, or what do you think? I think that women who make a lot of noise during sex have an inferiority complex that they deal with by alerting their surroundings on exactly how good time they have. Personally I'd think it a terrible turnoff, but thankfully I haven't had to endure it yet. I did have a flatmate, a woman who really enjoyed to moan and gasp at a dB-level that people normally don't gasp and moan at, so it was kind of blatantly obvious that she wanted us to hear it. Especially since she now and then "accidentally" left the door ajar.
