Things like this make me thank the long departed 19th century contractors who built my townhouse and the apartment building it's attached to for putting four layers of solid sound-insulating brick between us and the tenants next door. 'Cause if I can hear their sexytime, that means that they can hear ours.

...and, sadly, I've now come to the thought that I shan't be having sex tonight, either. Sigh.

I used to be able to actually see my neighbors having sex whenever I walked out onto my back porch. It took some serious will power to not just stand there and stare. What's weird about hearing my neighbors is that the few times I've heard it, when I was outside reading or something, it usually had been going on for several minutes before I even registered what that sound was. "Yeah I think the BBQ is hot enough, ahhh what a nice evening, is that bird poop or spackle on the satellite disshhholy shit, that chick is loud!"

This woman would go into the most eloquent

listen. it was like going to a Diamonda Galas concert.

I used to share a bedroom wall and a back deck with my neighbors. That meant that not only did I get to hear their three minutes of sweeeeeet lovemaking, but in pleasant weather, I also overheard their postcoital talk as they came outside, crossed to my side so they could sit on my deck chairs (next to my bedroom's only window), and smoked cigarettes.

It went like this, pretty much word for word, each time:
him: That was great.
her: mm-hm.
him: That was really great.
her: mm-hm.
him: I rocked your world!
her: sure.

In college, Junior year, my dorm room had bunk beds. I had the top bunk. My roommate and his girlfriend would come home drunk and proceed to get busy in the bottom bunk.

Funny thing about physics. While they tried to be quiet and move as little as possible, the slight movement in the lower bunk turned into quite severe movement in the upper bunk. Like "the weather started getting rough/the tiny ship was tossed" rough.

Unlike this dude's neighbors, my roommate and his girlfriend had significant stamina, even drunk, and it could be as long as thirty minutes to an hour before they finished. I would lie silently on the top bunk on the verge of seasickness.

In my fantasies, I would leap down midway through their coitus one night and announce "sorry guys, have to go to the bathroom - can we finish this up when I get back?" but I never had the nerve.

I did however have one challenge I would provide for myself - I'd see how high I could count silently in my head before they finished. Once, I got to 12,000, though I usually lost count around 500 so I don't trust the higher number.

To be fair, it's totally possible that his neighbors (and my mine) have a more extensive period of activity before the [louder vocalizing/huffing and puffing] starts. Three minutes of moaning doesn't mean three minutes of sex.

In my neighbors' case, it was her tone --- that flat, bored, slightly annoyed tone-- even more than her reticence that made me think otherwise.

My roommate and I double-dated two friends, and they used to come over on the same night to see us; we would break up into pairs and go do things like see a movie or whatever. My girlfriend and I would often come home and have to end up waiting in the car in the driveway - her friend was loud loud loud (and she and my roommate would often shag in the living room for some reason). Good times.

I hear what you're saying, but my child is currently 24 and that hasn't been a factor for quite a while. I'm just lousy at relationships, apparently.

To be fair, it's totally possible that his neighbors (and mine) have a more extensive period of activity before the [louder vocalizing/huffing and puffing] starts.

Fair enough; but given the video's evidence of only a *single* 2-3 minutes of the vocal/panting stage, followed by an instant leap directly from (male only?) orgasm to shower stall with a total lack of post-coital lingering - and I've skimmed some of the other videos and that pattern seems to hold...it isn't really indicative of the sort of depth of intimacy and communication that leads to extended foreplay, n'est-ce pas?

So in the balloon video, the neighbors still seem to be going at it at 1:44. At 1:48, the shower switches on.

Is the neighbor lady having sex with Rick Santorum? Literally as soon as he's done he's like "OH GOD JESUS IS ANGRY AT ME I NEED TO WATCH THE SIN OFF." and vaulting into the shower? Just how close is the shower to the bed? Are they actually having sex in the shower stall and when he's done he just reaches up and turns on the water?

When I was in my last semester of college, I moved into a shitty apartment in the East Village which happened to have some astounding Rear Window views. My roommate was also, like, best friends with Ben Curtis (the Dell Dude) and there was a moment one night early in our stay there when we were heading up to the place one Spring evening with some six-packs. Ben and I were first up to the place, while Rob was dealing with a purchase or something, and the apartment was totally dark when we walked in, but we heard... things. Through our open window.

Ben and I silently walked over to the window to see, not ten yards from us, some extremely graphic displays from our hot neighbor across the back alley. As we're gaping at this, Rob comes in, and we gesture him over, doing what we thought was our part to make it clear that we were being quiet. About two seconds later, Rob shouts out a bellowing, "Oh, fuck, she's going down on him!" The blinds remained forever closed after that.

Have similar issue, but not later evening, late afternoon, downstairs neighbour. Had a "teachable moment" with my son about it. Awkward. He found it hilarious (he's 11) and bellowed "They're always doing that!" Not sure if they heard but it didn't change anything.

It caused quite the conversation stopper at dinner with a guest recently, in fact.
Luckily said guest was a close friend with a sense of humour, First she just raised an eyebrow, and then, a few minutes later when it was over, said, disapprovingly, "that's it?!"

One moonless night my ex-roommate and I brought some girls home after the bar, and he and one of the girls head inside to get us all drinks on the porch. The bedroom light pops on, giving us front row seats hidden by the late hour. We're both rooting them on as they are stripping down and they start going at it… Suddenly we both realize he still has his LONG BLACK SOCKS on (this is the middle of summer) and nothing else. We berated his "sock" technique until he was quite finished with her, but of course they couldn't hear us.

And he never figured out why we started calling him "Sox" after that night.

My neighbours, above, were both loud
They neighed and they barked and meowed
My ceiling would thunder
And I would sit under
All horny and jealous and cowed.

(Ah, memories!)

Screamer in his bed
Resonates through my old house

Fucking noisy prick.

Time was, I neighbor’d by a noisy screamer;
I saw her not, but in the dark I’d dream her
In visions seen by me and my Redeemer
And none beside; which passing grew extremer.

Soon I envision’d her, her eye agleam, her
Body’s sweat subliming into steam, her
Fulsome breasts both cover’d with whipp’d cream, her
Muscles, toned by some workout regime, were

Being lick’d by a full wrestling team, were
Tensing for an orgasm supreme - her
Nightly trysts, to explicate my theme, were
In my mind, far more than they might seem for

Those who, there in truth, saw but her glower
When they hopp’d off her and went to take a shower.

Me and the wife, camping.

"I can't stand it."
"What?"
"In the next tent over. They're having sex."
"Really?"
"Look."

I look over, and while I can't hear anything, I distinctly see a head rhythmically bulging against the tent wall.

"Awesome!"
"Shut up, they'll hear you."

I look at my wife.

"No," she says.
"What?"
"I know what you're thinking. No. We're not having tent sex."
"Not ever?"
"I didn't say 'ever.' We're just not having sympathetic tent sex with the neighbors."

This is not a good idea when you have long, absorbent hair and a pre-sexy time shower means putting a drippy wet, cold sponge into the bed.

Or if your partner prefers the smell of human body to soap and detergent.

i once lived next door to an orange

PT, I just laughed so hard that I started to get dizzy. Congrabulations, you are officially... dangerously funny.

Damn, I wish I was a limmericker.

All I can relay is a Army roommate who brought a young lady home late in the evening. She was too close to one of those flimsy metal wall lockers and their position involved her head hitting on the metal with each, um, thrust. Add to that that she was a LOUD moaner AND that it went on longer than anyone would hope.

Ooooh - BANG - ooooooh - BANG, etc.,

File under neighbor sex.

one time as a single guy in DC i was on the roof of an apartment having a drink with a girl I just met and was just getting to know, I was post-split up with a long term college girlfriend and pretty fried and awkward because of this.

While we talked, behind her head I was distracted to see a bare ass pumping and pumping into something, she sensed this and we both turned around to realise that we were looking straight into the open window of a 5th floor hotel room on Connecticut Ave. And a guy going AT it doggy style. When he finished, the person on the bottom jumped up.... and put on his white t shirt.

Now I would laugh, but at the time, it was tough getting the mood out of stilted awkwardness. Two midwesterners on a roof, G&Ts in hand, and hardcore buttsex as a conversation starter.

Some balloons would have come in handy

I am moving next week because my neighbor has very loud sex and my walls are extremely thin. Seriously. Actually, it might not be the walls as much as her boyfriend's voice that resonates with the walls and therefore, no matter what kind of noise I try to put on to cover it up, I still hear his moaning over everything. Last weekend they were going at it and I was flipping through Netflix streaming to see what I could put on to drown the noise out. "Psycho" (the Gus Van Sant version) was available, so I put that on full volume. I know they had to have heard it, but they still kept going for another 45 minutes.

I was hoping she'd move out when her lease was up, but alas, she re-signed. I loved my apartment before she moved in a year ago, but for my sanity I have to leave. Sigh.

David Copperfield and Claudia Schiffer woke me up one night having sex. True story.

I was staying at the Doubletree in St Louis, and was awakened around 3 am by the sound of noisy sex from the room next door. I thought it was just some random sex until the next morning when the bellman was taking my luggage downstairs and mentioned that David and Claudia were in the room next to mine. (David had a show the previous evening... guess they got in around 3...)

and covered the floor
Some cleaning tips, green Internet forum?

My roommate and his girlfriend weren't too awful with the moaning... there was a little, but they were hardly loud, despite the thin walls of my apartment. His mattress, however, was a squeaky fucker.

Time whip out my own old "orange limerick".

There once was a very green orange,
Nothing rhymes with orange.
So I ended this poem,
and it flew off to Rome,
And when it came back it was orange.

So now I'm depressed because I've never seen a neighbour having sex. Can't even remember if I've heard a neighbour having sex either. But on the bright side, I can only surmise that the reason for this is because the sex I do is so comprehensively amazing that they figure it's enough for all of us. Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's it. Plus with my sexin' it can be done in an ad break, then it's back to MasterChef, so it's really the complete package.

Aw, shit, you guys were limericking and no one told me?

One year I lived next to a shouter
Who liked to get down with his router.
But he slipped with the blade
and his "plank "wound up flayed.
(I won't blame you for being a doubter).

My neighbor, an elderly maoner,
had a boyfriend who'd frequently bone her.
Till the beast with two backs
had two heart attacks.
Now I've never felt more aloner.
