I’m not making it news, I just need people’s advice how to handle this situation. Due to the nature of this problem, if you want to make joke, please go away as I’m serious. If you offer help, much appreciated.

I’m living in a house, the next house’s window opens to our windows very closely. I saw a man and woman entering and leaving that house, not sure how many people living in, but there are no kids or old people. Last weekend in the evening, the noise from their bedroom was so loud that we can clearly hear from our living room while watching TV, a woman’s heavy breathing and moaning, lasting about 5 minutes then became deadly quiet. This is disgusting, polluting and damaging! This happened a few times before, but this time was very loud and clear maybe because we all open windows in the hot summer. I can not let it happen again as it really hurts us. Try to imagine while a family with old people and kids watching TV, and suddenly broadcasting porn.

I do respect people’s privacy but I am also entitled for a clean living environment. I need advice, which is legal, effective, and not hurting them. Probably a reminder, but who can send the reminder ?

thank you in advance.

This is pure gold, but umm, and same goes to OP, where exactly are you living that this happens? I know new suburbs are ridic close together but I did not think that close.

I can’t comment on this example, but I once lived in one of four flats. My kitchen window was next to the neighbours’ bedroom window. Sounds of the bedroom were difficult to miss. The windows shared the same wall.

Maybe the OP should take a listen to this song…

We had the exact same problem when living in a rental … so much verbalising, that one night I shouted out at their bedroom windows “oh hurry up Brad – make her pop – we’re all trying to get to sleep”

That seemed to have done the trick.

She’s clearly not reading the-riotact.. Wouldn’t last 5 minutes these days.

Hopefully they will get married soon. That will put a stop to it.

Hear hear.

A man of the world speaks.

Hopefully they will get married soon. That will put a stop to it.

he’s not the messiah, he’s just a naughty boy…

Close the window.

hm hmm as you close the window. I’m sure your ears won’t start bleeding.

And rightly so, too.

5 minutes? Must have done a fair ammount of foreplay… AND done it twice…

Play TISM’s “Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me” loudly.

Well I for one welcome our new shitposting overlords.

Tell ém to put a sock in it or perhaps something more appropriate 🙂

Record it, dub in some farmyard noises, and add a porn movie theme tune.

Then play it back once to them at high volume.

I agree, but with some Tom Jones “Help Yourself” trumpet thrown in.

If they are essentially sharing their experience with you then you should be able to partake in their experience with any meansthat your voyeuristic intentions see fit.

If they stop and ask what you are doing, just gently bite the back of their ear and say, “Shhh…it’s just how i do my thing, just be quiet and go along with it..(quietly slips into pair of furry ugg-boots and put’s on a russian hat) …mmmmmmmm, (Breathes heavy) no no NO, dont look at me, look at him”.

All while Tom Jones is singing:

“Just help yourself to my lips
To my arms just say the word, and they are yours
Just help yourself to the love,
In my heart your smile has opened up the door”

If they freaked out and have stopped doing love-stuff by this stage and are cautiously staring at you, then just keep going at the speed of a thousand startled gazelles whilst smiling and keep eye contact the whole time as it will make them feel really awkward and uncomfortable. At this point go even harder, throw your hands in the air and make some noise.

When they finally ask what is wrong with you, you should whisper/sing quietly in a psuedo-erotic tone:

Everybody needs good neighbours, with a little understanding…………

By the end of all this they (one or both) should either be sexually terrified of you and will keep the noise to a minimum in the future or it will open the floodgates to overly-neighbourly relationships.

Either way is a winner.

I agree. Given that this article is one of the very few new ones since JB announced his leaving and that it’s probably the most interesting one on the site (not a compliment), I can’t see the point of RA anymore. Unless something changes soon, my subscription will sadly lapse…

Clearly the people whinging about this thread are jealous of the 5 minute marathon.

Brush aside the cobwebs and go and get yourselves some…

Any person who is sexually active and still enjoys sex with his/her partner will confirm that all the heavy “moaning and loud screaming”, usually, is when it is last minutes of hardcore action, when both are going hard at it. Prior to that the noises are more subtle.

What makes some think that sex lasts 5 mins (moaning and screaming)-beats me. I do understand that many regulars here can’t even remember when was the last time they had proper sex with another human being (if ever). The OP’s neighbours are probably having an hour or two session, prolonging the pleasure, making them both cum a lot harder.

Leave them a scorecard in their mail or front door, perhaps detailing why they scored more or less than their previous effort.

5 minutes? What a stayer!

Agree, why was this approved, this article is a blatantly obvious troll attempt, what gives RA?

Oh no, the free service that I access no longer meets my expectation. I am outraged.

No sex please, we’re British.

Thank you for advancing me the thankyou in advance. This thankyou is in advance of giving you a relevant reply. Can you advance RIOTACT any money?

Maybe knock on the door and ask if you can join in? Seems like you need to get some.

Alternatively, if the common sense police visit you, you could always close your windows for 5 mins and turn up the tv..

Rocking Chair, Porch, and away you go…

Agree with curlylocks. state succinctly what they are doing (tactfully), how it affects your family, and ask them to change by closing the window prior, etc.

Remember, they probably don’t realise that they are causing this disturbance, and it it probably will be just as awkward when then find out that they are causing this disturbance.

What about when the possums go at it? Does that upset you too?

Lol, how precious are you??? Firstly it doesn’t sound like there is swearing or anything vulgar. Secondly, it’s 5 minutes you loser. If you want problems live in a place where they play booming music all night or something. Or people who practice some sort of 3 hour long tantric sex session. Jesus.

If you can’t stand some neighbourly noise, try buying a place that /isn’t/ right on top of someone else or that has sound insulation and AC so you don’t need the windows open.

FFS use your head.

Use of “disgusting”, “damaging” and “really hurts us” is pathetic. If you want to be the morality police, go and talk to them about it genius.

Next time it happens, cheer them on or offer suggestions back at them out of your windows. Or try timing them and tell them that you could do much better than 5 mins. They might get the point and keep the noise down. Or you could just turn up your tv.

Pop a note in the letterbox. And turn your television up.
