do you love it or hate it when you hear your neighbours making the beast with two backs?

a friend was texting me today telling me how furious she was about having to listen to her neighbours doing what adults in relationships often do in the evenings (all times), and i was pondering her rage and thinking to myself that it really doesn't bother me. at all, and never has.
and in fact sometimes it quite cheers me up, for which i suppose i should be grateful.

i'm not into relationships anymore. i don't have the patience or emotional robustness for all that drama and melodrama, but i like it that people who are still playing that game are having a good time.
so my reactions are either 'yay, good luck to you!'. or i find it funny. and sometimes it even turns me on, in a wierd way, but maybe i dont want to go to into that to much. other than say it happens.

so all positive feelings. but as i say, my friend was livid. threatening to contact the council and all manner of stroppiness.
i should also clarify (for the purposes of context) that my friend is single and doesn't want to be, so i secretly wonder if a little jealousy and resentment isn't in her response mix. i have my suspicions.

anyway, i think it's an amusing subject for a thread. provocative maybe. so if mods feel this theme is too 'full-on' for regular off-topic, i really don't mind if it gets relocated to 'filth' (or 'vale') or another appropriate porno-lite subsection of the forum. i'm sure there's more than one.

so does anyone have anything interesting to say on the subject? don't all shout at once.

I don't think I'd be a big fan, especially with kids in the house. It's something I've never experienced. Likewise I wouldn't care to make that much noise myself!

I went through a phase when I was at uni of seeing people shagging all the time.

Saw a guy doing a hooker over a bin down an alley.

Week later saw a girl bouncing on (I presume) some guys junk through an upstairs window (they hadn't bothered with curtains).

Then a girl who was a friend of one of my housemates was shagging some guy on my doorstep.

It didn't really bother me...

Never been a major issue with any of our neighbours.

Having arguments in the small hours just loud enough to wake you, but not loud enough to hear what they're about? That used to drive me mental. So frustrating

Never an issue for my neighbours, my wife and I shout really fucking loud.

It's not my business. It's just like a dog barking next door when the postman delivers mail.

@darthed1981 Glad to hear it; it's a public service.

Don't hear that kinda stuff, one side is a couple in their 50's, they've had 3 kids and all have moved out. The other side are a family with the couple in their late 30's. They've got 3 (noisy) kids so the only noises I hear are from them running around and slamming the front door.

Your friend wants a shag, she was hinting

Heard my neighbours at it the other day.  And believe it or not, we all finished at the same time!

Used to hear it when I was at uni and living in close proximity to bunch of horny 20year olds who are no longer living with their parents... didn't bother me then, usually gave have a shout of encouragement. 

Don't really hear it anymore.. don't reckon it would bother me overly much unless it disrupted what little sleep I get.. then I would burn their house down and salt the earth.

Living in the country... near a bridge, by a river.. our nearest neighbours are a pub/restaurant on the river and a select few houses all more than 100m away at least. 

Having said that, I have heard one of our neighbours at it in the garden, accompanied by the 1812 overture they were playing on their stereo outside really loudly.

Not what you expect on a wet windy Sunday afternoon...

we live next door to the village churchyard, so when those guys get jiggy it can be a bit unnerving.

I have spectacular neighbours. We’re all good buddies. Never heard any rumpy-pumpy from either side, but there is a good distance between houses, so wouldn’t hear anything anyway. 

Many years ago (maybe 25 years), my (at the time) girlfriend had a friend lodging with her for a few weeks. When her boyfriend came over, we could hear exactly what went on. Alas, we felt pity for her more than anything. His performance was somewhat brief, then he’d immediately fall asleep. 

She was a model, incredibly beautiful. Intimidatingly so. He was much less impressive. I often wondered how that underwhelming man managed to catch such an impress woman.

I’m lead to believe neither fitted the description.

Noise travels both ways equally. If you can hear them, any loud noises that you make will be equally audible through the walls, floors or ceilings. I suggest either strategically timed applause, laughter or a running commentary in the style of Murray Walker.

Not a problem with my neighbours, most evenings they like to take their dogs for a walk.
 I think that's what they meant anyway.

The only time I've suffered because of someone getting jiggy wid it next door was on holiday in Magaluf once.  The girl I was with woke me up in the middle of the night to say the couple next door had been at it and it had turned her on so she wanted to do it with me, except that it took her so long to wake me and they'd stopped and she didn't feel like it now.

She woke me from a lovely sleep to tell me I wasn't having sex.  What maniac does that ?
