Afraid of sex noises?

I'm afraid to hear people having sex. When I hear, "thump thump thump", or any moans through a wall, I start to feel like crying or throwing up. I'll feel grossed out, and I have no idea how other people react to this. I can watch porn with ease, but in real life, I can't stand hearing people doing it. I had neighbors who were into having sex every weekend. I don't know why these noises comes off as super scary. I don't want this problem to affect me in the future... I want to know if I'm the only one afraid of this. I can't be the only one. What can I do about my fear? I feel so disgusted whenever I hear it. If I have to live with this fear, it's fine... But I will always feel like throwing up, running away from the noise, curling into a little ball and cry. The sounds are so scary, but I don't know why! Is this normal?

  • Are you sure this only dates back to the noisy neighbours? Such an extreme reaction is more likely to be from some trauma way back so maybe you need to look at that possibility.

  • If you think sex noises are scary you should see my sex face. I think my orgasm face is the same face I'd make if I was strangling someone or bludgeoning them to death.

  • Next time knock on the wall and ask them if you can come and join them? They either will invite you to a superb threesome or tone it down, either way its a "win / win" situation.

  • Call the your apartment manager and place a complaint about the noise. I think Ellenna's idea about past trauma relating to sex is a valid suggestion. I also think think you have the right to even call the police on a noise complaint. When people live in very close proximity to their neighbors as in an apartment or condominium any kind of loud noise pollution can make one feel a loss of serenity as it tramples all over the expected boundaries. You have a right to not want be disturbed whether it's by your neighbor's crappy music or other more personal noises. I imagine one might feel trapped between not wanting to make enemies by placing a complaint and the longing for peace and quiet.

    My favorite neighbors are quiet ones who keep to themselves. Good fences make good neighbors.

  • So, it's only sex noises where you can't see what's going on eh? Try putting porn on in a different room, turning up the sound, and seeing if you have the same reaction.

    If you do have the same reaction - use porn to desensitise yourself.

    If you don't have the same reaction - move to a different bridge.

  • Your troll has just a bit too much drama to it. I'll admit you had me going with this piece skunk crap. But the neighbors who were into having sex every weekend meant that it was time for me to bail on this. What the fuck is so unusual about neighbors having sex? On weekends or any fucking day of the week? And curling into a ball and crying? This troll of yours sucks major cock.
