Awkward Sounds
Posted: 02 Aug 2023 16:53
I had not thought of listening to sex sounds as something erotic or even heard any until after I’d finished college. Never heard my parents having sex when I grew up.
The first memory I have of the issue ever bring mentioned was the lamentation of a friend whose crush hadthe room right next his in an old victorian house converted to student housing. Thin walks, cheap creaky beds and she had a lot of vocal sex with two boyfriends that year. He was quite distraught hearing this over and over. I felt bad for him. She was quite pretty. But I never thought about how I would have felt hearing her getting plowed just the other side of that wall by my bed.
Some years later friends lived in an apartment with a real screamer the next building over. Come summer all the windows would be open and a bunch of us would be there and suddenly she’d start going. We’d hear yelps, wails.., you couldn’t tell if she was being railed or murdered. We’d try to ignore her, tried not to smile, or cringe, but she was over the top. You’d hear nothing for a few minutes and then a scream. Or a succession of wails then silence again. But when she was close, it was always the same: “Fuck! Fuck! Fuuuuuck me!” Then her shrieking climax.
Then I had an apartment in grad school. The guy in the unit below me had his bedroom right under mine, each floor had the same layout. He was in his 30s, maybe 10 years older than me then, decent looking and pleasant, but clearly socially awkward. In retrospect I think he must have had Asperger’s or in some way been on the spectrum. He had an assistant or social worker come by a couple times a week.
Don’t think he ever had a girlfriend, or got any sex that I knew of but he did like to masturbate. I know this because he was not at all shy about it, in the audio sense. His bed was noisy and he’d moan as he’d really got into it. First time I heard him in action I thought he was getting laid and I was happy for him… then I realized he seemed to be the only one there. He wasn’t having sex IN his bed, he was having sex WITH his bed. Or his pillow, or the bunched-up blankets, with considerable enthusiasm. He’d get going pretty good, then slow down or stop, then start up again. Usually go for 15 minutes up to half an hour. Man did know what he was doing.
I caught these interludes two, three times a month. Sure he did it more, i was just usually not at home at night before midnight and his bed got boffed between 10:00-12:00 best as I could figure it, probably just before he’d go to sleep. OK, so he was a bit noisy about it. Wasn’t hurting anyone. And hardly for me to be judging, I’d certainly done the same, and enjoyed the hell out of it. I was just more… discrete.
He’d invariably speed up when he was getting close, and really be giving a pounding to whatever was under him and and damn but suddenly he’d actually squeal (sometimes, probably crying out into his pillow) or just start moaning loudly over & over, his steady rhythmic pumping would stop and he’d be thrusting jerkily, unsteady, hard slow jabs, it seemed, as he orgasmed.
I was at home in my bed taking care of myself in the more conventional manner one evening when he, too, started in. I slowed down and listened to the familiar sounds as he worked himself up, sped up as I could hear him approaching his goal and I matched my strokes to the pace of his thrusting and we soon reached our separate climaxes together.
