3 WAYS TO LOWER THE NOISE WITHOUT LOSING THE FUN

So you love making sounds during sex. And why not? But sometimes it’s not appropriate to wake the neighbours. How can you be quieter when you’re bonking?

Mask the sound

Music playing allows your own noise to disappear among the melody. Or make love in the shower, where the running water will hide any moans.

Moderate the volume

Get your partner to muffle your sound by kissing you. Bite a pillow or cushion. Scream into the mattress. Use a sex gag that fits safely into your mouth – lovehoney. co.uk has some raunchy ones.

Make it a game

If you like being controlled, let your partner put his hand over your mouth. But he should never block your nose, too – agree a ‘safe sign’ to signal if you need him to stop.
