Girlfriend’s shrieks during sex are waking up the neighbours

Suzi Godson says that tomen who make a lot of noise during sex are, to some degree, performing to elicit and, indeed, to augment male ejaculation. 

Q. My girlfriend is so noisy in bed that she wakes our neighbours. I feel embarrassed because they have mentioned it, but I don’t want to make her self-conscious or curtail her fun.

A. The first thing you should do is pacify the people next door. Having a conversation with them, however awkward, will also add weight to the conversation that you need to have with your girlfriend.
