You know the walls are too thin when, after sex, you hear your neighbor light up.
I have a question about this conceot actually
So I grew up in terraced houses from the 1900s or earlier, stone walls. Unfortunately, i could hear my parents talking, arguing and boinking from my room - but the last one only seemed to be a thing when i was a teenager. I could also hear the old guy next door walking around, telephoning and opening drawers.
But i was lucky enough to only have single guys who lived alone either side of me the entire time. So I wonder: do most people in terraces and apartments have to hear their neighbours having sex? Is that like a normal part of childhood? Other kids seemed to know about sex before me so I figure that might be part of it.
Or did my childhood home just have bad acoustics + insulation?
Yeah, and i find that pretty fascinating. I’m in the “hearing/seeing other people have sex doesn’t bother me” camp but most people regard it as a very big deal

For most of history people didn’t have rooms.

I never really noticed, but I might have just been lucky. I heard sex in the same house, though. /shudder
People have sex. Sometimes, there are other people in the same house while that happens. Why shudder?
It was family. I don’t want to picture my brother’s or my mother’s O face.
