Is it weird that I get aroused while listening to my parents making love?

I should have added that he tended not to close the bedroom door properly, allowing it to spring open a few inches. So, with my door open a bit I could clearly hear without leaving my bed. Timing was quite predictable too (allowing me to get into a "routine" so to speak), around 11pm mid week and 8am weekends (usually Sunday).

While I don't remember my parents having a specific night of the week that was "sex night", per se, I can definitely relate to the routine part. Even as a kid, I recognized the subtle changes in my parents behavior when it was going to be a sex night, even anticipating and looking out for the signs. Like another commenter said, I would then excuse myself to bed early, but not because it made me anxious or uncomfortable, rather I just wanted my parents to believe I was safely sound asleep before getting it on. I don't think my dad was bothered either way, but I'm sure my mom was self-conscious about it, at least to start off. I would hear them kissing, then a loud wince from my mom and sometimes she would tell dad "not so hard" or "just go slow". The bed started squeaking and mom's breathing grew heavy, with muffled moans and whimpers like she was trying to keep her mouth closed to stifle her sounds. Dad quickly worked into a rhythm and soon it became all too much for mom, letting out a loud gasp of "oh f**k!" as my parents bed started knocking up against the wall. This was typically the point where it became too much for my adolescent body also, busting a nut all over myself. Yet thankfully, being only 15, I was quickly ready to go again ;-)

Is it weird that I'm getting turned on reading these comments? Lol

They always had the clock radio on and when he tuned it and the lights off that was my signal to cup my ear to the wall and listen in (in hindsight I am so glad they never thought to leave the radio on). I already had a full erection in anticipation by then which I would with regardless of the outcome. If I heard them saying good night that meant no date tonight. If there was no good night then "our" date was "on" and my heart pounded in delicious anticipation. The foreplay was mostly inaudible but then I would hear the bed making the occasional squeak. The squeaking became more rhythmical and was soon accompanied by the occasional knock as the padded headboard bumped against the wall. This changed to a regular rhythmical tap as he built towards the inevitable. She would respond with a pleasurable sounding uh or ah or yes. Less vocal than him, I think she did orgasm as it sounded like she was enjoying herself but I am not 100% sure of that. THE moment I had excitedly anticipated since the last time now arrived and for the duration of his climax (and mine) he excitedly called her name and other affections ("darling" being his favourite) in an almost falsetto voice. The excitement inevitably died away to heavy breathing and then silence. Until the next time.... SHUT MY EARS TO THAT? NO WAY! Those "dates" (which were totally my secret of course) were the most intensely erotic experiences of my younger years.

Oops typo - add "deal" before with as in "which I would deal with regardless".

Hearing my parents having sex was my introduction to the carnal pleasures of both voyeurism and masturbation growing up. Even now, as a parent myself, I still think upon those memories with fondness from time to time and can't help rubbing one out. I was probably 10 the first time I can remember hearing them and knowing what the sounds were. Friday night was sex night for my parents and movie night for me. My mom would take me to the video store after school and get me something to watch. Then straight after dinner, dad popped the movie on for me while my mom went upstairs to have her shower. "Your mother and I are just going upstairs to have our showers now, you'll be right to look after yourself for a bit?" I just murmured an "mmhmm" and kept my eyes firmly fixed on the TV, pretending to be suitably distracted by whatever it was I were watching and oblivious to what my parents were doing. My dad then went upstairs and I heard the bedroom door close and the latch slide across. My heart would be racing and I immediately sneaked upstairs to my listening post outside their bedroom door before they got out the shower. I could hear my parents kissing and whispering in the shower, sometimes a giggle from mom, then they turned off the water and dad took my mom straight to bed. More kissing and whispering ensued before a loud gasp escaped mom's lips and the bed started squeaking. My dad continued kissing and whispering to my mom and softly shushing her as he worked into a rhythm and soon the bed would be squeaking heavily and knocking up against the wall as mom's moaning and whimpering turned to desperate gasing and yelping, struggling to absorb the strokes and not get too loud. This probably went on for a good 30 to 45 minutes before culminating in loud grunting and groaning from my dad and high pitched muffled squealing from mom. Though rarely could I ever last even half that time before blowing my load all in the pair of mom's panties I had wrapped around my throbbing hard shaft.

Despite how creepy some of the posts here actually are, I’d like to know if any of you can put my mind at rest. I too used to listen in on my mum and step dad when I was a teen. I’d convinced myself it was ok, because it wasn’t my mum and actual dad. And it wasn’t the thought, it was just the sound of sex that did it for me. I’m the same today, don’t need to see it, just hear it. But because of this I’m all too aware that my newly turned 13 year old DD may very well be purposely staying up late to listen in....to the point it’s completly putting me off and is putting a strain on her father’s and my relationship. Just the thought of our baby girl getting off to the sound is quite disturbing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely understanding of her sexual needs, and know she’s been masurbating for some time....but still!! Why do I have such a big problem with it when I used to do it myself!?!

So, although you have no proof of it, you are freaked out that your daughter MAY be listening in on your love making because that is what you did at her age and it excited and turned you on (I assume she is the only sexually aware child in your household). Interesting angle - are her opportunities to hear you and your husband similar to what yours were (i.e. next door bed room). Are you loud? Do you use audible sex toys? Also, do you have a sex "routine" she may have clued into? All this adds to the opportunity mix, believe me I have been there. It seems from your post however that your emotions are utterly mixed up by a continued attraction to "Auralism" (enjoyment and arousal from listening to others having sex): You say that you still get aroused if you hear couples having sex ("I'm the same today") and (correct me if I misinterpreted) would also pleasure yourself willingly to the sound (otherwise what's the point of being aroused!). Yet, you are totally freaked out at the thought of the tables being reversed with your daughter in the "listening" role that would absolutely turn you on if you were her.
I am guessing that your husband is unaware of any of this so my suggestion is to say to him that because she is now sexually aware, making love when your daughter is at home makes you uncomfortable, without of course revealing the true secret reason behind it. Even if you did get "proof" that she has been listening in, I suggest not confronting her but adjusting your behaviour to deny her the chance. Make love when she is out or at school or with friends and activities (my parents enrolled me and my sister in Sunday school I suspect more for their own benefit than our spiritual wellbeing). If she is into sports, leave her at the game from time to time with an excuse that you need to run some "errands". Go back home, make passionate love and return to fetch her. etc. etc.

My mums room was down the hall from my room, but I'd listen on the landing. My daughters room is next to mine but she's recently insisted in sleeping on the futon which lays across the wall that backs onto my room. She has vocal tics and I've heard on a few occasions on the landing outside my room, and when we're downstairs I've heard her get out of bed and back in etc. I wouldn't say I was loud but I suppose when I'm caught up in the moment and about to reach climax I'm not exactly mute either. The bed isn't exactly quiet and the 'slapping' noises are not always preventable either. I only use toys alone and when they're not around so that isn't an issue. My husband works whenever they're not around so the night is our only chance. We don't have a routine, it's just as the mood takes us, and when the girls were 'asleep'. Our youngest aged 7 knows about sex and the biology of it, as I discovered I'd left it too late to discuss with my older girl and didn't want to make the same mistake. Yes, if Auralism is an actual thing, then thats what I have. I don't need to watch a porn to pleasure myself, I just need to hear it. And if my daughters the same, who am I to judge? I have no issue in it what so ever. I would willingly record and send her an audio of a porn if I thought it would stop her listening to me, but going back to my 13 year old self I don't think that would have stopped me....think I might just need counselling

Oh and my husband knows I don’t like the thought of her hearing us. He’s aware of my liking to listen to others, but doesn’t know I used to listen to my mum n co. Don’t think he needs to know that either lol; so yes, my secret. From anyone who actually knows me!

From your descriptions the evidence suggests that she has probably heard you already (using the futon for no apparent reason is the big giveaway). This really bothers you but from your postings your husband does not seem to have an opinion on this. Really? By listening in just once, your girl will have experienced the forbidden fruit of real time sex and because she likes what she hears she will continue to do so whenever she can, just as you did. After all we all like doing things we enjoy over again even if it is highly taboo and there are risks involved. The porn audio is a very bad idea so please do not go there (it is also probably illegal at her age). It may also encourage her to visit actual porn websites and that would be a minefield at her age (remember kids can and do find their way around computer parental controls - you do have them I assume as you hint that you visit those sites yourself for your own pleasure). It's you and your husband's lovemaking "in the moment" that excites her and that is what she wants to hear, not some anonymous porno sex recording. As to how to deal with it, that is where it becomes tricky. You need to tread carefully as confrontation could be a disaster for you all. To that end your counselling option is probably a good start, at least to get ideas on how to deal with it, but if this is done with your husband, your little teenage secret may have to be aired to him if 100% true honesty is required. Are you prepared for that? Otherwise, getting rid of the futon could give her a not to subtle signal that you know what she is up to but I doubt she'll back off more than temporarily as she enjoys listening to and is addicted to what you do too much. Alternatively, switch up your routine. Ditch your night time loving sessions and try early morning sex. Most people have a radio on before they get up, so try that to mask yourselves. One of those light classical stations would do. You might surprise yourself, morning sex is a very refreshing way to start the day and teenagers are notorious for sleeping in.

Hi, not wanting to sound like a pervert, but is it possible that a part of you is actually turned on by having an audience and that's the real reason you are so conflicted about this? Voyeurism and exhibitionism often go hand in hand, so I just thought I'd put that out there. Please forgive me if I'm wrong :/

The porn audio was an idea of how desperate I was, I'd never actually do it, she'd be mortified lol. I found that she'd been going through my 'top drawer' about 18 months ago, so I bought a lockable case for my things and bought one solo toy she could take and use freely without me having to confront her. It's hers (but she doesn't know it). I've no idea if she uses it and couldn't care less if she does, suppose what I'm getting at is, I 'get it'. I get every aspect of it. Her listening in to me though is just a complete turn off for me. As it would be if anyone was listening in for that matter. and I think its getting to me so much because I know how very real it is. I don't think telling my husband about my mum would help any...he knows I like to listen to others and knows I used to listen to my dads lodgers when I was young and he gets it 100%, I don't see how mentioning my mum n co would make any difference in that way. We've tried early morning, it takes me sooo long for me to to come around, and then theres always the chance my 7 year old wants our attention (she can wake up for the day anywhere around 4:30) or as soon as she hears the slightest noise from our room. When I say he understands where I'm coming from with my eldest listening in, his attitude is always, 'so what if she can hear us'....
Ooh whoever made that last comment actually might have a point! (Now I've googled the words lol) My husband when we first met loved the whole public scene, in the park, down by the lake etc. That might be why he's more laid back about our eldest listening in...although I do still find that a bit disturbing, its understandable.
Although my eldest has always had parental controls, at the age of 11 she typed 'sex' onto Google images. When I discovered this, I was mortified at what she'd actually seen so tried to have a conversation about the sex industry and how these people were paid to take these kind of photo's. She was completely shut down and wouldn't even look at me. She's since discovered ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** posting of web addresses is not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use​ (I think through an old bookmark of mine if I'm honest), and again I upped the parental controls and restricted the site. Didn't do it to be mean, did it because she isn't mature enough to understand the nature of that kind of content, and I explained that to her and she appeared to have understood. She cannot delete her internet browser so she know whatever site she goes on, it'll be logged in the history page. Unless theres a porn app she can download, I'm pretty sure she isn't seeing anything she shouldn't.

I remember one Saturday night when I was about 12 years old. I knew my mother wanted to have sex and she was anxiously waiting for me to go to bed (kids pick up on stuff like that). It made me uncomfortable, so I pretended I was really tired and went to bed early that night. About 10 minutes after I went to bed, I heard my mother ask my father if he wanted her to have her shower now. My mother always had a shower before sex. After she had her shower, she came out and got my father and they went to bed together. As they were passing my door - my mother in front and my father behind her - my father peeked into my room to see if I were asleep. Not sure why, but I said something, to which my father rather heatedly replied "you're supposed to be asleep, go back to sleep". My mother then said "did you hear something? I thought I could hear you talking to someone?" (She had had a few wines that night). My father quickly brushed it off and said he was just talking to himself. They then went into their room and closed and locked the bedroom door. Nothing separated our two beds but a thin wall, so I could hear everything (and yes, I got aroused by the sounds). They had sex for maybe 15 to 20 minutes, after which my father jokingly quipped "well at least John can get some sleep now". Well that went over like a lead balloon and my mother immediately started stressing out that I had just heard them having sex. Worse was yet to come, however. The next day, they both confronted me asking if I had heard any noises coming from their room the night before. I said yes and told them what I had heard. My mother was mortified. I tried to ease the tension by smiling and saying "I don't mind". Their shock turned to disbelief. I then changed my answer to a more dismissive "I don't care". My father said "that's not what it sounded like" and my mother said "I feel sick". It was awkward to say the least. Funny thing is, rather than getting put off sex altogether, my mother started seducing my father to take her to bed before I was in bed. As soon as we finished dinner, she would be asking my father if he wanted her to have a shower. Other times, she would just go upstairs and have her shower, then come down wearing one of her skimpy little shoestring nighties and go into my father's office. I was usually watching TV in the living room or playing my Sega. Remember that old thing? My father would then come out to me with an excuse and him and mother would disappear upstairs for half an hour. So my mother was completely turned off having sex after I had gone to bed, but rather ironically, seemingly had no qualms about doing it whilst I were still awake and just downstairs in the living room. Go figure!

Neat idea about getting her own toy! Presumably it's a generic / vanilla vibe, not a penis shape or such (LOL). It seems like you and your husband have a problem when it comes to be hearing and being heard as you say he doesn't have an issue with your daughter listening in ("so what if she can hear us..."). Unhelpful to you to say the least. IMHO the flag here is the "the "whole public scene" you describe from your dating days (presumably meaning you had sex in places where there was a chance of being seen or heard). That was his thing, not yours. Understandably at the time you were in love so went along with it because you wanted to please him and it was also exciting and different.
Now you feel trapped as now it looks like he still harbors at least some "reverse - auralism" (?) in his emotional makeup (i.e. either enjoy or not being concerned at being seen or listened to). If you can not resolve this with him (ant it seems like you can't), please seek help, otherwise your ship may soon be on the rocks. One more thing (and I hate to bring this up, but feel I must). You also have to look to the future as soon enough your daughter will become a sexually active woman with a loving partner. What will you do in (say) 10 years time when she brings her man to stay with you and you hear them having sex. Will your old emotions well up to the surface and take back control? Appreciate you opening up your soul on this one and good luck in resolving it. And please update as you work this through.
