15 Easy Ways to Have Silent Sex

Genius hacks for when you need to be quiet

Anyone who’s ever had roommates or kids knows the importance of being quiet when you’re trying to be intimate.

Unfortunately, noise pollution is a real thing, and it can be a major source of stress for your neighbors. Or guests. So how can you have great sex without disturbing the peace?

Here are my 15 best tips to help you keep it down when you’re getting it on.

Drop to The Floor

One of the main advantages of doing it on the floor is that it’s much quieter than doing it on the bed.

Beds creak, springs squeak, and headboards bang against the wall.

But floors? Many floors are solid, sturdy, and silent. That’s why if you’re trying to be inconspicuous or keep your noise level to a minimum, sex on the floor is definitely something to try.

Just make sure you have a soft blanket or towel to make it more comfortable.

Use a Bed Silencer

If you’re looking to make your bed a little quieter for sex, there are a few things you can do.

First, consider using a memory foam mattress — these are designed to absorb movement and reduce noise. You can also secure the springs in place by wrapping them in fabric or padding them with cushions.

Finally, placing a soft cushion like a pillow or pair of rolled-up socks between the headboard and the wall will help to mute any creaks or bangs.

With a little bit of effort, you can make your bed much quieter — and enjoy some blissful, uninterrupted intimacy with your partner.

Have Slow-Mo Sex

When you take things slow, there’s less friction and banging around, which means less noise.

And since orgasms tend to be more intense when they’re built up slowly, you might find that you don’t even miss the noise. Instead, you’ll be focused on enjoying every minute of the experience.

Plus, speaking from experience, slow sex is great practice for self-control.

Gag the Loud One (You Know the One)

A ball gag is a type of bondage equipment specifically designed to muffle noise.

It consists of a ball, usually made of rubber or silicone, which is attached to a strap that goes around your head. The ball is placed in your mouth and held in place by your teeth.

The straps are usually adjustable so that they can be tightened or loosened as needed.

Ball gags are often used in BDSM scenes as a way to limit communication and create a power dynamic between the person who is gagged and the person who is doing the binding.

But ball gags also make sex quieter.

When one partner is wearing a gag, it can be difficult (or even impossible) to talk, moan, or scream during sex. This can be beneficial for people who live in close quarters with others (such as roommates or family members) and don’t want to be overheard.

It can also be helpful for people who want to experience a different kind of sexual dynamic. Many people find that being restricted in their speech can heighten other senses, such as touch and smell, which can lead to a more intense sexual experience.

Ball gags are also relatively inexpensive and easy to find.

If you’re not ready to invest in a ball gag, you can also make your own using a sock or a bandana. Simply tie the bandana around your head and over your mouth.

This will prevent the gagged partner from making any noise, but it’s important to be careful not to choke your partner or yourself.

Speedrun Sex

The longer you spend Having Sex, the more likely you are to get noisy.

That’s because as you get closer and closer to orgasm, your breathing and heart rate increase, which makes it difficult to stay quiet.

And finally, the longer you spend having sex, the more likely you are to change positions.

All that movement can create a lot of noise. So if you want to stay quiet during sex, the best thing to do is keep it short and sweet.

Quicker sex is often quieter sex.

Get Freaky in a Quieter Room

One of the easiest things to do is to have sex in a room that is naturally insulated from sound. This could be a room with thick walls or a room that is farther away from other people.

A quieter room uses softer materials for furniture.

Instead of creaking metal or hollow wood, opt for thicker carpets, fluffy blankets, and plump pillows. These materials will help to absorb sound and create a more peaceful environment.

Have Wet Sex

Let’s be honest, sex can be a bit messy.

There’s the sweat, the bodies intertwining, and let’s not forget about any, ahem, fluids that might be exchanged. But what if there were a way to enjoy all the benefits of sex without any of the mess?

That’s where shower sex comes in.

For starters, shower sex is much quieter than sex almost anywhere else in the house. If you have nosy roommates or live in a small apartment, shower sex is one way to go.

There’s no need to worry about anyone hearing you when the water is running.

Another benefit of shower sex is that it’s much easier to clean up afterward. No more worrying about stains on the sheets or having to do a load of laundry right after sex.

All you need to do is hop in the shower and you’re good to go.

Finally, there’s no need to worry about any lingering smells with shower sex. Again, any evidence of your activities will be washed away with soap and water.

Play That Funky Music

Have quieter sex by using other noises to cover up the sounds you make.

One way to do this is to play music with a heavy beat. Not only will this help to cover up any moans and grunts, but it can also help to get you in the mood.

If you’re worried about being too loud, try starting off with a slower song and then working your way up to something with a quicker tempo. Alternatively, you could try playing white noise in the background.

The key is to find something that’s loud enough to cover up any sounds you make, but not so loud that it drowns out all other noise.

Whatever method you choose, make sure that it is effective in masking the sounds of sex. Otherwise, you may end up drawing more attention to yourself than you would like.

Put Your Partner in Your Mouth

If you’re looking for a way to have quieter sex, oral sex is a good option.

There are a few reasons for this — first, because oral sex doesn’t involve any thrusting or movement, it’s much less likely to make noise. Second, because you’re not actually moving around as much, you’re less likely to bang into things and make noise that way.

And third, because you’re not using your hands to hold on to each other or anything else, there’s less chance of your bodies slamming together and making noise.

Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule.

If you’re particularly loud when you orgasm, or if your partner is particularly aggressive when they eat you out, then oral sex might not be the best option for you.

Freeze Tag Sex

One of the biggest culprits of noise during sex is movement.

The more you move, the more likely you are to create nuisance sounds like beds creaking or bodies slapping together. To reduce movement, try focusing on rocking or grinding instead of thrusting.

This will help to minimize bed noise and keep your body from making too much contact.

Another way to reduce noise is to focus on using less pressure. While hard and fast movements may feel good at the moment, they are more likely to create louder noises. Instead, try using light pressure and less forceful movements.

Use These Silent Sex Positions

There are plenty of positions that are much quieter than others, so you can still get your fix without disturbing the peace.

Here are some quieter sex positions:

• 69
• Girl on top
• Sideways sex
• Scissoring
• Spooning
• Lotus

Yoga Sex

One of the simplest ways to reduce noise during sex is to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth.

Mouth breathing is often louder than nose breathing, so making the switch can help you keep things quiet. In addition, try to exhale slowly and evenly; rapid, choppy breathing will usually result in more noise.

If you find yourself getting short of breath, take a break and focus on deep belly breathing for a few moments.

Mime Your Sex

This may seem obvious, but it’s worth mentioning.

When you’re vocal during sex, it can be difficult to keep things quiet. So, if you’re someone who likes to be very vocal during sex, limiting the amount of talking may be a good idea.

There are a few different ways to do this.

Instead of talking, use non-verbal communication. This can be anything from hand gestures to touch. This way, you can still communicate with your partner without making too much noise.

Perfect Silent Sex Time

Consider the time of day.

Late at night or early in the morning are generally the best times for quiet sex, as everyone is likely to be asleep. Midday can also work, particularly if you know your neighbors are out of the house or at work.

Another option is during a storm, as the sound of the rain or thunder can help to muffle any noise you might make.

Soundproof Your Sex

The benefits of soundproofing your sex room are numerous.

For one, it allows you to get as loud as you want without disturbing your roommates, family, or neighbors. But soundproofing can also help create a more intimate experience by blocking out outside noise and distractions.

Here are a few ways to soundproof your sex room:

1. Add insulation or soundproof tiles to your walls and floors. This will help block out unwanted noise and keep things nice and quiet.
2. Hang heavy curtains or blankets on the walls and floors. This will help absorb sound and keep it from echoing around the room.
3. Make sure there are no cracks or gaps in the doors or windows. These can let in unwanted noise and ruin the moment.

Final Thoughts

I like to be loud in bed but loudness isn’t always possible.

There is something erotic about restraining your screams, so you might want to give silent sex a try.

Enjoy.
