How to Have Sex On the Sly

There’s nothing more exciting than when you start dating someone new. He’s handsome, funny and you can’t keep your hands off each other. If you have your own apartment or house, it’s no problem inviting him over for a nightcap and some naughty sex play. But what happens if you share an apartment with a roommate or, even worse, still live at home with your parents? Instead of enjoying your newfound romance, you’ll be worried about keeping your sexcapades on the down low. So, how do you maintain a healthy, fulfilling sex life when you live with other people? Just take a tip from MacGyver and get creative with some secret sex.

Shhh. Keep it down.
One of the first things to consider when you are deciding on getting hot and heavy with your new beau is noise levels. No one wants to hear your strange, animalistic grunts or the squeaking of bed coils in bad need of a tune up. “You should always check if your bed squeaks and is stable. If not, you may want to get a new bed that doesn't make so much noise. Also, make sure to lock your room,” advises Elina Furman, author of Boomerang Nation: How to Survive Living With Your Parents, the Second Time Around. This especially applies when dealing with parents. If you are trying to avoid eternally awkward moments at the dinner table with dear old mom and pop, please be sure to keep the noise down and the wild antics at a minimum.

Some secret sex ways to minimize the stimulating sounds of your satisfying sensual sessions include:

• Move your bed away from the wall. Just a few inches off the wall makes a world of difference in how much your roommate hears.
• Turn on your TV, your stereo or even your air purifier. Anything that will drown out your noises… or anything that you can blame them on if someone overhears. Wouldn’t you rather your roommates think you’re watching a racy sex scene rather than creating your own?
• Place a towel under the door. You’d be amazed at how something as slight as the crack under your door allows for unnecessary noise pollution in your apartment. A towel will help create your very own soundproof room.
