Dad has recently gotten himself a much younger girlfriend whom he has moved in last month. My bedroom and their bedroom are wall to wall. The fact that they fuck doesn’t make me uncomfortable - so happy for them, but they do it on max volume. No joke. Every night at 11 and in the morning at 6 on the clock. These walls are paper thin apparently.

      Agreed. I wouldn’t interrupt their fun, but I’d mention it to my dad some time when the girlfriend wasn’t around. I’d send an email or text if I felt too embarrassed/shy to say anything face-to-face. “Hey, Dad. Just FYI the walls are really thin in this apartment and I can hear what you two get up to.”

      I’d also look into earplugs. Earplugs + bone conductive headphones could be a good work around. I’m a fan of Shokz, but other brands exist.

        In fact asking dad to buy new headphones could be a way to transition into that conversation.

        “Hey, dad, will you buy me these?”

        “Um…why?”

        “11 and 6 dad. I need them for 11 and 6. Y’all ain’t subtle.”

      Yeah, if they don’t care or realise that they’re shagging to loud, they aren’t going to realise if they’re told subtly.
