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.

    Don’t be subtle. Be direct and frank. “Dad, I don’t want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn’t have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I’m not home.” Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.

          Yeah totally, just pick one of the free houses and move in there with the stable personality you got from the well funded education system.

            Frankly if you said this to me I’d probably begin fucking in every room of the house. Then I would fuck in front of you maintaining eye contact.

            It’s crazy because I’m liberal as fuck, totally understand how cursed housing is but I still can’t take this as sarcasm.

            I’m fully living on my own despite a horrible public school system, no college education, etc. Hell, I moved to Los Angeles with nothing but a backpack and $800 and no high paying job experience.

            At some point you have to figure out your life and move on; sitting around and blaming everyone else for your problems won’t get you anything.

                Seriously. We don’t even know how old the poster is, just that their dad is 48.

                I was 20 when my dad was 48. I was in college and was only ‘home’ over the summers and winter break (when the dorms closed). My brother was 15. I don’t think it’d be reasonable to tell either of us to move out just because the adults in our lives were a tad indiscrete.

                You don’t fucking know me bro. I’m not privileged in the least, the most I’ve borrowed from my parents is $20 and I worked for minimum wage all throughout my 20s.

                Just because I’m not a deadbeat loser doesn’t mean I’m privileged.

      OP should definitely enforce boundaries, but this sounds like a fetish, which is fucked up, especially for the dad. If you’re an adult, you know your child is in the next room, and you’re banging at “max volume”, you’re wanting to be heard. 🤮

        Doubtful.

        I’ve been surprised at what and how much you can hear through a wall. Often it seems like you’re being silent, but that headboard is gently tapping on the wall and reverberating out the other side like a jackhammer.
