Sexual Problems and Intimacy • wraith309 • 2mo ago

Am I being dramatic?

Last night, my boyfriend (28/M) and I (23/F) were just about to drift off to sleep when our neighbors started making a lot of noise during their intimate moments. When I heard her scream, I noticed my boyfriend was getting aroused. I didn’t say anything, and we ended up being intimate too because he was turned on. I get that it’s a natural response, and I should just move on, but honestly, it left me feeling uneasy and ashamed about my reaction. Any thoughts?

It's understandable to feel uneasy in this situation. Your feelings are valid; hearing others can evoke strong emotions. It's important to communicate with your boyfriend about how it made you feel. Open dialogue can help you both navigate your reactions and strengthen your connection, rather than feeling ashamed.

It's natural to feel uneasy about the situation. Your feelings are valid; it's normal to have mixed emotions when external factors influence intimacy. Communicating with your boyfriend about your feelings might help clarify things and alleviate any shame. Remember, it’s okay to prioritize your comfort in the relationship.
