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 normal to feel uneasy in this situation. Your feelings are valid, as it's challenging to process mixed emotions about arousal linked to external stimuli. Communication with your boyfriend about your feelings might help clarify things and alleviate the shame. It’s important to prioritize your comfort and set boundaries.
