A quiet affair? not for cheaters —at least in the bedroom

If you’ve ever been cheated on, you know that infidelity can make you want to scream. Turns out, unfaithful partners feel the same way — but about their bedroom shenanigans. In a new survey of 1,000 men and women by IllicitEncounters.com (a UK dating site for married folks), 62 per cent of women and 72 per cent of men said they make more noise in bed when they’re having an illicit liaison.

Other notable findings about loud love sessions: 88 per cent of women said they’re noisier than their partners during sex, and 71 per cent men are in agreement that they like a woman making a racket in the sack.

Turns out, turning up the volume can lead to some fascinating results. Moaning, or the staid scientific equal, “copulatory vocalisations”, can help you communicate what’s getting you off.

Plus, a 2013 study in the journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour suggests that women may experience higher sexual satisfaction when their male partner audibly expresses his pleasure.

So don’t fake it if you don’t feel it, but there is enough evidence to finally letting your inner screams externalise. Your partner is loving it.
