The Art of Sounds During Sex: To Moan or Stay Silent?

In bed, people have diverse approaches to sounds. Some shout, moan, growl, while others prefer silence. These sounds can be a source of different emotions and pleasure for each partner. But is it worth making noise or staying quiet during sex? This question often becomes a subject of discussion and debate.

It is believed that traditionally, women moan during sex, while men tend to remain silent. The stereotype of female vocalization in bed has a long history, associating it with the expression of genuine pleasure. On the other hand, male vocalization, especially if it is exaggerated, often elicits irony. Men may feel unsure about expressing their emotions and might choose to stay silent in bed to maintain control.

Research indicates that sounds and moans during sex can be associated with a special state of consciousness. Scientists argue that heightened breathing and moans can signify a trance-like state where a person loses some control over their behavior and emotions. Scientific studies also link this phenomenon to physiological changes, such as reduced blood pressure and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, which can intensify sensitivity and sexual experiences. In this sense, a person becomes similar to an animal, immersing themselves in a specific state of sexual experience.

When it comes to vocalization in bed, there is also an aspect of manipulation. Research shows that the sounds emitted during sex can be used as a means of manipulation. British researchers found that out of 71 surveyed women, 66% make sounds during sex to speed up their partner's orgasm, and 87% try to boost their partner's self-esteem through vocalization. Some women have also admitted to using sounds to overcome boredom, fatigue, or discomfort during sex.

However, it is essential to note that such use of sounds can raise doubts about sincerity and genuine emotions. Loud moans can sometimes appear rehearsed and create an impression of a desire to boast or prove that everything is fine with one's sexual experience. Nevertheless, men often trust their partners and interpret the sounds in bed as signals of heightened excitement and nearing orgasm, making their feelings and perceptions crucial aspects of sexual relationships.
