I would make farm-animal noises, because I have fantasies that I would be doing a girl around a farm area. It turns me on to think of having sex on a farm, outside on the hay, with animals standing by licking you. Ooooo, that would be so good!

This Week's Wackiest Response:
When I know I'm going to be alone for a while I dump several bags of pink feathers onto the floor, get completely naked, and start humping the pile while reciting Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" as loud as I can until I ejaculate. I don't know what it is, but there's something about the feeling of feathers against my genitals, combined with Poe's classic poem, that's really erotic to me. Trying to hold off my ejaculation until the final stanza drives me absolutely wild!

I would make more noise, like groans and calling out the name of the girl I'm thinking about. I just had my first mutual masturbation session with my girlfriend, but we had to be so quiet that it made me mad. I think doing something like that just deserves some verbalization.

I share a house, and in the flat above me live a young couple. My bedroom is directly below theirs, and and I often hear them having sex. The girl can get very vocal as her orgasm approaches, and this makes me very horny. I often start masturbating and join them in making loud moaning noises. I try to time my orgasm to match theirs so we can all shout "Yes! Yes! Yes!" together.

First, I would use lots of lube to make a wet slapping noise that can easily be identified. I would also moan a lot and probably make up some stupid interjections like, "I'm the best!" and "Who's your daddy?"

I am in the closet, so everything I do sexually is *very* quiet and low-key. Being able to let go of any inhibitions would mean loud moans or trying to make the noise of how it feels to be "free" to express the way I am. I would use words that tell what I feel — self-assuring words of how it feels to be free and un-taboo. Even alone, I feel too embarrassed to express those feelings since mine is a "gay-is-gross" family (and so is America basically), so I'm still pretending. Too many people are in the dark about people in the closet. It sucks.
- age 20, Nevada
I would probably just scream out in moans or curses, because I never have done that. I think it would be fun.
- age 15, Nebraska
An interesting question. I don't think my noisemaking would really be anything out of the ordinary — just my usual moans, groans, and heavy breathing of pleasure, only louder. Being able to really unleash my noisemaking could improve my pleasuring.
- age 46, California
I enjoy masturbation more when I can make lots of noise, and I have the opportunity quite often. I usually moan louder, move more, and I know this sounds *really* pathetic, but I say or yell a person's name — usually the person I am currently infatuated with.
- age 19, New Hampshire (female)
I don't think I would make extraordinary noises at all. It all happens inside my head. I might imagine making love to a girl and the two of us moaning or telling each other what to do next or something like that, but I feel kind of funny doing it alone. So I am relatively quiet when I climax.
- age 23, Germany
If I really wanted to, I would say things like, "No!" and, "Please don't!" while tossing and turning some. Along with that, of course, I would moan loudly. It's part of that "forced against my will" fantasy. I would do it only if I were entirely sure no one could ever hear me — I wouldn't want anybody to "come to my rescue."
- age 15, Wisconsin
Relating back to the Voyeur vs. Exhibitionist question, I am an exhibitionist. To attract attention, I would sometimes go into public restrooms and make noises that would normally sound quite odd. These noises range from my best immitation of animals having sex to moans and groans. I would be as loud as possible. On a couple of occasions others joined in. This would get me very aroused!
- age 18, Nevada
I would groan loudly and probably say things like, "Hell yeah," and "Oh god" when I climaxed. I wish I could do that more often so I could enjoy the fact that no one around can catch me or spy on me. Knowing you're alone (or with someone you want to be with) makes the session much, much more pleasurable.

When I am home alone, the windows are closed, and I have an especially fine orgasm, I ride the intense feelings with my voice. The pitch of my moaning varies with the ebb and flow of the intensity of my feeling. If the orgasm isn't that intense, I usually just breathe heavily and vocalize on the exhalation with something like a loud "Hah!" I vocalize but I don't verbalize when I climax.
- age 58, New Jersey
I'd like to get the house to myself for a few hours (which will never happen, because my parents are control freaks) and masturbate 5 or 6 times while yelling as loudly as I want. I'd probably pretend I was having lesbian sex so that my neighbors would get some ideas. Hahaha!
- age 16, Canada (female)
This may sound a little weird, but I hate making loud noises — even when I am alone. The only sound I like to make is breathing. It could be heavy or light breathing, but nothing more. I don't really know why, but it's a turn-off for me to make lots of noise. Now, if others make noises, I'm fine with that — in fact, that's a good turn-on for me. It's strange that I hate to make noises, but really enjoy hearing it from others.
- age 17, Florida
I sometimes hum the tune from Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine."
- age 19, Alabama
I would say the names of my best friends I want to masturbate with, while fantasizing about them!
- age 14, New York
I am very quiet when I masturbate, but I think it would be amusing if one day I just made lots of really loud ape noises — like a deranged howler monkey. It just makes sense, if you already have the banana!
- age 15, Georgia
I would probably yell as I climax, and scream as high as I could. It would be great to have that kind of freedom. I don't know — I just started masturbating, so I'm not too experienced.
- age 12, Washington (female)
Wow — I never thought of that, and I have a pretty vivid imagination. When I am about to ejaculate (whether alone or with my girlfriend) I always say, "My God, that feels good!" However, when I'm with my girlfriend it's always, "Okay ... start to go slow now," and I always ask her if I can ejaculate on her breasts and watch her suck them afterwards. Usually I say that when I have trouble reaching climax. For some reason, it helps to hear her say yes.
- age 26, North Carolina
Often I get to masturbate when the house is completely empty, so I can usually make as much noise as I want. I love to talk or yell out very explicit things such as, "I love masturbating!" and, "I love stroking my long, hard c*ck." Or, I'll pretend that a girl is with me and yell out things like, "Suck on my big fat d*#k" or, "F*!k me harder, harder!" It's a huge turn-on for me, and I ejaculate much more quickly. And because no one else is around, I don't hold anything back — I let myself have very loud orgasms.

While hiking alone in the Bridger-Teton wilderness area when I was 18, I found a large, flat rock by a river in a mountain valley and stopped there to relieve a bad case of horniness. Since I thought I had the whole valley to myself, I made quite a racket — mostly short but loud gasps, but also talking out my fantasies a bit (speaking the role of the woman of my dreams). After cleaning up my mess, I was startled to discover that there was a campsite just on the other side of the rock. I never did find out whether anyone was there — I just took off.
- age 30, Pennsylvania
I would start with loud, deep, mantra-like moaning sounds that creep through the back of my throat. With that, I would concentrate more effectively on what I was doing and project the sound more loudly into climax.
- age 15, Ohio
Uh, nothing — noise is overrated.
- age 17, Washington
Once when my parents and my sister were out of the house I took the opportunity to do some furious masturbation. When things started getting good, I decided to let out some noise. I did the usual moaning and grunting, but what I found most arousing was making chicken noises. Now whenever I masturbate I go, "Ba-ba-bakka!"
- age 14, California
When I am totally sure no one (my husband) is around to hear, I say the name of the guy I have a crush on, I say "f***" a lot — I say a lot of stuff I never say when anyone is around. I love how free I can be at that time. It makes the orgasm, and my whole masturbation experience, so much better.
- age 29, California (female)
I would moan as I never have before. Moaning during masturbation often turns me on.
- age 17, Italy
"Oh, hand! Oh, f**k me hand! I need you, hand! You're so good to me!"
- age 18, Canada
I've never made noise while masturbating. In fact, I usually try hard to be quiet. This goes back to my earliest days when I used to hump the pillow on my bed. (I started masturbating that way when I was 12, and it was my favorite way until I was about 15.) I tried to keep it quiet because my sister's room was across from mine at the head of the stairs, and there wasn't much privacy. She heard me at least once, and walked in on me, which was embarrassing. So keeping quiet became part of the experience and remains so to this day.

Being Hispanic, I usually curse in Spanish when I ejaculate. It seems to heighten my experience.
- age 15, Texas
I would make orgasm noises, of course, as well as saying out loud that I'm masturbating. I do that even when my mum and dad are in the house! They don't say anything about it, but I'm sure they have heard me moaning and groaning in my room once in a while.
- age 17, New Zealand
I'd make more groans and moans — the type one makes during sex. Just hearing myself in ecstasy is a turn-on. I've audiotaped myself masturbating several different times and used the tape to help set the mood for a long, extended session. I also have said things like, "Come on," and, "Oh no, here it comes, no, no, NO, AHHH..." as I reached climax and started to ejaculate.
- age 38, Washington
I would pretend I was having sex with my girlfriend and would say things like, "I'm coming inside you right now!" when I start to climax.
- age 15, Wisconsin
I guess I would just groan very loudly. I like to make some noise while masturbating, but most of the time I have to be quiet since my parents are in the room next to mine, or if I have left the window open. I don't think I would start screaming all kinds of vulgar words. That's not like me.
- age 19, Belgium
I don't think I could possibly make more noise than I already do. I find masturbation extremely pleasurable. I start off moaning quietly; after about a half-hour I find that I grunt louder the closer I come to orgasm. While ejaculating, I usually bark out, "Oh, yeah, oh yeah." After 7 or 8 spurts I always laugh out loud. I don't know why I laugh; I think it has something to do with how pleased I am by my orgasm. Of course, everything is 10 times better if I use lube.
- age 23, New Jersey
If I were so far away from everyone else that I probably wouldn't get any for a long time, I'd call out my own name.

What is so good about making noise while masturbating?
- age 14, New Zealand
When I masturbate by myself, I don't make much noise. But thanks to JackinWorld, two friends and I have been masturbating together for almost two years. These sessions always turn into masturbating each other and most of the time, more. The three of us always look forward to frequent warm-weather sleepovers and campouts in our yards. Of course, we have to keep the noise down then so we won't get caught. But during the day and after school, there is no one home at my house, so we can make as much noise as we want. There are lots of ouuuuus, ahhhhhs, oh-yeahs — fast, loud, heavy breathing — and gasps of air. We tell each other things like, "It feels so good — don't stop," or, "Oh, man, you're going to make me c*m." If we want to be stroked faster or slower, tighter or not so tight, we say so. If I want to be touched on my nuts I say it and one or both of my friends will rub them for me. These times we spend together are so much fun and full of excitement that we each can ejaculate two or three times in a session. Masturbating together and being open to say what we want or what a good job the other person is doing has made us the very best of friends. Thanks, JackinWorld.

I guess I would just breathe more heavily than normal. I am quite a shy girl, so when I am being pleasured, I rarely say anything. I would moan, though, just a little!
- age 14, New Jersey (female)
When I masturbate, I often do role-plays with myself so my pillow partner can come to life (excuse the pun). I give my phantom lover a voice and often moan loudly. It surprises me how it adds to the pleasure of orgasm.
- age 17, United Kingdom
I had a chance to make a lot of noise this week. I started with a lot of heavy breathing and soft moaning, but when I ejaculated, I was hollering. I groaned so loud I strained my voice!
- age 21, Arizona
I would probably moan a lot because I am normally in my room, which I share with my little brother, and have to masturbate under the covers at night. He probably knows I do it, because I've caught him, and he's only 12. However, I don't know if he would care if I moaned. I don't think he would, because he walks around our room naked, sleeps naked, and gets up in my face and masturbates. Still, I don't want to press my luck — maybe he just wants to bust me.
- age 16, Missouri
My masturbation usually causes heavy breathing, slowly becoming louder and faster as the deed goes on. Within the last minute, I find that groans become more audible, and only occasionally do I actually utter words. I give no thought to whether my wife can hear me, as she is quite happy to be a spectator. She can usually hear me when I do the deed in the shower, which is quite close to our bedroom. I usually leave the door open, anyway. In boarding school and later in the Army, I had to grit my teeth and force myself to be quiet, but not anymore — I just let myself go.
