ssia. I consider myself a porn connoisseur and have always wondered why _most_ women are so noisy during sex? I have a theory that the female makes a lot more noise to enhance the male’s pleasure by turning him on even more, in turn making them have a better, fuller insemination. That make any sense to you? ---

Er… the noise you observe is because that’s what the industry and specifically the directors of the films think that men want to hear when men are watching porn. The reality is a little different (not always, though personally I usually find such histrionics a trifle offputting). ---

To the degree that this proposition resembles the real world at all, one possibility might be that women make noise because otherwise you’d have no idea whether you were doing anything right-- to encourage you clumsy dopes. ---

Well, to be fair, the women I’ve had sex with in real life were also noisy. I used porn as an example simply for the statistics of needing a large group of women to compare. ---

Did all that old chap. On both submit and preview the capital Ds turned into lower-case. No idea why. It’s never happened before. I guess I must be a bit… stressed or something. I’m so ashamed. Anyway, back to noisy sex ladies… ---

And just to dog pile onto **diggleblop** , my vote for the reason that your partners have all been somewhat “noisy” is that’s it’s **F** or **A** cknowledging **K** now-how and **E** xpertise. 😉 ---

Well, according to Tiresias, with whom [Cecil agrees](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_224.html) (more or less), women get nine times the sexual pleasure men do. If I was nine times as excited about something as my buddy, I’d make more noise. ---

Since the only three letters in your posts were D’s, it made them small. Normally it capitalises the first letter of each word, but I guess it interpreted the colons as the start of each “word.” ---

With that, I’ll now add my two cents. Firstly, none of the women I’ve had any sort of relationships with were noisy at all. When it happens in porn it’s a little uncomfortable because (as far as my experience goes) it’s not what’s supposed to happen. However, my friend has told me that he loves noisy women, and has related how, through encouragement, he turned his formerly quiet girlfriend into one. Thus, in some cases it may simply be that some guys like it and influence their partners in that direction. Of course, I’m sure there are a lot of girls who’re just naturally louder than others.
