heeheeheeheeheehee!!!
Step 1: Let husband slide you around so that your head and shoulders are hanging upside down off the bed on the side nearest your telephone.
Step 2: Have husband rise up high enough to block view of your hand grabbing telephone.
Step 3: Below the edge of the bed, where you cannot be seen, dial 911 and report prowlers outside your home who you believe to be lurking outside darkened windows and perhaps preparing to break in. (This is not untrue, you have no way to know what they are or are not preparing to do, after all.)
Step 4: Continue playacting at whatever you were doing so as to not alert punks that they’ve been sussed out.
Step 5: Laugh your butts off when they get nabbed by the cops.
Anyway, all of you who are suggesting that this is in some way the OP’s fault missed, I believe, a crucial point in her post: her blinds were closed. The kids had to finagle some way to look under the edge of them. In her own apartment, she is permitted to make whatever noises she wishes, even sexual noises, without having her privacy intruded upon by those who go out of their way to come and work out a way of peeping in. Whatever sounds might travel out of an open window, a closed blind indicates very clearly that the occupants of the apartment do not wish to have a visual audience for whatever they’re doing inside. The kids were as wrong as rain on a picnic to go anywhere near that window, and need to know so.
The kids were just behaving like kids. What self respecting kid wouldn’t look if the opportunity was presented to them? They didn’t do it sneakily, there were several of them and they were giggling and talking out loud amongst themselves.
Nothing creepy, nothing dangerous, nothing really bad - and you’re the one who didn’t take the proper precautions to keep yourself private.
Ohfergoodnessakes.
Why would the kids go and buy porn if you are providing a show (with sound effects included) for nothing? Saves them spending ten bucks on a Penthouse Mag.
If you don’t want them getting their jollies gratis, then close your freaking window.
Or set up a booth to charge them.
Decorative thorn bushes.
Yes, this is the way to go.
Consider blackberry bushes. The thorns will keep the punk brats away, & the berries will feed the local birds, who will perch on your windowsill, & eat the berries in cute fashion.
Thus providing you with something else to do, in your spare itme…
In an effort to save a fellow Doper the embarassment, I will swallow my pride and ask, what’s a “rusty trombone”?
Red & swollen penis, due to a erection or BJ.
:eek: I think I’m gonna pass out!
Sounds like the trombone player needs to take the glass shards out of her mouth.

Do you know how hard it is to pee into a squirtgun!?
You know its Amazing. This is the very First generation of kids to play around a neighborhood and peek at windows when they make loud funny sounds. What should we do? Why there outta be a law (because there just aren’t enough of them already). I mean people pay their taxes…they should be allowed their open air sex antics without the bother of those meddling kids (and their meddling dog too). What the Hell has the world come to? Or have people just forgotten to teach kids Public Decency…?

IIRC the law has some clear standards on this issue. If the window is open and the blinds are up, posing no hindrance to seeing what’s going on inside, you are exposing yourself to your neighbors and have no recourse, in fact, you might be liable for public nudity. If your blinds are shut and they have to peek through a crack in the blinds to see anything, they’re peeping and can be arrested.
My first year in college, my (all-women’s) dorm floor was half-underground. Anyone passing by the windows could pretty easily see into your room even if you thought your blinds were “closed”, as the slats were aimed diagonally down into the room, and the little gaps between them provided a good view. We were encouraged to watch out for peeping Toms and call campus security if we saw any. Instead, we found it was more efficient to turn the blinds so that the slats were pointing the other way, presenting an opaque view from outside.
I sympathize with the OP, but don’t have any real advice. My husband and I live near a school (with lots of afterschool activities) so we know we have to keep quiet and keep the windows covered - at least to keep from scandalizing any parents coming by to pick up their little darlings, if not to avoid drawing a crowd.
Precisely. I’m frankly surprised that more people don’t see this procedure as SOP. Simply consider the most likely viewing angle from outside, then adjust the blinds accordingly.
Hmmmm…
Anyone have any idea how hard you have to try to stop people seeing you do the nasty (in the eyes of the law)? IOW at what point does it change from “peeping tom” to “indecent exposure”?
Really? I’d always heard it as reach around while performing analingus. Now THAT would cause some severe emotional problems.
Peeping in windows is a crime. Those kids are criminals. It’s probably too late to call the cops but I’d sure as hell talk to the parents. Fuck that “boys will be boys” shit. They criminally invaded the OP’s privacy. They don’t deserve a pass.
I suggest cultivating a nest of fire ants under your bedroom window. If the little peepers come back for another free show, they’ll get an Unpleasant Surprise. While they’re screaming, you can call the cops and tell them you’ve got some peeping toms outside. I can see where the “boys will be boys” attitude of some in this thread are coming from, but come on. If you can’t have sex in your own home without fear of some bored kids wandering over and staring through your blinds…
That’s not a Rusty Trombone !!!
Geesh. Look it up.
I’m gonna have to ditto this.
Also, as a parent, if you were to come up to me and say “your little son was peeping on my and my husband doing the wild thing”
I wouldn’t say it to you but I would say it to myself “GOOD! I’ve got a normal healthy boy!”
And I sure as HELL wouldn’t punish him over it. All though I MIGHT have to tease him a little bit.
Sorry, but that’s just too fucking funny!!
I missed this one.
Technically you’re right. But I’m pretty sure this ISN’T what the lawmakers had in mind when they wrote this law.
Like I said, if a parent we’re to come up to me with this shit; it would be all I could do to keep a straight face and not laugh at you. (the parent)
