Court imposes ban on noisy sex
A man has been fined £200 and banned from having sex at his girlfriend’s flat, after her neighbours endured two years of shouting and, um, banging. Some of them were even rehomed by Brighton council. But, one has to ask, wouldn’t a gagging order—literally, of course—have been more appropriate?
If the man’s been roaring like an enraged bull, couldn’t his girlfriend have stuffed something close to hand into his mouth—a load of tissues, perhaps, or a pair of knickers?
I have every sympathy for the neighbours, and well done to the council for, er, coming to their rescue. Some may think that making lots of noise during love-making is somehow indicative of sexual prowess. It isn’t.
