Impolite Society: Exploring the Weird, Taboo & Macabre
Why Are We So Loud in Bed?
Show Notes

A throaty moan, a gasp of pleasure, a shriek of ecstasy - these are all music to our ears. The sounds of sex are unmistakable- But why are humans so loud in the sack?

In this episode we are looking at sex sounds: why we make them, the other animals that are shrieking their way through intercourse, and if nature or nurture is responsible for these copulatory vocalizations. All to answer the rude question…. Why are we so loud in bed?

That’s what you’re in for today, on Impolite Society.
