'I am embarrassed by the loud noise we make!'

I'm worried and embarrassed to think whether my in-laws have heard me moan! When I told my hubby my concerns, he burst out laughing. Is it normal for newly-married couples to behave in this particular manner?

Dear Akshita
I don't think your in-laws are standing with their ear to the door to listen to your moanings. I am sure they are asleep by then! No wonder your hubby laughed when you voiced your concerns.u00a0Moaning is a way of expressing your satisfaction in sex. If you don't show the person you are intimate with that you are enjoying it, he might feel like you are not being taken care of! So you don't have to worry as long as your bed does not break! But still if you have doubts, tell your guy to make some noises and shut the door and see if you can hear anything. u00a0
