Copulating Deaf Couple Unaware of Own Volume "It sounded as if they were bludgeoning a cow. There would be a low moan, like a ‘moo,’ and then a ‘bang’ and a higher-pitched ‘moo.’ It was like ‘MOO…BANG…MOOO!’"

  • One wonders whether reaching in and flashing the lights on and off wouldn't have been kinder than "physically intervening"...
  • Kinda hard to hold it against them, isn't it?
  • My lucky and incredibly grateful partners have ranged from stuttering birds (high pitched ah! ah! ah! ah!) to repentant athiest (using "God" quite a lot - interesting because they were agnostic) but I don't know about a cow. I think that description is kind of low Hah? hah?! Ha haaaaa ha ha ha!
  • it's kind of like aliens landing and complaining to earthlings about emitting too much protonucleon 64832...
  • What es el Queso said.
  • Yeah, but have you ever gotten a note from a highly embarassed landlord relaying a complaint by an apartment neighbor about the noise you and your new love have been making? I have, and as one who has been mostly unlucky in love and sex, it is a badge of honor.
  • Now we need an article with the title Copulating Blind Couple Each Totally Unaware How Amazingly Hot the Other Is: Sighted Neighbors Resentful.
  • It's also interesting to think that hearing people are so aware of their own noises, Re: the opposite.
  • Pettle, there was an episode of "Becker" with that as a plot, and I am ashamed that I know that. It was when I was living with my dad... he always had the TV on, watching bad sitcoms... I haven't watched a minute of "Becker" or "Married With Children" or "King of Queens" since I moved out... honest!!!
  • You watched the "king of queens" one about the stripper pole. 'Fess up.
  • See, I should be writing comedy for TV! Er, that is, I should be writing shows that have already run...starring Ted Danson...and that hot chick from DS9... Talk about shame for knowing something...
  • As a (mostly) deaf man, I've been there. Well, not this situation exactly, but ones like it. Embarrassing and frustrating, really. It simply highlights how isolating deafness can be. It's a bit surprising that an outlet for the deaf community would view this as 'humour' rather than simple news, given how some of its members may not be of the same view. But, as I say, there are two kinds of people: those who are disabled, and those who aren't -- yet. An appreciation for the difficulties faced by the disabled is really just a matter of time.
  • And yet I see something . . liberating? about the story. I'm probably too self-conscious during the act about my manly, double-sexy cries of pleasure, but these people weren't. I kind of like that part.
  • ummm.... at the bottom... Note: This is not necessarily news but a humor article related to deafness.
  • I kind of like that part. Me too, I'm all like "Go for it, deaf Monkeys!" But then again, I don't live anywhere near them, so my viewpoint is painfully irrelevant. Still...go for it!
  • I don't care if is not true, because it is still very funny. As far at Capt. R's comment above, it sounds like they were able to overcome their limitations rather well.
  • Don't get me wrong -- they should go for it. I've received plenty of nasty notes from landlords about my noise levels, at which point you simply say that kicking you out on that basis is to discriminate on the basis of your disability, and do they really want to deal with a human rights complaint? It's always fun to see their faces wash over with panic, then resignation. The downside is that my deafness tampers with our dealings later on, in that instead of treating me like I'm deaf, they treat me like I'm stupid. Yay.
  • But whatever. I'm about to kick out for the day, and I don't want to start on a crusade. Suffice to say, EarWax, I have no idea how deafness could be a 'limitation' on sex. (Aside from phone sex, obv.)
  • well, prior to us shacking up, mr. medusa had neighbors who were a shoe-in [sic] for domestic-violence poster-family o' the year, yet they would complain about hearing our sex noises! would you rather listen to the lovely sounds of copulation or the screams of the psychotic and the crash of breaking furniture??
  • would you rather listen to the lovely sounds of copulation or the screams of the psychotic and the crash of breaking furniture?? In my perfect world, these are one and the same.
  • would you rather listen to the lovely sounds of copulation or the screams of the psychotic and the crash of breaking furniture?? I prefer to listen to Cheap Trick.
  • would you rather listen to the lovely sounds of copulation or the screams of the psychotic and the crash of breaking furniture?? I'd rather be making the sounds and screams and crashes, thankyouveddymuch.
  • Monkeyfilter: the lovely sounds of copulation, the screams of the psychotic and the crash of breaking furniture
  • you're all a buncha sick perverts! and I love you!!
  • Go, Pikestrider! This proves my point that sex is essentially a selfish act. If they were trying to communicate their gratitude and appreciation instead of expressing a selfish pleasure, they would have been using sign.
  • *steals Chy's thunder* you sick fucks. nah, doesn't really feel the same...
  • Don't actually know what the original link's author means by "not necessarily news," because it's definitely a humour piece and not real.
  • "Gaia! Gaia! GAIIIAAA!" In-joke. Good times.
