I probably started with the foam ones.
I'm hardcore now - wax all the way, baby.

Perhaps I was to blame in trying to get my mother onto something I'd slowly built up a tolerance to. TBF I was doing it for her benefit - she far prefers sleeping in a bed with my Dad, but often decamps into the spare room because of his snoring. I thought we could kill two birds with one stone if she learned to enjoy earplugs. Too much too soon though.

Hotel sex is the best. It's nice not to have to wash the sheets. And there's always weird furniture configurations that demand experiments.

I completely agree. But when you're the one hearing the sex instead of having the sex it can be quite disturbing. As sexually open as I consider myself I found that being the eavesdropper can be blush inducing.

Many years back I took my now ex-husband to to bed and breakfast for Valentine's Day weekend. The facility was an older Victorian style home with antiques and thin walls. The couple next to our room was so loud and, um, forceful, the walls were thudding and the sounds were just amplified beyond belief. It was as if the couple were wearing microphone headsets attached to really good car stereo speakers. My ex and I just sat there mortified. I think I may have placed the blanket over my head and begged for the bad noises to stop.

The next morning in the narrow hallway of the home we of course ran right into the couple on our way down to breakfast. I averted my eyes so I wouldn't giggle.

There's a great scene in The Cooler with William H Macy, sleeping alone in his room night after night, hearing the people in the next room having loud sex. When he finally gets Maria Bello in his bed, they put on a very deliberately loud show for the neighbors. Deliberately banging the bed against the wall, etc. It's amusing.
