For me, I am completely silent during any sex, including the orgasm. I know that a major reason for most men is that it is instinctive from when they were a teenager and tried to be quiet while at their home and the silence became second nature and carried into adult life, but with a few men, such as myself, it is simply because that is how our body works, and is far more natural to be quiet instead of forcing out moans.

I also feel it's just a excuse when I hear a guy say that they have to concentrate, and that's why they don't moan or groan during sex. I don't see no reason to be embarrassed. I don't think a man will be happy if he was with a woman, and she is quiet during sex. He wouldn't know if he is pleasing her. Excellent answer!

 If you are self-conscious about noise around a person that you are boinking, then perhaps you don't know them well enough to be boinking them - lol! Or they might be worried about which name they call out in the heat of passion? Always the cynic...

reader, anonymous, writes (25 September 2010): To some extent I think most people, both men and women, are self-conscious about what they do, and the sounds they make, during sex - especially at climax. I once made the mistake of telling my lover how much it turned me on the way she moaned and whimpered at orgasm - and she clammed up, and I didn't hear another sound from her for most of a year.
I don't really know "why" guys are quiet, but the fact is that most (90% or more?) are. On the other hand, around half of all women are somewhat vocal. I think most of the answers about how the guy is "concentrating" on his partner are really just an excuse, and the guys just don't want to say "It's too embarrassing.", or "That's just not the way I react.".
It took me quite a while to realize that I am in the "vocal minority". If I sense my partner's lust, or she does something a little unexpected during foreplay, or if a touch or caress is "just right", I spontaneously respond with a gasp or maybe a mild moan. At climax - I don't understand how guys can NOT be vocal: I tend to shudder all over, and moan or cry out. For me, it takes extreme concentration (and jamming my face into a pillow) to NOT be vocal. One partner embarrassed me, while I was still in the midst of climax, by saying, "WOW! You cum like a GIRL!". That put a damper on my expression of pleasure for a little while, but I recovered and still let it happen.

 You can always ask him to be a little more vocal. If you just tell him how hot it is for you, I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige.

reader, anonymous, writes (24 September 2010): I find it odd that nobody has said this, but I don't moan because I feel like I sound stupid doing so. I guess that's probably because it doesn't come natural.
I've had some women complain about that I just explain it's not me. I do kinda growl when I'm having an orgasm and that usually turns women on a bit, but as for moaning, I can't even fake that.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2010): Interesting question. It's different for everyone really, some do, some don't. My boyfriend does sometimes but not all the time and not a lot.
I think it is to do with the whole concentrating thing. I mean, if they aren't concentrating then they'll be cuming way too soon and ruin it for the girl. So I guess that's why. Or some just prefer it that way or see it as a 'womanly' thing to do.

You have to remember OP our pleasure is quite different than yours. It feels great, through the entire act, but the only time we get extreme moanworthy pleasure is at the point of orgasm and that lasts only a few seconds, unless of course you can hold it in, in which case you don't want to let loose and moan either.
Most guys that moan only do it because they know it's expected of them to reassure the woman they are with that they're getting pleasure.
For the majority of us guys that care, performance is the most pleasurable thing for us, we know from experience that if we do it right we can have a woman weak at the knees and writhing in pleasure for a nice amount of time.
*Warning explicit*
Okay I'll be blunt, I really don't want to miss any part of the sweaty, writhing, moaning, screaming beast that is my girlfriend when we have sex, I want to take it all in and I can't do that if I'm not focused on her. I want to see how every part of her body spasms, her fists clench, the intensity of emotion in her eyes, the swaying of her breasts, the biting of her lip, the gasps for breath. As a guy the pleasure I get from seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling all that pleasure from her is the greatest feeling in the world. I can't do that if I have my eyes closed moaning with pleasure.
Blow jobs are the only time I can sit back, close my eyes and just immerse myself in my own pleasure.
Of course not every guy is like that, some just like to hop on get it done with and go to sleep. As long as you don't have one of those you're fine.

 I couldn't agree more; I think it is a great turn on! I think that some men are afraid to do this because they feel it will look as if they are not in control.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2010): I am basically quiet during sex as a matter of focus. Every now and then I will say something like "you feel so good" or "you smell so damn good" or "you make me crazy". But when I am getting near orgasm I make some noises to let her know I am about to explode...that usually really turns her on causing her to move around more and make the orgasm more intense

A lot of people just prefer to be quiet and "in the zone" during sex. Doesn't mean anything about how much they're enjoying it or whatever. Some guys are quiet too because they're focusing on counting something, or whatever technique, so they can last longer.

 cool question!!!
anyways I've only had 2 sexual partners and they both made noises and both moaned:s I think it has nothing to do with focusing on the performance, its some sort of a spontaneous reaction to the performance itself.. So I just think it depends on the guy himself and whether he likes or doesn'like to moan. maybe some guys think of it as a feminine thing or so.. Well as long as the whole thing is pretty good why care for the moaning part!
TCHAWS!

 For me its because I am focusing on giving her pleasure as well as myself. I get more audiable at the point of cumming.

Hi,
Its probably because, for a change, we want to hear you moan!! ;)..LMAO

A
reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2010): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI understand your explanation. Keep in mind that some women are not fully turned on when a man is silent during sex, because it's important to a woman also to know if she is pleasing her man. Thank you for your answer.

reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2010): I'm a non-moaner, yeah it is about focus for me. Personally my biggest turn on during sex is the moans, gasps from my girlfriend, every little excess inhalation and sound is also an indication whether I'm hitting the right spots too. It's kind of hard to hear that when I'm moaning over her.
I have had girlfriends that wanted me to moan, but I always faked it.
When my girlfriend is on top or giving me head I moan, but again it's kind of forced. In that situation I do it to heighten her pleasure and give her a non verbal clue as to when I;m about to cum, not because my body wants to moan naturally.
For me I've always been silent when orgasming, I hold my breath at the point of my orgasms because it increases the pleasure for me. Funnily enough I attribute my silence to training myself as a teenager to be silent while masturbating. The walls in my parents house is like paper and I have a big family with very little privacy, I used to be able to hear my brother turn the pages of a book from all the way down the hall.
