Is a girl's moaning during sex simply beyond her control?

So this has plagued my mind for as long as I can remember. I hear about girls having to resort to placing a pillow over their mouths to drown out the moans because no other remedy will work. Is what you're feeling really THAT pleasurable? And they seem to do it even when they're not having an orgasm.

Why are girls able to keep silent while masturbating yet as soon as they're having the real thing it suddenly turns into a screaming match?

For me, I love sexual pleasure so much that I can't get enough of it. Yet, moaning has never been an inextricable component of that. There is heavy breathing and some soft moaning at best, but never something to make the neighbours jealous (in fact, my very best orgasms were completely silent).

What is it about sex that makes girls so vocal? Expectation from porn? To get the guy more aroused? To make him cum instantly? Or simply because it feels too good? Can you not suppress it if you tried?

Perhaps having a prostate orgasm will help answer my question?

  • When I read this part of your question I couldn't help but laugh when I got to the part. "Why are girls able to keep silent while masturbating". I had always thought I was quiet till I recorded a session once. I was anything but quiet and don't ask to see it. I have wiped all record of it.

    • But are you always as loud as you were in the video or were you just putting on a show cause you knew a camera was on you?

    • There was no show being put on. I recorded myself & thought I wasn't making any noise at all.

    • So while you were masturbating you thought you were being quiet but once you watched the video you realized you were being loud?

  • For the most part they are involuntary, but I can keep quiet if I really have to.

    • I don't know if I'm misunderstanding but to me what you said contradicts itself. If you're able to keep quiet at your own choosing then how is it involuntary? Involuntary means you don't have control over it but you're saying that you can easily control it if you need to. So which is it, voluntary or involuntary?

    • I understand what you’re trying to say but it’s just not that black and white. You can try to keep a burp quiet but that doesn’t mean burps are voluntary. Just because I can stop myself from making sounds if I really need to does not mean that I’m making the sounds voluntarily. I’m just allowing myself to make a sound that is natural.

    • Hmm, so you're saying that when you have sex you always get the URGE to moan which you can't control but whether it comes out loudly or silently is the part you can control? If so then it just makes me wonder why guys never experience the same thing. When we moan it's purely voluntary and we never feel a moan coming on that we can't stop the way you're describing your moans. And this is true even when we climax. There's heavy breathing but it honestly feels more natural to just keep silent. Yet when girls aren't even near an orgasm they claim to have these involuntary moans. That's why I'm so sceptical to believe what you're saying. It makes it sound like your pleasure is 10× greater than ours.

  • My girlfriend is a screamer so she tries to cover her moans with a pillow. Although l am not huge, I make her cum at least 2-3 times before I finish inside her.

    • See but that just makes me think that sex is unimaginably more pleasurable for women than it is for us. How is she not able to control it? And does she scream even when she's not having an orgasm? Also, do you know if she screams like that when she masturbates? If not, how come?

    • It is more enjoyable for women. They can cum multiple times before they go like and biologically speaking, they have more nerve endings down there than men. Sometimes when we have sex, she tries to control it (when we were at her parents home) but fails and you can see her not being able to control the pleasure. She only screams when she cums but slowly moans and purrs during the act itself. I asked her and she confirmed that sometimes she does scream while masturbating but not always as compared to sex. She thinks it's coz the real act is more pleasurable because it's sex.

    • I know they can have multiple orgasms but I was mainly referring to sex in general, ignoring this fact. Yes, they have more nerve endings in their CLITORIS, which is external and is not being stimulated during intercourse most of the time. While our most sensitive area IS being stimulated during intercourse and yet we can go without making a peep. That's what's confusing to me. Damn, it's hard for me to imagine trying your best to be silent and failing due to intensity. Again, it makes me wonder just what exactly she's feeling for it to be so overwhelming like that. Hmm, well not sure I find that reasoning valid. Perhaps mentally it's more arousing when getting the real deal but I don't see why it would make that much of a difference. Kinda makes me confused yet jealous.

  • my reasons for moaning is A B and C all three of them and the reason I say C is because I can control it and I don’t always moan I usually moan because I think I’m supposed to which I guess we’re not supposed to? Or don’t have to? Sometimes I moan because it feels so good and overwhelming and painful 😖 and I just can’t help but moan sometimes I moan in pain lol and I definitely do B a lot and A

  • It depends. Many girls can't control it.

    • That's what I mean. I've never heard of a guy being like that, it's only the girls. How can sex be THAT much more pleasurable for them? Especially considering that intercourse is barely enough to make them cum yet that's precisely when they're being the loudest. That's what makes it so difficult for me to believe that the moaning (and especially the screaming) is authentic rather than exaggerated.

    • The sensations of a dick and a vag are a bit different you know? Mayority of girls need to deeply let go during sex to feel pleasured, which means she has to lose all the control. That in combination with the vaginal sensations leads to moaning. Some girls can stay in control and still feel pleasured. They belong to the fuck-fraction like most guys 😁

    • Being with someone is a different experience. It's like how i can rub my own feet and it feels so good because i know where all my sweet spots are, and i know exactly how i want it. But when my partner is rubbing them, it's slightly better because they have a different set of skills. Anyways... the clitoris is more sensitive and it's NOT inside of the vagina so it's easier stimulation. That is why girls cum easier that way. Vaginal sex and clitoral stimulation can make women moan. It's not like it's just one or the other. The only difference is who is doing the stimulating. Masturbation is more personal, so some women may be quieter because it only involves them. They're moaning, but it's inside their heads. Being with another person means that other guy/girl can pull the pleasurable sensations of of your mind and make you express them more vividly. Some scream, some moan. Just depends on how sensitive the girl is and how intense the sex is.

  • Depends on the girl, for example, I'm dominant in sex and I don't moan because I consider it submissive behavior.
