The Immodest Orgasm/Playing With

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Basic Trope: When a woman orgasms, it is very, very loud.

  • Straight: Bob gives Alice an orgasm, and she screams out his name.
  • Exaggerated: Bob gives Alice an orgasm, and people complain about the noise ten blocks away.
    • The ensuing soundwave sets the alarms of all cars in a 50-mile radius, breaks the glass in all of the building, and causes an air raid siren to go off.
  • Justified: Bob is just that good.
    • Alice is faking it and she's a really good actress.
  • Inverted: The Modest Orgasm
  • Subverted: When Alice announces that she's about to have an orgasm, Bob braces himself for the noise. Alice just moans quietly.
  • Double Subverted: However, that's still just build-up for the orgasm. The actual orgasm is loud.
  • Parodied: Bob goes deaf from Alice's orgasms.
    • Alice is a certain kind of Superhero. Bob's head explodes.
    • Alice squeals and grunts like a pig when she orgasms.
    • Bob (the bartender) gives Alice a Screaming Orgasm (the drink)...and Alice screams so loud the whole bar is staring at her.
  • Deconstructed: Alice and Bob get multiple complaints for disturbing the peace, which stresses their relationship.
    • Alice has Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, which causes her to have head-to-toe screaming orgasms at the most inopportune times. Bob, who was once enamored with it, has become creeped out by it and has broken up with Alice because of it.
  • Reconstructed: Alice and Bob move to the country, where their neighbours don't live right next to them.
  • Zig Zagged: Alice is loud during orgasm, which her therapist "cures". Bob misses her loudness, so she starts faking it, but then the neighbours start complaining and they're forced to keep it down, until they decide to "screw it" and the therapy's results are suddenly gone.
  • Averted: We never see Alice having an orgasm. Or, her orgasm is done realistically.
  • Enforced: The writers want to make it clear that Alice is having an orgasm.
  • Lampshaded: After hearing Alice's orgasm, Carol says that she's impressed with Bob.
  • Invoked: Alice fakes a loud orgasm, so that Bob can feel good about himself.
  • Defied: Knowing that the neighbours will complain, Bob gags Alice.
  • Discussed: Bob and Alice go upstairs. Carol and Dave talk about how loud she'll probably be.
  • Conversed: Bob and Alice are having a conversation about the faked orgasms in porn.

Ohhh. OHHHH. OHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh, was I too loud?
