This is how we do it: We were evicted from our home due to noisy sex. We call it our bang to rights moment'

"We were actually evicted from our home due to noisy sex. We were getting complaints from the neighbours downstairs. At one point, the housing association office came to the door when we were having sex we call it our bang to rights moment. We try to be respectful and, obviously, we don't want to cause people alarm, but we're very noisy creatures. Now we've got the mattresses on the floor, so we've learned our lesson."

"When we met, I was pre-transition, and I worried that someone who found me attractive then might not fancy me after I'd taken testosterone. I had my guard up, and while I enjoyed Luke's company, I really didn't think much would come of it. But both of us are really happy to be proven wrong, and it is a really beautiful thing to have been on this journey with him, and to have shared this experience."

Luke is 20 years older than the narrator, and they acknowledged an age-gap power imbalance but found it does not affect their sexual dynamic. The narrator had more kink and BDSM experience, and about 80% of their sex is BDSM while they remain very touchy and cuddle frequently. Their noisy sexual activity led to complaints and eviction; they now use mattresses on the floor. The narrator has been on testosterone for a year and a half, which increased libido and made sexual desires stronger and feistier. Luke remained attracted after transition, offering strong support and boosting the narrator's self-confidence and overall wellbeing.
