"“Dead silence.” Someone disagreed, saying: “Silence is fine. Having music playing then getting an ad selling toys with kids laughing - that's a turn off.” Another said: “Intense moaning might be even worse!”"
"“When they don't want a housemate to hear so they put on some sitcom. Nothing kills the mood like jokes from the '90s and a laugh track.” One responder even added: “I had a guy put on Golden Girls once. Like, no.”"
"“A good kisser is such a turn on but the opposite can so quickly kill it for me,” one wrote. Another agreed, saying: “If someone can't kiss or refuses to kiss.”"
"“When someone starts getting rough especially when we hadn't talked about it before,” one commented. Another added: “If someone slaps me or puts their hand round my throat, I will leave faster than you can blink.”"
People shared factors that instantly reduce sexual desire, including bad breath and poor hygiene. Some mentioned pets in the room and distracting items like an “ankle monitor.” Sound and media also affected mood, with dead silence being cited, while others preferred silence over music that turns into ads or jokes with laugh tracks. Sitcoms and specific shows like Golden Girls were described as mood killers. Kissing quality mattered, with inability or refusal to kiss quickly ending the moment. Unexpected roughness, slapping, or putting a hand around the throat were treated as clear boundaries that lead to leaving. Watching Fox News was also mentioned as a switch-off.
