Couple ordered to stop squealing and groaning during sex

An Italian couple have been ordered to make love more quietly after the woman's screams of ecstasy provoked complaints from neighbours.

The couple, both in their 20s, were taken to court after a family living next door grew fed up at being woken up by high pitched squeals and groaning.

The couple were originally told they must be completely silent during sex but Judge Ermanno Tristano overturned that ruling.

He relented after the husband told him: "Your honour I can't make love properly unless my wife screams. It's like having sex with a cushion."

But he warned the couple, who have not been named, they could face jail unless they make love quietly between the hours of 11pm and 7am.

The neighbours took the case to court after living next door to the couple in Treviso, northern Italy, for four years.
