Neighbours of man indulging in self sex get 'no respite'

London, June 2 (ANI): Disgruntled neighbours of a man who masturbates "louder than an animal" have failed in their attempt to get him evicted from their vicinity.

Residents of an apartment block in Malmo, Sweden, had complained about the man last August, claiming that they could hear him pleasuring himself loudly night and day.

"He moans louder than an animal... I can feel how it affects my state of mind," the Sun quoted one neighbour as having written in the complaint.

But the Malmo County Administrative Board argued that the noise levels didn't go high enough to pose a danger to the health of nearby residents.

In their report to the administration the neighbours had described how the man "masturbates and screams".

But local official Nicolas Stromback said that the residents should resolve such problems amicably.

"This sort of thing needs to be solved among the residents," Stromback said.

"It has to be very disruptive for us as a public authority to get involved and decide how someone should behave in their own home," he said.

Stromback further said that they would need proof of the man's high volume masturbation to take action.

Susanna Skogsberg - an attorney with the Swedish Tenants' Association - explained that complaints about noises made by neighbours having sex are quite common in Sweden.

"I usually tell people that they should talk to their neighbours themselves. But that may not have worked in this particular case," she added. (ANI)
