Is it okay not to moan?

I've always noted how in adult videos, it's better to be loud. When I do it, I can't seem to make noise except for my occasionally shaking breath, you know, yeah. You get that. I sometimes wonder if my partner would feel down because of this or would be turned off. I mean I feel good, but I just don't moan. What do you think, should I practice moaning now?? But I feel like that would be insincere....

I've had a few partners over the 20+ years that I've been sexually active. Not all of them made noise, and all were different in their sexual behavior. None of it was bad. So long as I could tell that, I was giving them pleasure (and multiple orgasms), I was happy with the experience. Otherwise, I suppose that I would have felt like a failure.

Yes, it's absoultely fine not to moan. Everybody's sexual behaviour is different. Many people are worried that if they do not make sexual noise, their partner/lover will think they are not enjoying sex, but that's not true. This is has led to many women faking orgasms through moaning, so people generally associate moaning with exceptional sexual performance. I would say be genuine and true to yourself, as your partner will most likely be disheartened if he realises your moans are fake.
