Interesting. "rips the orgasm right out of you" doesn't actually sound enjoyable, but I suspect that's just the language of it. I usually associate noise with noise in other contexts, it's inefficiency. Making noise is usually a distraction that is taking something away from my enjoyment of what I am doing. Noise takes focus. It's like noisy motorcycles; I hear them and I think, ah the noise is a sign of inefficiency, energy that is not going toward speed and movement.

Although I have not tried a hitachi wand, so I don't feel qualified to say how I'd react. Obviously with sex, there will be a lot of variation.

I just found the scenario interesting, because I really couldn't think of a context where I'd be screaming and enjoying myself. I'd more likely be annoyed or in pain if I was screaming, possibly really angry, which are all things I do not have positive associations for, and seem like I would particularly dislike if I was tied up. But if you take out the screaming, then it might be quite nice.

I mean, I could do it and just scream for form's sake, but that does seem a little silly.
