The sound most likely occurs due to the resonations of the steel used within the screws and beams on your bed. Repeated movement causes the steel members to slide against each other, but not smoothly. The frequency between these slides begins to mimic actual sounds when interpreted by the human ear, especially those of young children, who's auditory senses are quite acute. You'll probably notice that the bed illicits these particular sounds and higher or lower frequencies depending upon the swiftness of the thrusts, and depth of thrusting magnitute. both of these factors effect the speed at which the members slide against one another, and the distance through which the "slide" occurs, thus magnifying the sounds. Luckily beds are created on a frame in which the points of intersection between members exert the forces against rotation. Consequently, the moment created while thrusting from the "long" end of the bed creates greater foot-pounds of force, which are in turn exterted on the intersections between members, which slide against one another at a specific frequency to mimic sound throughout the angle of movement.
In order to avoid this:
Bang her from the side of the bed.
Another problem solved by Matt. Thank you.
And thank you again. 8^)

You're a climber. Rig up some pulleys, ropes and harnesses and swing in symbiotic unison. I'm sure it's near silent.

try putting rubber washers of some sort between the joins so it's not steel on steel.

Had the same prob. WD-40d the joints in the frame... basically just douse all 4 corners and you should be set.

That would be his female friend. I don't know whether spraying her with WD-40 would help though. :wink:

*shrug* looks like you're just gonna have to settle for the backseat of your car in some deserted parking lot.
there's something oddly romantic about a cold seatbelt pressing against your back and the slapping of flesh on leather upholstery.

Are you sure it's the bed that squeeks? Maybe a little foreplay is in order.
