The Neighbors are having wild passionate, and very LOUD, sex. [SOLVED]
Okay, I live in this big complex of apartments. Next door is an even bigger complex of apartments. So...like...every night for the past three weeks or so, some young couple in the area has been making love like two god damn stallions. At 2 or 3 in the morning. Every god damn night.
I mean, more power to them and all, but I need some sleep, and their gasps, grunts, and moans is making that difficult.
What should I do here? Start leaving anonymous notes on doors?

No anonymous notes. They are terrible. Just knock on their door and politely ask them to keep it down that late at night. If they are really rude about it and it keeps going on, inform the apartment management.
This has nothing to do with being freaked out by people having sex and everything to do with not wanting loud noises at 3am
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I don't actually know specifically what apartment these people are living in. I mean, judging from the shear volume I'm sure it's close, but I don't know where exactly. So I was going to leave a note on the front door of both apartment buildings. But now that does strike me as a bit classless.
When my roommate first started having loud sex at our place, I turned some techno up pretty loud to mask the sounds while keeping it rhythmic enough that I hoped it wouldn't annoy anyone. :P About three minutes later I received a text message from said roommate, "Please turn down your music."
I recommend stalking up and down the hall till you figure out which place it is, then bursting through the door in a gimp suit.
No way I could directly confront someone over this
when it starts just start shouting, at the top of your lungs
"STOP
STOP IT
STOP HAVING SEX
I AM TRYING TO SLEEP
STOP IT"
What's your brilliant plan for when he gets shit for making even more noise at three in the morning?
OP, call the managers of the two buildings (assuming they're run by different entities). Explain what's been happening, and that you're not sure where, exactly, the noise is coming from. If you can get some other people to complain as well, that'll help your case. You may have to pester them a little bit, but eventually they should investigate and/or take action. Probably this will consist of passing out notes to their tenants.

Knock on both doors and say the same thing to whoever answers:
"Excuse me, I'm your neighbour from XXX. I'm not sure if I have the right apartment, but every night for the past little while I havn't been able to sleep because of extremely loud noises coming from an apartment next to me. If it is you, could you keep it down?"
Chances are that both apartments will deny it, but the noise should stop. The couple will likely get a huge laugh out of the situation, knowing full well you know that the noises were them having sex but didn't explicitly say it.
We had people in the building next to us and one floor up who did this. We tried going the landlord route, they said they'd talk to the tenants but nothing really changed. So, one night when my wife and I were woken up by it once again, we just parroted it. We sat by our windows and made the exact same noises back. It only took about 10 seconds before they went silent, then we heard windows closing. Didn't happen again after that.
Extra points for including the pop-up in spoiler tags!
For the OP... its as simple as filing any other noise complaint. You can take it upon yourself to ask them to stop or ask the landlord to take care of it. Whatever you're more comfortable with.

1. Leave a note and... ball gags.
2. Knock on their door, talk to them about it and ask if you can join.
3. Invite friends over for a loud orgy.
I can go on but in the end it's best you talk to them face to face and ask them to tone it down.

It helps if you do something like punch yourself in the face whilst in the act.

Actually, what matthasaproblem said.
P.S. This was funny to me:
I wonder if the "Question about Catholics" or "If I like Eddie Izzard" threads also fit on that list.
That's awesome

Edit the buying the bed topic and the gf moving in topic to have "[SOLVED]" in front of them and then it would be aces.

But I like the idea of living out an xkcd comic in real life. Plan B? Oh yes.
