Here's the easy way:
1. follow the up to date adult guide

2. Install NSFW Soundpack, link is in the guide.

3. make wav files of the sounds you want, based on the file structure in that mod.  For example, if you don't like the gasp sounds, then go to this file structure in your mod manager and replace the sound you don't like with a wav file of the same name.  "VLC" is a good player for sound, and "Audacity" is a great free sound editor.

That's probably the easiest way I can think of to accomplish what the OP was asking.  Maybe it helps you, too.

Thank you i will look into that soon i kind of already did that yesterday with the leto sounds because they already had waw files (so uncompressed ) i used this tool to generate waw files same as the curie companion ( now i need to figure out why they are so silent ingame)also found a video how to add sound to dialogue quest. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/49340?tab=description

Moans or Sound Effects?
If Moans, and if you're comfortable with XML editing, here's how I learned to do it.

 

I use Custom Moans 1.2, so you'll have to grab it from on here somewhere. The author details how to add your own voicefiles if the included ones are lacking. Basically a copy&paste>replace job.

 

Open it's ActionData.xml under the AAF folder. You'll see these among everything else:

Spoiler

 

<action id="CustomMoans01 Action">
<action id="CustomMoans02 Action">
<action id="CustomAggMoans Action">

 

These are your options. AggMoans is suitable for aggressive animations, the other two are voice variations. You can check those out in the sound files.

 

Next find any AnimationData.xml for whichever animation you want to add sounds to. I'm gonna use Leito and the cowgirl_4 animation as an example.

The file is named Leito_AnimatioData.xml, just be aware you are possibly, likely, plausibly, like most likely using a patch that makes the file obsolete. In that case you'd have to edit the relevant file instead.

 

The section we're gonna edit in the XML looks like this:

<!------------------------------------- LEITO COWGIRL 4 ------------------------------------->

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S1" frames="350">
	<actor gender="F">
		<idle form="0100A899" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S1"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89D" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S1"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S2" frames="340">
	<actor gender="F">
		<idle form="0100A89A" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S2"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89E" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S2"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S3" frames="330">
	<actor gender="F">
		<idle form="0100A89B" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S3"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89F" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S3"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S4" frames="280">
	<actor gender="F" stopOverlaySet="Belly">
		<idle form="0100A89C" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S4"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A8A0" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S4"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

 

Under <actor gender="F">, add this action: <action id="CustomMoans01 Action" target="0" loop="true" from="1" to="0" frames="8.555"/>.

Now this section of the leito_AnimationData.xml should look like this:
 

Spoiler

<!------------------------------------- LEITO COWGIRL 4 ------------------------------------->

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S1" frames="350">
	<actor gender="F">
		<action id="CustomMoans01 Action" target="0" loop="true" from="1" to="0" frames="8.555"/>
		<idle form="0100A899" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S1"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89D" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S1"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S2" frames="340">
	<actor gender="F">
		<action id="CustomMoans01 Action" target="0" loop="true" from="1" to="0" frames="8.555"/>
		<idle form="0100A89A" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S2"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89E" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S2"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S3" frames="330">
	<actor gender="F">
		<action id="CustomMoans01 Action" target="0" loop="true" from="1" to="0" frames="8.555"/>
		<idle form="0100A89B" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S3"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A89F" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S3"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

<animation id="Leito_Cowgirl_4_S4" frames="280">
	<actor gender="F" stopOverlaySet="Belly">
		<action id="CustomMoans01 Action" target="0" loop="true" from="1" to="0" frames="8.555"/>
		<idle form="0100A89C" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A1_S4"/>
	</actor>
	<actor gender="M">
		<idle form="0100A8A0" id="LeitoCowgirl4_A2_S4"/>
	</actor>
</animation>

 

So basically just add the action underneath whichever <actor gender="x"> you want to play the sound. Leave the rest untouched unless you want to do more.

 

Then you should have sound for this particular AnimationSet. Just replace CustomMoans01 with 02 or AggMoans. Do this for any animation you find lacking sound and you should be golden.

A bunch of those sounds in the NFSW pack I pulled from...err...videos that I have, using audacity (and the rest are from Skryim mods, used with permission). 

 

If you end up making a bunch of replacements that are better, or different but still good, it would not hurt to make a replacer pack and upload it for other people. These things, they are very dependent on a persons taste.
