DH is quite shy really and does not say too much in the bedroom.

But when he has had a drink or two he is more able to say what he likes/wants.

Does anyone else find this and do you find this strange and wish he could eb confident without the drink?

My OH doesn't drink, but I'm definitely a different person in the bedroom when I've had a drink or two (and I don't mean I started sorting my wardrobe out for a change).

I don't know if my OH particularly like me having a drink or two, but it depends on the quality and whether he wants Mary-Ellen Walton or Angelina Jolie in bed. I was brought up to think there was probably no such thing as sex - and if there WAS such a thing, it would be rude.
He probably can't help it, and by having a drink he might be trying to make it more exciting for you - it isn't a reflection on you, IMHO.

Aren't most men crap in the bedroom after a few drinks?

That's just the brewers droop cornsilk, you need to catch the moment when inhibitions are lost and before lethergy takes over.

I don't think its strange or unusual if you're want you could approach things more gradually and openly when sober. But often a swift pint gives the short cut to confidence.

Its up to you. Short cut or gradual but longer lasting. I think.

Lol yeah - he's definitely more 'adventurous'! I never used to have sex with him when he had been drinking because he's a bit clumsy and beery - but we gave it a go and it rocked!!! He's not exactly shy in the bedroom but he's quite conventional, and he came with hangups from his upbringing that are less prominent when he's drunk!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
