Mumsnet Talk

Not sure about the porn thing. I think it's pretty unusual for porn (straight porn, at least) to feature men having things shoved up their own bum. At the very least it indicates a general liking of anal, rather than the stereotype of "anal as misogynist aggression against women".

But I agree with previous posters that I wouldn't want that kind of pressure on a first date - or a relationship with someone who thought it was appropriate. Sex is very personal and noone deserves to be made to feel there's something wrong with them by their partner for what they want or don't want.

two words : lucky & escape

How very odd. You should of twatted him round the head with his dildo.

I'm with cogito on this. The acts requested are by the by. It's the relentless pestering and insults on refusal that are the big red flags here. Sounds like he has a very unhealthy attitude towards women. Well done for walking away.

I don't get the idea of anal at all. wouldn't it hurt like *&^%. i don't mean tip of a finger but you know, a penis up your bum. That would HURT.
Give me vanilla. Not ashamed to say it. I'm angry on your behalf OP. what a fucker. it's so scary trying to get out there. You did it, and this is what landed on you.

sounds like an awful night out. what a weirdo. lol at poster saying he'd be repressed about a gang of men having anal with him, how about a gang of prisoners? no? repressed.
definitely a porn user looking for a body not a person.

My curiosity got the better of me so I googled anal douche - didn't see any pictures though thankfully!! It is basically an enema so is recommended to do this before anal sex in order to ensure you are nice and clean in case of leakages! I know some women like anal but personally leaves me cold ... He sounds a right twat to say the least op, glad you got out of the date x

I still have no idea what a douche is.

even more apologies from me now - there's no bizarre post from me earlier. I must have pressed the wrong button. Oops!

apologies for my bizarre post a minute ago - too much wine and I can't stop laughing at the thought of tickling a hobbit with a lettuce!!

I'd say he was looking for a woman to re-enact his favourite porn scenes, the person didn't matter, just a body to perform, to be performed on/with.
His issues, his problems.
Glad you are ok and hope that it hasn't put you off internet dating.

I'm ok thanks.

I suspect he was a big porn user actually.

I'm very pleased you dressed and left. I suspect he's managed to harangue a few women into doing what he wanted...and they felt really upset and abused for a long time afterwards. Nasty piece of work

Agree with Cognito and also what Erik wrote... I'd be quite shaken up by that OP, are you feeling a bit shaky?

Yes, let's be very clear, it's not what he wanted that's the problem. Even if his desires had been in the realm of dressing up as a hobbit and wanting you to tickle his ears with a lettuce, that would still have been 'whatever turns you on.'

The problem is that he was rude and snotty about the fact that you weren't into his style of sex - and I do actually think he may have form for coercive behaviour. However, you can't report a man to the police for being rude to you in this situation.

Not loving the use of the word "normal" tbh. It's not ABnormal to want anal sex.

It is abnormal to pester for it and criticise someone who does not want it because it IS a matter of preference (as is everything) and that should be respected.

It's perfectly "normal" but not for everyone

Hope you're OK OP.

Yuck. What a wanker. Glad you told him where to stick it, if you'll forgive the pun

Nothing wrong with what he was wanted to do but to call you names for not wanting to is wrong and for the first time, really wrong.

You need to build up to this type of thing in a mutually good sex life with someone first.

Take it you will dump him and move on.

An 'Anal Douche'... you really learn something new every day on Mumsnet, don't you?

OP, poor you. That sounds like a horrible experience. Move on.

Wanting something shoved up your arse as a man has absolutely nothing to do with being gay unless you would like a man do to the shoving, what a stupid assumption

He does sound like a self entitled tosser, that said. I hope you give him a wide berth from now on.

Are you OK OP?

Cog no, not just you. The type of sex requested is neither here nor there.

What's important in this is that we're talking about a man who's got no respect for boundaries or consent. Nasty little fuckers like him use coerced consent as a tactic to avoid an allegation of assault. Who knows how many less confident women have agreed to stuff they didn't want to do, for fear of being called names? But don't report it to the police because at the time they appeared to 'consent' and so don't think they've got a leg to stand on?

Nothing weird per se about any of the sexual activities he suggested. However, they require both trust and enthusiastic participation of both parties. This man was a bully and a potential sexual abuser - trying to coerce you into anything whatsoever is a huge red flag for abuse. He's also clearly a terrible lover who sees sex as all about him doing what he wants to another body, not a mutual and reciprocal fun time.

I'm not commenting on his different preferences. I'm reacting to the aggressive pressure, coercion and then nasty accusations that followed. Any man that thinks that is a normal or acceptable way to treat a sexual partner is bloody dangerous.

Definitely don't agree with maleview. Lots of men like anal stimulation.

However, the pestering here is very disturbing.
