Do men really do this?

I recently went on a date (we didn't have sex) I really liked him, we got talking about how long we've been single etc

He told me today that he's had sex with a few women recently, he didn't fancy any of them - in fact he found them unattractive. He was drunk but even when drunk didn't fancy them.

I asked him how on earth did he get hard, stay hard to "perform" and finish if he didn't like them? Also he said he gave them foreplay so why would he touch someone's body he didn't like? He said he didn't really like their bodies either...

Anyway he said all men do this for different reasons,

Now I want to give up dating.

AIBU?

Bet you're glad you didn't have sex with him.
If you do in spite of all this, at least you know the type of person you're getting.

Lots of men will shag just about anything. Beer goggles is part of it.

About 25 years ago, I had a drunken one night stand with a colleague, and we ended up going out on a actual proper date months later. After ending up in bed again, he said to me: "You have amazed me. I never thought I could fancy a fat woman". I was a size 14. Yes, it seems, men will shag absolutely anything.

Some do, he's been very honest,

But he's used women for sex.

Which is foul.

Why’d he use them? I mean isn’t having a one night stand always “using” someone for sex? The women weren’t expecting marriage?

if you have a one night stand but think about, I dunno, giraffes or mushrooms or what you’re having for dinner, is it the business of the other person? Not really.

this man had sex with women who didn’t ask anything of him, other than sex. He did it. Does it make any difference if he really fancies them or not?

I think it's just so weird to discuss. The way he made it sound was that he got hard before he was even touched, but not because of the woman? He didn't like her body or her face and didn't want to sleep with her. But he did anyway because he was drunk? What nonsense is this lol. I just don't understand the mechanics of it!

I think the most bizarre thing is he admitted this on a first date -I doubt he has many second dates!

Not surprised at his attitude - when I was a student I used to live in a red light area where some of the women looked like zombies Sad They were unclean, undernourished - clearly very fucking vulnerable; didn't stop the cars pulling up - and probably most of those men had wives/GFs at home!

I worked with a man in a LTR who said when having sex with his partner he regularly thought about other women - maybe they all do? I don't understand it really; my brain isn't that powerful to imagine Tom Hardy to get wet for Andrew Tate 🤢

I'm a female and, after a dry spell, had
sex with someone I didn't fancy. It wasn't the worst tbh. It was more of a spur of the moment thing. I guess for guys it's still enjoyable? But does seem more common for men to do it (repeatedly). Men are weird.

Exactly the same with me. I think it’s quite backwards that all these women are saying only men can use women for sex and that they’re gross for sleeping with someone they don’t absolutely fancy the pants off.

TotalAbsenceOfImperialRaiment · 21/01/2024 17:14

Arranged marriages between complete strangers have been common throughout history. Most of them were consummated, whether or not the parties fancied each other. Though apparently Henry VIII couldn't get it up for Anne of Cleves.

Flamingogirl08 · 21/01/2024 14:31

I thought it was common knowledge that some men do that.

So did I actually but I thought this line of convo would be with other men as 'banter' on a lads' night out. Certainly not to other women whilst on a date 😐

Gillypie23 · 21/01/2024 17:07

Most men do. Any hole is a goal!

CoffeeMachineNewbie · 21/01/2024 17:06

Same principle as a prostitute with respect to not fancying them.

Part of me wonders if men like this get off on the power they think they have by conquering a woman knowing that they feel nothing for them. Sort of like how rape is often about power.

AgathaX · 21/01/2024 17:01

Well he's quite the catch.

I'm not really sure why you enabled him to tell you all this though. Didn't you want to just walk away?

Goldenpashmina · 21/01/2024 16:58

It just sounds like he's being honest, I don't know why PP's are assuming the women weren't also OK with the arrangement and were being manipulated?

Some men and some women just enjoy sex or get caught up in the moment, they don't have to always be super attracted to each other or planning to marry 🙄

Obviously if you aren't cool with this element of his past/ present then it gives you your answer about this particular man

Gettingnowhereagain · 21/01/2024 16:57

Maybe the women felt the same about him and used him for sex?

Greensleevevssnotnose · 21/01/2024 16:57

My ex told me after midnight when clubbing ' any hole is the goal ' delightful

DH had sex with someone we both vaguely knew a couple of months before we got together, despite disliking her. I asked why, and he and his best friend both said "better than wanking".

And that didn't put you off?

OP it's interesting what gets said when men are being honest. I don't date btw.

SallyWD · 21/01/2024 16:57

It's no surprise. Some men just use a women's body to masturbate on. They might even find it a weird turn on that they don't fancy them. Honestly, I've heard of men having sex with melons, animals, you name it.

edissa · 21/01/2024 16:56

They are if you consider the entire purpose being to derive physical pleasure. You don’t have to fancy someone to get that from sex with them.

See, I do. Someone who I didn't remotely fancy trying to physically arouse me would do nothing for me at all, my body would simply shut down. For me physical attraction and sexual arousal are so intertwined I cannot fathom being aroused by someone who didn't physically appeal to me.

Nonomono · 21/01/2024 16:54

I think it’s very weird that he discussed this with you on a date!

But I’m not surprised at this at all.

I know many men (and a few women) who will have sex, just to have sex.

I actually ended a new relationship after I found out who he’d had sex with.
It was literally anyone and he’d go to sex clubs and have sex with multiple women, many of which were 30 years older and extremely unattractive.

Someone having sex with just anything really gives me the ick.

It’s one reason why I’d never have sex after the first date or 2, because many men are on the dating sites just for sex and then will ghost you afterwards.

Moveoverdarlin · 21/01/2024 16:45

When I was younger and single I sometimes had sex with people I didn’t really fancy. Not sure why? Bit drunk, to make someone else jealous, peer pressure from friends, bit desperate, people constantly telling me I’m too fussy so I would lower my standards. I certainly didn’t find them repulsive, but yeah some might have been a bit fat, dodgy teeth. I also slept with very good looking people. I don’t think that it’s particularly weird, not everyone is marriage material, sometimes you just want a shag.

What is weird is that he told you this.

Like some women (ages 17-40s)according to another thread- enjoy going to hen parties, getting pissed, being blindfolded and feeling up the bodies of hired naked men (who are acting as butlers), looking for a plaster that has been stuck somewhere on their anatomy. Just for a 'bit of comedic fun' apparently. People have very strange sexual mores it seems.

I'll agree that masturbation and sex are very different, but I don't really see why it follows that that means that you have to fancy someone to have sex with them? I

Well, your comment read as though as you were comparing having sex with someone you don't find attractive with using your hand, when you said: Its not like I particularly fancy my right hand either, but it gets the job done.

My point was that they're not comparable at all.

They are if you consider the entire purpose being to derive physical pleasure. You don’t have to fancy someone to get that from sex with them.

I had this conversation many years ago with a boyfriend. His comment was "you don't need to look at the mantlepiece when you're stoking the fire". Lovely!

Any port in a storm

Your not shagging the face etc.

as pp has stated men view sex differently its animalistic with men

Sd1960 · 21/01/2024 16:35

He was drunk. They might have used him.
