Funniest reason you got "the ick"...

A fair few years ago, I was with a really hot bloke from the Netherlands. Tall, dark haired and really good looking. He was also nicely endowed in more intimate areas.

We'd had sex a couple of times and were just learning what we both liked etc. Third occasion is in full swing, and he's on top. He pauses for a minute, and let's out a really loud fart which ordinarily wouldn't be an issue because they're funny. It was really nasty and we had to stop so I could open a window. Fortunately we weren't being loud.

We're getting back into things and I can tell he's getting close but he starts moaning really loudly because he's ALSO farting really loudly and is trying to hide it by moaning like a porn star, and then there's the fact that he can't hide the smell, and it hits me again and the over performative moaning/the actual farting, and the fact that the entire street must have heard him, meant I just couldn't do anything but laugh and gag.

Neither one of us finished and he was mortified. I couldn't stop giggling. It made him sulk. I couldn't help it.

Unfortunately, any sexual attraction I had, completely evaporated. Fortunately, his flight home was the next morning and I didn't have to spend days with him. We never met up again.

I feel your pain 🤮
I shared this story in another thread (under a different user name I think) about being in a therapy group years ago (in rehab if you must know! 🙈) and one of the facilitators had a really bad flaky skin condition all over her face and hands..I genuinely wouldn’t have given it another thought, other than maybe “poor love that must be horrible to live with” except she spent the entire 50 mins of the group picking the flakes off and gathering them in the edge of her top, much like one might collect apples. It was absolutely fucking disgusting, there was a great white pile on the edge of her leg, she was kind of shuffling it all into place. 🤢🤢🤢 l remember it to this day.
I relapsed out of that rehab, in part due to that sight (that bit i’m joking about 🤣)

This has reminded me of a non-boyfriend ick.

Colleague at desk opposite picked her ear and ate whatever she dug out. It wasn’t even candid (thinking nobody is watching), it was WHILE in a full blown conversation with another colleague.

Utterly gross!

post divorce and I had stupidly moved in with someone else 5 months later - first time I saw him fill a form in ( early 90s) and realised he had the writing of a 6 year old and struggled too to fill it in or spell . I feel incredibly guilty admitting I had the ick about it as anyone can have problems with this but it was at odds with his Jack the lad confident persona and he had never mentioned it at all. He turned out to have hidden quite a lot about himself including an 18 month ban that had expired for drink driving, a chronic booze problem and a propensity to steal off me. Took 3 years to escape!!

Haha so glad it’s not just me who gets the ick from their DH (whom I love immensely!)

Mine over-shivers. When he’s sick and shivery he shakes like crazy and does a weird Hannibal Lecter shivery noise. Drives me nuts.

The over shivers my god yes Grin and adds an occasional whimper

This. ^ I remember a bloke I was dating (dated him for about 3-4 weeks in my very late teens, he was 2 years older. I hadn't shagged him, and never did!) The subject of periods came up when he and I and a crowd of other people were in the pub. He said to me 'I bet it turns you on when you stick your tampon up you eh......?!' and grinned at me like a dopey simpleton. Like >>> Grin

I was like 'err no, not really.' He said' bet it makes you cum hard eh?' I was like 'no it fucking doesn't, and you must have a tiny cock if you think a woman is aroused by shoving her tampon in...! Hmm' Then I walked off, and left the pub and found some other people I knew. Never contacted him again. He never contacted me either, thank God! 😆 Weirdo! Who on earth assumes inserting a tampon is a turn on?! Confused

Oh, one more thing, I have had at least 3 men in the past assuming women have no feeling in their nipples. I have had blokes tweak and pinch them in the past, and then be really shocked when I've said 'OW! Fucking hell!' and shoved them away.

What a turn off. As has been said, some men are deeply unnattractive. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for you to catch on, but yep, some men are dreadful!

Nipples. They’re looking for Radio 1.

An ex-colleague at work was very anti-men. She used to freak out if anyone moved her desk chair (she specifically used to position it so she could tell if it had moved) and used to ask who had been sitting on her chair?

One day, a male colleague was assisting her with a query and took control of her computer mouse. You could see the anger in her face. As soon as he'd moved away, she announced she was cleaning her desk and used anti-bac on the mouse and desk that he'd touched.

If a man borrowed a pen to make a quick note, she'd throw the pen in the bin.

I guess men in general were her ick!

Told me he had to go offline (chatting on Facebook messenger I believe) to shower because he had a ‘stinky winky’.

He never did get to show me quite how stinky it got 🤢

Omg!

Mine does this weird, squinty thing with his eyes, like he can’t see. We even joke about it now when he’s getting a cold that his sight’s gonna go as well 🤣

Look at the size of their feet....

Like height - I dated a 6'4"("& a half") guy, and I joked to my friends that I knew where the half inch was!

mars62 · 11/04/2025 15:03

Why is it that some men think women like poems? Ex used to write out these excruciating poems like something from a cheap Hallmark card I don’t like poetry not even from actual real poets!!! I would cringe inside out when he presented them to me with a smug look on his face and I’d pretend they were great while squirming inside. He also had a light blue shiny waterproof jacket, while out a walk it started to rain and put the hood up and tied it under his chin looked like a bloody blue gnome that was the final straw haha

CamberwellCarrot78 · 11/04/2025 15:17

Oh I’ve just remembered another one and I know this makes me sound really shallow but it is funny and that’s what the OP was looking for…. Me and an ex in the mid 90s went to a music festival, I was in my late teens and he was a bit older, anyway he turned up with a really awful bag, like an old lady’s shopping bag, just awful and not even in an ‘ironic’ way, it was just really shit 🤣
oh yeah and he’d brought a packet of museli with him and a carton of uht milk. While me and the others we were with were drinking cider for breakfast and running around trying to get our hands on more drugs, soppy bollocks was eating his healthy breakfast like he was on holiday at Centre Parks. 🙈 I spent the whole weekend trying to avoid him, he was extremely embarrassing 😂. We broke up some time later thank god. Actually looking back he was 25 when I got together with him….and I was 17. That’s a whole other level of ick, even without the granny bag and the museli 🤢

You’ve just reminded me of another one… High School ‘prom’ although I’m not American or British so basically our final school dance. I got invited by a boy from another school to go as his partner to his end of year dance. I had mine on the Friday night and took my on and off again boyfriend. We had a wonderful time and only got to bed in the early hours of the morning. Had to then get all dressed up again for this other dance and while he was a decent enough guy during the dinner part of the evening, he arrived at the after party in a vest, shorts and flip flops ready to party the night away…. I ditched him and went to bed. I was too knackered from the night before to put up with that.

Feel bad to this day that he could invited someone a bit less fickle than me to his one and only high school dance.

Totally never using this account again 😆
Kept HIS dildo which he had to use to get off in the KITCHEN CUPBOARD.
I was 19 and stupid.

What and I cannot stress this enough - the FUCK?!

I asked him what he was up to (text) and he said he was just having a boogie round the kitchen

I can’t explain the ick that ran through me, it just did.

I agree- I had a 6'3" boyfriend with a little worm-like willy. It reminded me of a little finger.

He wasn't even that great but I was obsessed with him and convinced myself it was ok.

My dh won't take painkillers etc for his fibro & arthritic knees as he has diverticulitis & worries about aggravating his stomach UNTIL he gets a sniffle then I have to buy bloody Boots out. Cold & flu tablets, tissues, vapour rub, throat sweets, numerous hot toddies. Irritates the shit out of me!

It is SO disappointing isn't it?
Mine was a tall bronzed boy-babe with a melting smile.
Then he revealed it and you know how your mind thinks of things in quick succession in micro-seconds - well I was thinking Do I laugh? Do I cry? Do I run away? Do I lie here and hope?
My bestie told me it was payback for the mega one I'd "stolen" from her. (I hadn't really - we'd just wanted the same guy once before.)

Looking back I reaskise just how shallow I was and he was really a nice guy. But we went to McDonald’s and he had just finished his Labouring job and he ate his food without washing his hands and he had a long black coat with gold lininG
either one was a turn off but both together
we were maybe 18.

another one used to grope my boob whenever we kissed

and another dug his finger in my ear when he kissed me.

all late teenagers

Probably time to stop pulling teenagers 😂

You must have been lucky and had one of the few pieces of decent jewellery then, as remember the owner being called out for actually saying that the stuff they sold was crap 😂

Oh yes, they were lovely! A tiny but perfectly formed pair of little figure skates on a necklace, and matching drop skate earrings. Sterling silver. I was only 12. God knows what happened to them.

Bobbie1976 · 12/04/2025 17:33

Can’t believe I forgot this one. My neighbour talks to lawnmower like he’s a cowboy at a rodeo. Constant shouts of “YEAH!” and “COME ON ATTABOY!” and “WHOA!”
