To suppose that working class men are better in bed?

So, I was just generally perusing the middle class thread, becoming ever more incredulous that anybody would aspire to be anything even slightly synonymous with mediocre when it dawned on me....

Every upper middle/middle class man I've ever had carnal knowledge of was a bit of a let down.

Is this a documented phenomenon?

Or have I just had the good fortune of knowing a few too many well endowed, manually dextrous ruffians?

I think British men are the best lovers regardless of class. And snoggers. Honestly don't know where the Italians and French get their hot in the sack reputation from. Mystery.

Grin PD still here. Still constantly Confused

NameChange30 · 13/09/2015 20:05

RickOShay I can assure you my French DH is wonderful in bed (can't believe I'm joining in the boasting but I feel the need to defend him!)

NameChange30 · 13/09/2015 20:06

Never slept with an Italian though. Never felt the need, they're too short and arrogant.

RickOShay · 13/09/2015 20:11

I think he must be the exception that proves the rule Emma
I lived inItaly for five years. They do not feature on the best shags of my life lists.

NameChange30 · 13/09/2015 20:22

I can believe it - as I said, short and arrogant. So I guess they have tiny dicks and are selfish in bed.

I refuse to accept your argument about French men though. It's no accident I married one, I've always found French men attractive. No real experience apart from DH but there are a few other French men I know that I'd like to think could prove you wrong

I've sampled enough willy to feel fairly confident in this statement - there is no correlation to be made between talent and social class.

PacificDogwod · 13/09/2015 20:26

Well, I am constantly Confused AND Shock.

But I stay for the Grin

My worst shag was Portugese: selfish in bed, not well endowed AND had hydraulic problems. Poor guy. Where is he now? not

Boarding school is very bad. Shared dorms so you can't even have a wank. Lots of repressed sexuality directed at inappropriate things like matrons and inanimate objects.

Crane drivers. They spend a lot of time sitting alone not interacting with anybody whilst swinging a large rather phallic piece of metal around in the air. They tend to have a similar bedroom technique. And they never know how to do anything properly unless they have a slinger to tell them where to put things.

OutToGetYou · 13/09/2015 20:43

I've always hankered after a philatelist myself....

laureywilliams · 13/09/2015 20:43

So assuming the OP's hypothesis is true I wonder if levels of competency can be predicted more accurately.

Is a bricklayer going to be a much better shag than a corgi registered boiler fitter for example?

laureywilliams · 13/09/2015 20:45

Kanye thanks for your carefully considered analysis - sounds like you've invested years of experience!!!

IJustLostTheGame · 13/09/2015 20:46

This thread is totally cracking me up.

patterkiller · 13/09/2015 20:49

I always consult checkatrade for credentials and recommendations. I thought everyone did?

Mrsjayy · 13/09/2015 20:59

I always consult checkatrade

Oh stop it Grin

mrstweefromtweesville · 13/09/2015 20:59

My dad was a bricklayer/builder, and the things my mother said about him wouldn't recommend him at all. He doesn't read MN, thank goodness.

tomatodizzymum · 13/09/2015 21:01

Not sure...but my general personal sex fact is that the biggest and smallest dicks I have ever seen in my life both belonged to Canadians. I thought that was interesting not sure why

For the last 20 years I've slept with a brazilian (nationality not George Bush number). Who has gone from pen pusher to cattle rancher. Have to admit the manual labour, 6 o clock shadow, tanned version of the same man is much hotter.

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 13/09/2015 21:03

I've only ever shagged working class blokes (lucky me) but I did snog a middle class lad once. He was a very gentle kisser but I think he'd have been boring in bed, he wore chinos.

NameChange30 · 13/09/2015 21:05

"He was very gentle kisser but I think he'd have been boring in bed, he wore chinos."

Ah ha ha! I recently persuaded DH to buy a pair of chinos (his first ever). What have I done?!

Mrsjayy · 13/09/2015 21:06

Ooo cattle Rancher thats much better than a corgi registered gas engineer that im married to

LilacSpunkMonkey · 13/09/2015 21:06

I want a Brazilian cattle rancher now. That's not fair.

This thread is making me snigger, our foreman has a Hmm look as I'm supposed to be doing the accounts.

I think YABU, as others have said, no correlation. I also feel qualified and to add some extra experience, I have worked and shagged all over the world so feel able to offer a multicultural perspective Grin.

We live in south america and people are less focussed on class where we are, but our foreman is an ex partner of mine (from quite a few years ago), so perhaps what would be termed working class. I had no complaints there, none at all.

My ex fiance was an army general (in a communist country so no real class ideals), was thirty years older than me but was absolutely mindblowingly amazing in bed, it was the stuff dirty romance novels were made from.

My first lover (discounting sexual abuse) was Saudi Arabian and was obscenely wealthy, he was also amazing in bed.

My DH is upper class, and he is amazing in bed too, feel the need to defend him on that one.
