I really really hate the pictures depicting sex with two pairs of feet sticking out of the bed

It makes me cringe so much. You know the ones, one bigger pair of feet a smaller pair with him obviously on top. Anyone else agree?

Doesn't bother me

TheSecondOfHerName · 06/08/2017 14:43

Would you prefer a different POV? Such as what? They can't exactly show a close-up of genital action...

bumblebee50 · 06/08/2017 14:44

I don't know but I hate feet anyway.

Hairy testicles slapping against their lady companion?

MaidOfStars · 06/08/2017 14:45

It doesn't bother me.

Although I have just realised that my husband and I never have sex under covers.

Yes! YANBU. Such a cliche.

Ah, you're my sort of person Grin.

It annoys me on a few levels. Usually the feet are 'wrong' (girl together, man apart - how the heck are they actually shagging?), no one actually shags under a duvet as it's too warm/awkward and the fact it's a picture of people's ugly bloody feet to supposedly signify sex. All a bit odd, but I guess it's inoffensive but 'obvious'.

Dustbunny1900 · 06/08/2017 14:50

Yep sets my teeth on edge. Feels cutesy and cliche.

MaidOfStars · 06/08/2017 14:54

girl together, man apart - how the heck are they actually shagging?
Hmm
It's a very common way to maximise friction, especially with CAT.

TheSecondOfHerName · 06/08/2017 14:59

How about this photo, OP? At least the feet are at interesting angles.

What bothers me is that either the duvet is too short, or they must have it pulled over their heads.

MaidOfStars I meant in the cliched 'lovemaking' way that is meant to be portrayed. I'm quite aware people have sex in different ways, thanks.

HadronCollider · 06/08/2017 15:11

Yes me too! I loathe it. Its so.....crass. There's just something about it. I think it's just vulgar and I have no idea who started the trend, but a curse on them!!! You are defo NOT being unreasonable. I thought it was just me.

alpacasandwich · 06/08/2017 15:17

I don't mind, but I have a thing for awkward stock photos... www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/60-completely-unusable-stock-photos?utm_term=.al5awP#.klYv51

Your heating must be a lot more efficient than ours (ooh, Matron) Wink

CauliflowerSqueeze · 06/08/2017 15:20

Thesecond I can't work out how those feet have managed those positions?? Could it be a threesome with some missing feet

ALLthedinosaurs · 06/08/2017 15:22

Those stock photos are amazing. Chuffed bum-willy man... Hitler-potato-girl!

Why do they exist? Also I'm pretty sure I know double-ice-lolly-lady

hackmum · 06/08/2017 15:32

I always find those irritating too.

Tastesjustlikecherrycola85 · 06/08/2017 19:26

Those feet have definitely been on the footner Grin

Flopjustwantscoffee · 06/08/2017 19:38

ALLthedinosaurs . Number 53 is actually a lot less unusable than you would think (the kind of photo that you might see adorning a supermarket poster round November time :( )

Flopjustwantscoffee · 06/08/2017 19:40

But I also always wonder with the stock photos of feet- .do they use actual people or fake feet that they position. And if actual people how awkward would that be to photograph? And do they put out adverts saying foot model needed? And audition for the nicest feet? So many questions...

amermaideindesguise · 06/08/2017 19:45

yeah i hate them aswell. total cliche

Nancy91 · 06/08/2017 19:48

If your feet aren't under the quilt monsters will get them. It's not safe.

CremeFresh · 06/08/2017 19:51

dinosaurs I thought I recognised two lolly lady too . Where could we know her from , tv maybe ?

amermaideindesguise · 06/08/2017 19:52

Nancy91 that only applies when your sleeping the monsters dont grab your feet during sex 😀

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 06/08/2017 19:57
