Watching Sextape on C4 after catching a glimpse on Gogglebox 🙈

Aibu to think if that's how half the country shag and think they're having 'good sex' - it's no wonder so many of us are totally miserable or not that fussed about it 😂

That stupid woman's giggle would make me lose my hard-on and I don't even a c*ck 😳

Oh god I saw that program advertised and just thought why? Why would you go on there? I imagine the people who go on it aren't the general population at all.

And if they're having good sex, why are they on there at all? Is it like X factor for porn or something? God help us 😂.

@cupohtea it is so painful to watch. If someone tried to have at it with me like some of them are I'd be giving them a few home truths and some afterdark one on one tutoring 😂

So cringeworthy!

I've only seen the first 2 but in those they were clearly keeping themselves covered and getting it done quickly as a result of the cameras. I assume they don't have sex with duvets over their heads all the time!

PortiaCastis · 11/05/2019 12:37

How can anyone enjoy sex with the cameras rolling

SneakyGremlins · 11/05/2019 12:38

@PortiaCastis You mean there isn't a camera crew ready to appear whenever you're in bed with someone? Grin

Purplecatshopaholic · 11/05/2019 12:48

I have recorded it but not sure I can bring myself to watch it - even less sure now!

OldAndWornOut · 11/05/2019 12:51

It always looks a bit 'Carry On Film' to me.
Lots of giggling and legs shaking under the covers.
Phwoar!

JaneEyre07 · 11/05/2019 13:01

It's appalling.

DH and I watched in fascinated horror. The one last night was just awful beyond words.

They're either very brave. Or paid.

clairemcnam · 11/05/2019 13:03

They are massive exhibitionists. Hardly representative of the general population.

Lovemusic33 · 11/05/2019 13:06

I have been watching it too, it makes me cringe a little. Yes, it does make me think everyone’s having shit sex, I’m sure not all couples are like this but probably a lot of them. I think it’s easy to get stuck in the same boring routine and it becomes a chore. I’m glad I’m single, I was married for 12 years and the sex was miserable (same old position, vanilla and boring), I lost my sex drive completely until he moved out. The best sex I have had is in my 30’s, I worry about getting into a long term relationship if this is how things end up.

Lovemusic33 · 11/05/2019 13:08

And the man that liked being walk on with high heals was just a selfish bastard.

Or possibly just keen to explore the potential health benefits of accupuncture....

I split up with an ex because the sex was boring, as he was too. I realised if I felt like this after two years, it was not going to be any better twenty years later.
My DP and I have been together over 25 years and still have good sex. No fetishes, but we know how to please each other, and it is never boring.

Sometimes an orgasm is just an orgasm, no acrobatics complete with bells and whistles.

Fiveredbricks · 11/05/2019 13:17

@clairemcnam they're not though. It's all under the duvets and behind fridge doors 😂

Exhibitionists tend to do it against the hotel room window with the curtains open. (Not that'd I'd know Blush ahem)

Fiveredbricks · 11/05/2019 13:17

If you're using sex and your partner for just an orgasm @justasking111 you're doing it wrong. That is what a wank is for 👌

clairemcnam · 11/05/2019 13:19

Can't stand exhibitionists. They are involving other people against their will, in their sex life.
I haven't watched it. And I don't believe that the type of couples on a show like this are representative of the general population. They are as representative as the kind of people on any reality show like Big Brother i.e. not at all.

OldAndWornOut · 11/05/2019 13:19

Which hotel would that be?

justasking111 · 11/05/2019 13:23

In a real relationship, it is about closeness, caring about each other, a way to leave RL life behind for a bit and enjoy each other. Sometimes it is a full on session, sometimes just a quickie before the DC`s turn up or you fall asleep from exhaustion created by a full day at work etc.

You started as a couple so need to remind each other of that sometimes.

SausageSimon · 11/05/2019 13:33

I'm dying to know what is so bad about it? What is it they're actually doing? I haven't watched it because it sounds terrible but I'm curious as to what's bad about the sex Grin

Fiveredbricks · 11/05/2019 13:34

Watch it @SausageSimon it's pretty self evident

@OldAndWornOut any with floor to ceiling windows and a good scenic view 😁

I remember being blown away (ahem) by how good my husband was at sex the first time we did it. It was a whole different level to the men I had slept with before.

My experience as a bisexual is that women are better at it than men. But my husband is by far the best I’ve ever had so maybe I just got lucky with my female partners.

Either way I expect loads of people across the country are suffering through terrible sex and that is a real shame.

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 11/05/2019 14:02

I'd happily suffer through almost any kind of sex right now makes whimpering noises about lack of sex and intimacy with partner

Fiveredbricks · 11/05/2019 14:38

@BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty fix it or leave. And I know 'it's not that easy', but really, it is. Don't settle for less if you want or need it. Life is too short for shit sex and a lack of intimacy.
