Telling each other that we’re… arriving

Just for fun really. DP and I have had this discussion before, and it occurred again earlier.

Neither of us are noisy during sex, but as he finishes, he always gives me advance notice and tells me it’s about to happen. He says he’s doing it out of politeness, and that I should do the same.

Politeness!

Frankly the last thing I’m thinking about in that moment is being fucking polite! I never announce it. He says he can’t tell when it happens and wants to know.

Is announcing it a conscious thing? I guess some people say it in the moment or if they don’t want their partner to stop, but surely not whilst thinking ‘Oh I’d better let the other person know so that they won’t think me rude…’

Does he need to know? Am I really being impolite?! I wouldn’t care if he didn’t tell me in advance. The bloody grunt and the fact that he then stops is generally the telltale sign! AIBU?

The whole thing makes me laugh. I never went to Swiss finishing school but I always thought it fairly impolite to be humping away or lying there with my legs in the air in the first place!

Many years ago (and I mean many) my first ever proper boyfriend was incredibly nervy, used to sweat profusely* and when he arrived used to whisper 'Oh Mummy'

*not in a sexy, clean, energetic, we are really working this thing swinging from the chandelier kinda way.....more three layers of polyester in the never removed vest/shirt and sweater vest combo and releasing from all pores a greasy Sunday lunch kind of sweat

I never arrived, I most assuredly left when i realised that there was going to be no improvement to the regularly scheduled service.

My God this is disturbing in several ways!

I can cum completely silently - which is useful for when that's necessary - but have learned that being quite vocal makes it more erotically enjoyable for me.

I do worry a little though about what my face does throughout the moments of arrival. Worry might be the wrong word, perhaps it's wonder. Am fairly sure I look like someone who has just stubbed their toe really hard. Once I had a sharp-toothed creature bite down on my finger and hang on, and I think my face did the same kind of thing then too.

Do you guys stop after just the one arrival? Since perimenopause I always make it at least two so that's one plus of reaching a certain age. I once decided to see how many I could achieve in a row without stopping and it was seven.

Have only ever once cum simultaneously with partner through PIV though. That was super nice.

Can you not just give him 3 rings on the house phone so he knows you have arrived safely.

😂😂😂

I am undone 😂

That actually made me feel sick.

I’ve never worried about my facial expressions. I’d never worried about sounds until yesterday, ha! My experience of men is that once they’re in the mood and they know there’s a chance to get into someone’s knickers, wild horses wouldn’t stop them, let alone a dodgy come face.

Yes we always stop after one. I have never felt the need for another. Normally me first via oral, then a shag for him. The shag is nice enough as something that’s fun and nice to do, but it’s not something that’d make me come again.

I've never felt the need to announce to DP when I'm cumming. He pays enough attention to know.

We play around with edging and orgasm control so he's pretty attuned to what my body is doing.

I think I'd just giggle if a partner (male or female) suddenly announced they were cumming. Well dur.. that's kind of what you were meant to do..!

OneToFive · 02/01/2024 15:44

For me, I never say anything, and there's probably nothing special being observed externally other than gradually slowing to a stop having reached the destination.

My first BF, and we were a long term couple, did always let me know he was arriving in advance. I'm not sure why, so that was the "norm" for me. However, I generally knew in advance anyway, by breathing and movement.

The only time I ever asked to be told of a pending arrival was with one specific partner. On arrival he'd typically leave a very large deposit, so depending on what we were doing, that advance notice helped me be better prepared, for what otherwise could be a messy arrival.

Bumblebeestiltskin · 02/01/2024 15:47

I always announce I'm about to arrive, partly because many men I've slept with say it's a turn on 🤷🏼‍♀️ but also so they don't suddenly change what they're doing and ruin the moment 😂

MyLadyTheKingsMother · 02/01/2024 15:58

My DH let's me know in advance only if I'm giving him a blowjob. Because that's polite lol

greasypolemonkeyman · 02/01/2024 16:25

I went out with a guy once who had a big blown up photo of his twin brother waving on a beach holiday above his bed. It was ridiculously large and a very boring shit photo on a generic beach and it was a bit blurry looking. I was a bit 🤷🏼‍♀️ until the first and only time we had sex . He was gorgeous looking and very self absorbed, and oddly he insisted I stay in the missionary position and closed my eyes when he came. Claimed he was embarrassed about his cum face but the self absorbed arse hole was actually high fiving this photo on his own shitty Magaluf canvas. Turned out he didn't have a two brother and the photo was actually HIM that he was high-fiving. Gave me the biggest ICK ever.

Thankfully my dh has excellent bedroom skills and is actually me that tells him "don't stop" and he knows as soon as I say that he can prepare to arrive with me 😁

nicecoffeecup · 02/01/2024 16:40

Compared to you lot, I think that DH and I are very on the quiet side of things.

I'd have expected all the vocalization on arrival is very influenced by all the fake porn expectations. My only example to the contrary was my flatmate in Uni. I'd assumed the announcement of imminent arrival was for her BFs enjoyment, but after a few months sharing I discovered the announcement was for solo travel too.

Rebmoc · 02/01/2024 16:52

I expect that overall it's useful and beneficial to communicate with a partner on journey.

I do understand the guys asking "are we there yet?", since there might not be something very obvious associated with my arrival.

I've only been on the other side of the information gap once. There was a work colleague I dated for a few months. There was nothing very obvious in his movements related to arrival. More than a few times, I did a visual inspection to check he'd really arrived at the location, and it made me feel somewhat weird, had he really arrived?

MakingAComment · 02/01/2024 18:03

It's honestly never something I think about these days, or even in the past. The two instances I remember wanting to know are

  1. We spent a lot of time TTC. As with many people, it was several years, very stressful, lots of tests, trying to follow best medical advice, etc. It was very clinical at times, and often I did ask DH to try hurry up and get there soon
  2. As a very curious teen with my first BF, I wanted to see it happen, see the arrival in real time. I was fascinated 😳
onestepfromgrace · 02/01/2024 18:05

Right that’s it @Rebmoc how am I ever going to do a car journey with the kids now? As soon as they ask are we there yet I’m gonna wither and die trying not to laugh 🫠

Melodysmum12 · 02/01/2024 18:06

Both DH and I tell each other. Usually because he wants me to cum and if he’s cum he can’t continue to have sex with me with a floppy cock?!

@Mumfromoutnumbered I make a little bit of noise and move about a bit. I still gasp a bit for his benefit.

That sounds like me when I have ingestion 🤔if this is you arriving how quiet is the rest of the journey?

Oh this made me properly laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gosh no. The more arrivals the better IMO. Change seating plans and views after each arrival and arrive at final destination together. Which is why it's quite handy to know when he is on his way.

BCBird · 02/01/2024 22:09

Love the post about three rings to .let him.know u have arrived safely. 🙄🤣 not on the slightest bit bothered what my face looks like.

HelpMeGetThrough · 02/01/2024 22:25

When arriving OP, just shout "mind the gap!!!".

YouDefinitelyShouldNotDoThat · 02/01/2024 22:33

@LauderSyme Please tell me how to get seven arrivals in a row! I have only ever achieved one arrival per journey....
