To find this an utterly crass term to send someone you are dating

I’ve had 5 dates with a man, so far so good. We were intimate after date 5 when he came back to mine. He was obviously drunk last night and we were messaging back and forth.

He said ‘do you know what I can’t wait to do to you next time’. I obviously replied to ask what. To which the reply was ‘tongue punch your fart box’

My friends were not lying when they said dating isn’t for the faint hearted😷

Would you also be grossed out, or see it is a compliment? Which is what he said when I challenged!

God only on mumsnet would this turn into a bunfight about whether rimming is acceptable. If you don’t like it, don’t do it and keep your judgemental and poorly informed ranting to yourself.

There are two actual issues here:

The way you sensitively negotiate whether your sexual partner would be up for doing something (especially someone you don’t know well and have only had sex with once) is not by drunk text and not by framing it as ‘what I’d like to do to you’. Makes me question his judgement and his understanding of gaining consent.

The language is obviously puerile and childish. Again, makes me question his judgement, maturity and whether he even cares about presenting himself as attractive and whether he respects you.

After one shag, I would probably bin him off. You get the ick for a reason IME.

Rimming is a fairly mainstream sexual practice. Don't knock it til you've tried it. The turn of phrase though? Absolutely not.

I will never be trying it. Never.😳

RaininSummer · 02/05/2026 14:23

Christ i couldn't see him again. Utterly vile.

Those of you who are adamant that this isn't mainstream... have you discussed it with friends? Do you know they don't do it? I have one friend who knows I enjoy it. That's all because my sex life is personal. I have no idea what most of my friends do/ don't enjoy.

@Datingagain25 the phrasing was awful, but I'd have laughed and asked him never to use that phrase again.

Yes and yes.

Dates have been great and he has been a gentleman! Which is why I was shocked at this

Someone asked how I knew he was drunk, well he left his site mid-afternoon and they went to the pub and he was still drinking a few hours later, updating me on how much he’d had. Which was quite a bit!

In vino veritas. You know it.

Jane143 · 02/05/2026 16:37

Disgusting man. And after 5 dates. No respect at all

lionbreath2 · 02/05/2026 16:43

Oh gosh that’s vile but also kinda funny. What a random ridiculous thing to say 😂 if he was drunk and he isn’t usually like that I’d probably forgive it once. He must have been mortified the next day. If I saw elements of this crassness creeping in again I’d have a rethink. Dh and I say some really gross things to each other in daily conversation but we at least made the effort to pretend to be pleasant during the dating phase.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 02/05/2026 16:51

Oh dear… not the text you want to get. It did make me laugh out loud though 🤣

TakeTheCuntingQuichePatricia · 02/05/2026 17:08

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 02/05/2026 16:12

Yes and yes.

All of them? Even the ones you don't know very well? The mums at the school gate? Your relatives? You'd need to ask a lot of people to be able to say with certainty that it is or isn't common.

I have no idea if it's actually common or not btw. Just amazed that so many people seem to know it definitely it isn't.

NewGirlInTown · 02/05/2026 17:08

Disgusting. He wouldn’t be near any part of me ever again.
Not the act, you understand, the absolutely cringe making language. Makes him sound that he has the IQ of a potato.
A grown man putting that in a text… 🤮🤮🤮

I guess it could be construed as a compliment on her personal hygiene? 😂

Porn won’t even use that vocab. It’s not sexy or titillating whatsoever even for those into anal stuff.

Sounds like he’s trying to be “funny” but it’s just childish and icky.

Actually, utter coarseness and crudeness is very much a turn on for some men - I have heard 'can I have a tit wank?' and 'ohhh, give us a gobble' from two different men. They were really surprised when I said no and went home. Each of them said to me, 'I thought you were a woman of the world.'

PinkEasterbunny · 02/05/2026 17:48

like a few people have suggested - I wonder if someone got hold of his phone?

Other people's sex lives are really none of your business.

And yet I still manage to have an opinion on it. Which is that it's a truly grim thing to do..

Is it not massive turn off if your partner has the kind of mates that do this though?

I’ve heard from him today and he hasn’t said that/made any excuses. He just said he was drunk and got carried away. Also that he really likes me and hopes to make amends.

I’ve told him I didn’t appreciate the crudeness and that if he wants to do something in that sense then there’s an adult way to discuss it.

The drinking to the point where he says and does things he regrets is the biggest concern here.

Well he works on a building site so you know you're not exactly dealing with mensa material.
