Interested in guy but sex was terrible - WWYD

I am in my late 40's and had second date with a guy of a similar age. I hadn't expected the date to go well tbh, I thought we were too different and the second date would confirm this. But the opposite happened. He comes from a similar background to me, we found we had values and outlooks in common, I really enjoyed talking with him and I would like to get to know him better. He seems a calm and balanced person which attracts me. There are some things I am potentially unsure about him and want to check out if I get to know him better, but I definitely put him in the 'potential' box.

However, we had sex and it was terrible. Utterly awful. The worst sex I have ever had. I got nothing out of it emotionally or physically. He never touched any part of my body other than my vulva which I felt he was (badly) touching in a perfunctory, functional way. Despite him initiating sex, he failed to get hard and I had to give him oral sex to get him hard. He came really quickly. He was silent throughout and I didn't even realise when he had orgasmed. He's not inexperienced and last year came out of a very long term relationship.

So WWYD? Would you hope it could be improved or give up?

Unfortunately my last partner was utterly amazing in bed, the best sex I have ever had emotionally and physically. It was intoxicating. He made me realise I had been having crap sex all my life.

Is there any hope things could get better?

Don’t see him again. Life is too short for bad sex. He was selfish. It amazes me when guys perform like that and then expect to see you again. It’s like ‘What do you think I got out of it?’

MashedSpud · 11/12/2019 18:41

He’s in his 40’s and experienced? The experience sounded dire, like he has no clue at all what to do.

I’d cut my losses. Life’s too short to be teaching a mature man how to satisfy a woman. Ime they always revert back to bad sex anyway because in their minds it’s great sex.

TuttiCutie · 11/12/2019 18:47

Ok - so he knows he came quickly, but then made no attempt to do anything for you.

Nope. Any more time on this one is time wasted.

MrsPeakyBlinders · 11/12/2019 18:47

FGS it's the second date - you are practically strangers to each other ! Maybe you should have waited a while to have some feelings for him . What do you expect ?

Chamomileteaplease · 11/12/2019 19:07

If you liked him as a person and started to feel attracted to him, why don't you meet him a few more times and get to know each other more before going back to bed with him?

Then you will feel more comfortable with each other and being forewarned you can tackle his ineptness Grin.

I too have had the worst sex ever turn into the best ever over time. Don't give up Smile.

Azzizam · 11/12/2019 19:25

Get rid of him.

Loopytiles · 11/12/2019 19:26

Run for the hills!

thedancingbear · 11/12/2019 19:35

There was a thread on here the other day where a man had backed away from a fledgling relationship after the first shag, and everyone was saying what a user, bastard etc. he was.

But when the boot is on the other foot, it seems to be fine. ho hum.

bobstersmum · 11/12/2019 19:36

I don't think you are a match.

Windmillwhirl · 11/12/2019 19:42

Maybe he has a porn addiction and thinks women come screaming just from a man showing them a penis.

I'm howling, thanks for that Grin

BlokeNumber9 · 11/12/2019 19:46

Keep looking.

Loopytiles · 11/12/2019 19:46

I don’t think he’s a good match for anyone!

MorrisZapp · 11/12/2019 19:53

Bin him off. First sex should be hands everywhere and expressions of excitement /desire even if in grunt form.

He's rubbish. If you have to train him to want to touch your body, what's the effing point.

anotherdisaster · 11/12/2019 19:55

Hi OP. This happened to me last year. I started chatting to a guy on OLD. Really liked him and we spoke on the phone, facetimed etc. We had a date and we got on amazing so I was really optimistic. But then sex happened and it was the worst thing I've ever experienced.
Firstly he had a very small penis which didn't help but he had no clue at all how to touch a woman and he just ended up plowing away at me and got very sweaty too. God I'm feeling a bit sick just typing this.
I just knew it was so bad it was never gonna be good so I never saw him again.

anotherdisaster · 11/12/2019 19:56

Oh and he had been in a very long term relationship and had 3 kids to her. I remember thinking "how did she put up with that for 14 years???"

QueenOfOversharing · 11/12/2019 19:59

I met a guy online years ago & our first shag wasn't great, but he was very into me & really selfless. I really fancied him & we got on great. We ended up seeing each other on & off for a few years & the sex was incredible, BUT - if he hadn't been so selfless & kinda verrrrrry freaky, it wouldn't have happened again.

I'm a bit older than you & I'll be honest, I have only met crap shags in the last couple of years online dating.

As for being judgey about someone having sex on a second date, ffs, get over yourself! Just as well I don't post my shit on here, you'd clutch your pearls so hard you'd choke!

fromthefloorboardsup · 11/12/2019 20:07

I think good sex is down to good communication and enthusiasm which is also good things to have in a partner in general. In my experience bad sex doesn't really get better so I probably wouldn't carry on especially if sex is important to you. You could still be friends if you get on well.

Tbh on most of the "I've been ghosted/dumped after sex" dating threads I usually think - maybe you're a shit shag - but I'm never brave enough to post on them and say it Grin

This thread has just confirmed it for me.

Pickitup · 11/12/2019 20:14

When I was in my early 20's, I was with a bloke who turned out to be an arse but we had great sex, from the first time to near the end of our relationship.
My last sexual relationship didn't get off to a good start but I knew it was a combination of things that made it awkward. We had kissed passionately numerous times before and I knew he wasn't going to be such a good kisser if he was not used to good sex!
The first time wasn't dreadful and he was definitely interested in me. Took a few times for us to really connect and I can say it was worth the few awkward times as the sex was amazing.
So I guess I'm saying, you can tell if it's going to be worth it.
I'm thinking this bloke you have seen really isn't. It could only get worse too when stuck in a humdrum relationship..

legalseagull · 11/12/2019 20:16

Can I get your exes phone number...

workffs · 11/12/2019 20:18

I can't get over a man who wouldn't be touching all your bits - boobs etc... and if sexting has been involved all the more baffling!!! Confused

Mrshappy2019 · 11/12/2019 20:49

This might be inappropriate op but I’m genuinely interested, did he have a big dick 🤭😂

everythingisopposite · 11/12/2019 20:59

MrsPeakyBlinders I expected it to be as good as all the other men I have slept with on the first, second or third date. Next question?

Can I get your exe's phone number
: ) I was gutted when he dumped me to be honest. He called sex making love, which I initially thought was cringey until we started to have sex, and realised he really meant it. it was genuinely beautiful. He did have personal issues which meant it could never last as a relationship though, but still.

MtsHappy No, smaller than average.

Shit in bed and a small willy 😩 it’s a no from me 😂

flippyflapper · 11/12/2019 21:03

My dh of nearly 20 years, our first time was a disater 😂 both young. He couldn't get a erection, omg it was just awful. But that was all nerves the nest time was a hell of a lot better, infact as you described i realised what i was missing sexually from past partners. I would definitely give him a second chance.
