Preface: YES, there are other groups that list all the mistakes men make, and YES, we are aware that they exist, but they are not important in this group... focus around here is only around the funny ass mistakes that women make. And if you have a problem with that, don't bother reading any further, go back to where you came from, and spare us all the aggravation! Anyway, onto the list...

  1. Assuming he can get a raging hard on when it suits you. Contrary to popular belief, men can't just flip a switch and get it up because you decided to stop being a frigid bitch. Getting it hard is your job. I suggest you figure it out.
  1. Thinking that kissing needs to be this sweet romantic thing all the time. Sometimes pressing your lips against your partner's mouth while you get off is hot. It depends on the situation.
  1. Leaving him responsible for your orgasm. You know what gets you off. Tell him. If you don't, it's your own fault when he's snoozing and you're all wound up.
  1. Expecting him to cuddle. Men and women are wired differently. Sex makes most women want to talk and bond and all that shit. It makes men pass out. It's a biological thing. Stop fighting it, and stop holding it over his head, it's not his fault.
  1. Expecting him to fall asleep with you in his arms. That shit is uncomfortable after a while. A little snuggling isn't unreasonable, but when it's time to actually sleep? An arm draped over you should suffice.
  1. Expecting him to always lay on the charm and romance. Sometimes, that's nice. Sometimes. But expecting him to be all roses and candles all the time is like expecting you to act like a pornstar all the time. If you're not willing to do that, don't expect him to switch for you.
  1. Being selfish in bed. Regardless of the shit that Cosmo forces down your throats, sex is NOT just about women. Get over it.
  1. Using Cosmo as a sex bible. I dont know who comes up with half that shit, but I'm pretty sure they need counseling.
  1. Whining when he pushes your head down on his cock instead of stroking your hair. Know why he's pushing, skippy? Because you aren't doing it right, and have apparently ignored the other clues he's given you. Pay attention to the signals that he's sending you.
  1. Not moving at all. Missionary is not an excuse to do nothing.

  2. Expecting him to undress himself with any amount of grace. He's about to get some pussy. Be glad he bothered to take his pants all the way off. If it concerns you so much, undress him yourself.

  3. Not shaving your legs. If you want your guy stubble free, you better get out the razor.

  4. Allowing your crotch to resemble the Amazon. Yes, waxing hurts. Yes, some people don't want to go bare. That's fine. If you like bush, great. If you have sensitive skin and can't shave, I feel for you. But for the love of Christ, trim that shit if you want him to spend any time down there.

  5. Assuming that sex means a relationship. The only relationship you have is that he has now stuck his hoo-hoo dilly in your cha-cha. That's as far as it goes unless otherwise noted.

  6. Withholding oral sex just because you're ragging. He didn't do it. Unless you want him to withhold oral sex because he's hormonal, I suggest you get some knee pads.

  7. Expecting him to figure out what you like by what noise you make. Use your words. Have you ever actually heard what you sound like while you're having sex? If you heard yourself on tape, and someone asked you to explain what was causing you to make that noise, 67% of women would respond with answers like "I stubbed my toe" "I ran up the steps" or "I was putting up drywall".

  8. Leaving condoms up to him. If you're sexually active and insist that he uses a condom, I suggest buying a box and keeping it by your bed. Not all men keep them on them, and it's just as much your responsibility as it is his. If you think that makes you a slut, you shouldn't be having sex anyway. Go back to Junior High.

  9. Getting your undies in a bunch when he talks dirty. A little fantasy can be fun. If he treats you with respect all the time, you shouldn't be offended when he calls you his dirty little slut. When he calls you a whore and tells you to cum, it's his way of showing that he cares if you get off. Stop being a sissy.

  10. Refusing to be spontaneous. I know this is shocking, but sometimes sex OUTSIDE of the bedroom is fun.

  11. Dissing quickies because it's not some slow sensual ordeal. Sex is a dynamic thing. There's an awesome raw energy when you only have 20 minutes but having to have someone so bad that you do it half clothed against the wall. Readjust your thinking.

  12. Being too much of a pussy to tell him what is or isn't acceptable before you start bumping uglies. Be honest. If he asks if he can poke you in the butt, and you giggle and say NO like it's an invitation, don't look surprised when he "accidentally" sticks his cock in your butt.

  13. Expecting him to undress you. Women put a bra on almost every day. I know for a fact that getting them off isn't always easy. Help a brother out.

  14. Undressing in the dark. If you're shy, dim the lights, but give the man something to see. No ripping off the clothes and diving under the covers, either.

  15. Refusing to get on top. There's no reason men should have to do all the work.

  16. Getting that bored look on your face. Men are more visual than women. Give him something to look at. Get on top and arch your back a little bit. Move. Do something to indicate that you 1) are not dead and 2) didn't suffer a minor stroke rendering you unable to move.

  17. Expecting him to do all the touching when you're riding him. It's your body, you're used to it. Play with your tits, rub your clit, do something to make his job easier.

  18. Being too afraid to guide your partner's hand when he's touching you. Don't like the way he's doing it? Gently take his hand and show him how you like it.

  19. Getting into bed, getting naked, fooling around and then deciding that you just want to cuddle, then getting offended when he doesn't. It's your choice to stop, but don't look all fucking surprised when he's confused. You got him naked in your bed, what else did you think was going to happen?

  20. Refusing to let him take control. So you are a feminist. Big fucking deal. Letting him call the shots doesn't make you any less of one.

  21. Refusing to take control. It's ok to crawl across a bed to him on all fours, push him down and crawl on top. It's not his responsibility to start things all the time.

  22. Forgetting that he has a body that likes to be touched, too. Men have things like backs and shoulders and stomachs and other parts that are fun to kiss and touch. You miss a lot of good places by concentrating solely on his penis.

  23. Ignoring his balls. Seriously, they are there. Kiss them, lick them, suck on them, make a relationship with them, just don't ignore them.

  24. Leaving him to his own devices. Nothing is worse than a girl who gets you most of the way off and then bolts because she doesn't want to deal with the mess.

  25. Launching into some speech about not being an object for sex when he tries to titty fuck you. Jesus Christ, just push them together and enjoy yourself. You get a great view.

  26. Expecting him to handle you like a porcelain doll. I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're not going to break, sister. So doing it against the wall gives you a bruise on your shoulder. Look at it later and giggle at the memory.

  27. Refusing to try things in the name of "making love". You're not making anything. You are naked. With another person. Making strange faces and weird noises. Stop romanticizing it.

  28. Taking things way too seriously. Sex is funny. Actually it's hilarious. Somewhere along the line, someone is going to fall off of a bed, hit their head on a lighting fixture, accidentally kick a midget or trip over a goat. It's how you deal with it that really matters.

  29. Throwing a bitch fit when he asks for a threesome. It's the American dream. (Quick interjection - one request for a threesome is ok. Every 5 minutes, not so much. Know the difference).

  30. Continuing a blow job knowing that you have god-awful cotton mouth. Really. Grab a bottle of water.

  31. Nails. It's one thing tracing them up and down your partners back. It's another when you snag the goods with a claw.

  32. Bitching when you get jizz on you. You're having sex. That will happen. That's the entire point of sex. Establish where he can and can't jizz and be done with it. Remember, it tightens the pores.

  33. Not making any noises at all. Moan. Scream his name. Something so he knows he's the best you've had, even if he isn't.

  34. Faking orgasms. Just. Don't. By faking (IF he believes you) he thinks he's doing everything right. And if he doesn't know it's not working, he's not going to change it. Starting a vicious cycle of unfulfilling sex which will eventually be very damaging to his ego.

  35. Not washing before sex. I know that sex is spontaneous, this is more of a general statement. If you haven't showered that day, and things smell a little... fishy... perhaps demanding oral sex is a little ridiculous of you.

  36. Anything that involves inserting anything into his body that he has not specifically approved beforehand. I don't care what Cosmo says, some things are simply not pleasant surprises.

  37. Refusing to use oils/whipped cream/other messy but fun things because you have these rare Egyptian cotton sheets that were made by hand by the only person alive capable of sewing that pattern. They'll wash.

  38. Doing all of your before bed things before sex. Yes, sleeping with makeup on is bad. Now is not the time to remove it, you can do that later. And really fucking you with your hair in a ratty scrunchie with acne cream on your nose is not all it's cracked up to be.

  39. Cleaning up after sex. Wiping the splooge off is one thing. But changing the sheets immediately so you can get the other ones in the washer and then sanitizing everything your naked body might have possibly passed by is not the way to do it.

  40. Making a big deal out of it if he loses his hard on. This is not an interrogation, or 20 questions. It happens, he's probably mortified and you are NOT helping. Refrain from using phrases like "it happens to every guy". Just move to other activities until it gets hard again, and if it doesn't, get off another way with him. He's still capable of getting you off. Mumbling "forget it" and rolling over are not ok.

  41. Asking questions right afterwards. The woman equivalent of "was it good for you?". Now is not a good time to ask "What this means". Right now, it means he probably needs to take a drink, a leak and a nap, perhaps not in that order.

general love to mamazon though

dodgy old op missy!!

flummery · 28/01/2009 22:29

'is' for 'are' in the last post.

I really need some sleep now after working straight through the night. Let's hope my man doesn't pop home and suddenly feel like a hot screw - I'd hate to let him down now wouldn't I, that'd make me a frigid bitch 'n all.

Janos · 28/01/2009 22:31

The awful thing is, a lot of men do think and act along those lines. Is peak from unfortaunte experience and I'm sure quite a few women on here can say the same thing.

Blimey this has bought up some bad memories..probably shouldn't have clicked on the thread but hey ho.

Mamazon · 28/01/2009 22:35

why does it not have a place on mumsnet?

a few days ago there was a link to an article about the creation of a "super race" there were a great number of comments about society not having its resources drained by people with disabilities.

i found that highly offensive given the fact that my son has ASD.

MNHQ stated that just because something isn't necessarily to our taste doesn't mean we should ignore it.

This email is being sent around and has probably been viewed by a great many thousand (if not millions) of people. i imagine that the majority of them are men who have laughed.

Why should we not discuss that fact? why should we ignore that it is being seen as funny? why can we not debate whether it is purely a lighthearted hint list for women form a man's male's PoV or whether it is yet more misogyny wrapped up to make women feel inadequate?

Janos · 28/01/2009 22:39

"i imagine that the majority of them are men who have laughed"

Yes, you're probably right. I find that thought quite depressing.

I don't think you are wrong in posting it, this sort of thing should be discussed IMO.

Mamazon · 28/01/2009 22:39

it was sent by a friend, a female who found it funny in the main.

As i said. there were parts i chuckled at and could relate to my own experience but obviously there were others that made me

im still not sure what i think. i thought about re wording it in a more female friendly way and seeing if it would work....but i couldn't be arsed tbh.

OP posts:
Janos · 28/01/2009 22:46

My take is:

The aggressive, attacking language and tone used belie the surface humour. The author, almost certainly male, has tried to hide his anger behind a veil of humour.

stablinski · 28/01/2009 23:11

you are a social worker? I had to read that twice.
I cannot tell you how shocked I am that you would pass this stuff on as funny.

IorekByrnison · 28/01/2009 23:14

"re wording it in a more female friendly way"?

Talk about polishing a turd.

Mamazon · 28/01/2009 23:31

no whst i meant was that i would try and remove the aggressive overtones to see if it could make sense purely as hints for women. but as i say it was too much like hard work.

AS for your that i am a social worker, why? are social workers not allowed to find sex funny? and i haven't passed this off as anything. i posted it, without commentry to see what otehrs thought of it. your opinion is quite clear but as you can see some disagree with you.

it is the wonder of the internet. you get such a dichotomy of views in such a short space of time.

OP posts:
stablinski · 28/01/2009 23:36

I agree the range of views is always fascinating.

I find sex funny but this is not funny. It is so mysogynistic and downright nasty.

I am amazed anyone as hightly educated as a social worker would pass this on (with or without comment)and I thought social workers were basically paid to be extra decent human beings with more sensitivity than the average bod !

Mamazon · 28/01/2009 23:41

have you read any of my posts?

I have stated that i wanted other people's opinions on it. i found it funny in parts but uncomfortable in others. it is probably because i am aware i can be a little over judgy about such issues that i wanted to know if it was just me being too sensetive that i posted it here.

OP posts:
bumsqueak · 28/01/2009 23:41

12stone I'm with you.
Habbibu, "get over it, so what if you're bruised" does not mean you have to like rough sex and take it rough, it means so what if you ripped your clothes/got a bruise from shagging against the bannisters/cracked your head on the shower, so what you had a good time doing it. It's like saying, if you go skiing you may fall and break your leg, but should you not ever go skiing? You had a good time and now you have a broken leg, doesn't mean you didn't have a good time

catMandu · 28/01/2009 23:41

I stick by what I've said earlier, you are all going way ott on this, it's lighthearted. I don't think that it's condoning rape or violence at all. I also think that you are out of line attacking Mamazon. You may not like it and of course you are entitled to your view, but not to the extent that you attempt to put down someone elses view.

ContainsMildPeril · 28/01/2009 23:42

Nowt in it is funny though. I've just reread it - i suggest you do the same.

bumsqueak · 28/01/2009 23:44

Mamazon - I'm more shocked that people are judging you cos you're a social worker . These girls seriously need to lighten up!

I'm with Dittany - just paraphrase one funny bit..................

Dittany, for me it struck a chord and made me laugh, but for you it didn't. So what? Don't worry about it.

Leaving him responsible for your orgasm. You know what gets you off. Tell him. If you don't, it's your own fault when he's snoozing and you're all wound up.

i agree entirely with this. it is indeed advice i would offer women myself.

  1. Allowing your crotch to resemble the Amazon. Yes, waxing hurts. Yes, some people don't want to go bare. That's fine. If you like bush, great. If you have sensitive skin and can't shave, I feel for you. But for the love of Christ, trim that shit if you want him to spend any time down there.

I found this funny as it reminded me of my younger more naive days when a guy i was seeing almost choked on my own overgrown lady garden.

  1. Being too much of a pussy to tell him what is or isn't acceptable before you start bumping uglies. Be honest. If he asks if he can poke you in the butt, and you giggle and say NO like it's an invitation, don't look surprised when he "accidentally" sticks his cock in your butt.

I found this a bit im not sure they meant to describe anal rape but of course that is how it reads.

as i say, i can see ti from all view points.

OP posts:
ContainsMildPeril · 28/01/2009 23:55

If you agree to the stuff in the OP that makes you oh so sexy and better than the ones who don't - is that it? We must be the wierdo's right? Because yes a certain type of man says so and therefore we must all comply?? Right?

Mamazon · 28/01/2009 23:57

eh?

have i made such a comment? or even implied sucha thing?
