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.

catMandu · 28/01/2009 23:58

well, as has been said a number of times in this thread already, it's interpretation. Mine is:

  1. I see the point, this isn't the first time that the concept of equality going more in favour of women rather than true equality. it could be argued that women do 'expect' their orgasm in much the same was as traditionally men did. When in fact surely the ideal is that it should be 50/50.

8 - As for 7, also lets face facts, magazines do come up with some daft ideas about what works in bed - surely its better to talk to your man about what works for him, rather than what a magazine tells you.

  1. I read this as pushing your head down is an act of frustration because you are not reading my signals and not doing it how I (the man) like it. Again, not unreasonable in a relationship.; Possibly a woman wouldn't do this, but it's saying 'look, I don't want to get to that point, so will you please pay attention'.
  1. Point made, I think.

  2. I (the man) am so excited about what is coming next that I'm going to find it hard to unbutton my trousers in some movie star fashion - you are turning me on.

  3. Perfectly reasonable imo.

I don't see anything disturbing 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."

As i say Dittany - i wasn't sure if i was being over sensetive which is why i wanted the perspective of MN.

but why would it be selfish to let him know whatit is that turns you on? they aren't mind readers. what works for you is quite a personal thing, its not the same for everyone so its only fair to give him a bit of a hint. if you don't tell them what youlike you can't really be upset if you don't orgasm. i am sure there are a thousand posts on here saying just that when someone posts to say they have yet to reach the big O.

no Peril, i didn't marry him. i did however realise that a bit of a trim makes oral sex a whole lot easier for him... and tehrefore better for me.

'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?'

Where did anyone say or imply that? Those of us who have said that we found it funny are the ones who have been attacked even the OP's job has been brought into the debate fgs.

This is pathetic and sad.

What an odd, odd thing to post on a site for women. How strange and woman-hating

follderol · 29/01/2009 00:07

It's the culture of Rap that's what it is. All women are hoors and only to be thought of with reference to sex. Embarrassing!

catMandu · 29/01/2009 00:09

dittany, perhaps I've misunderstood you? Is your problem that you don't understand why people think it's funny or that you think it's vile and woman hating? There's no point explaining why I or anyone else thinks it's funny - humour is subjective surely.

I agree that women or in fact nobody should be 'expected' to do anything in the bedroom, but surely the whole joy of womens lib is that we now have choice. There are lots of women who rather enjoy this sort of thing, educated well informed women in loving safe relationships making informed decisions. I honestly don't think that the list was attempting to be anything other than observational and not prescriptive. The language may not be acceptable to some, but strip that away and look at the sentiment and I don't see anything problematic.

catMandu · 29/01/2009 00:19

I don't have to explain why I find it funny because you don't and we fundamentally disagree. No matter what I say you are not going to all of a sudden get it and roll on the floor laughing.

Unlikelyamazonian · 29/01/2009 00:21

And ice-cream for afters.

I think its a crap list. As lists go. There isn't anything useful on it.

It's just the old stuff we remember from being ten with rubbish dads who don't father well.

stablinski · 29/01/2009 00:31

Op I read ALL your posts
You are backtracking. The header is" GRIN long but worth it."

Then just the nasty list itself.No stuff about "I am interested in opinions.."

Little Britain is so last year. It's not funny and it's not clvere. Anymore. It was zeitgeist for a nano second and now its just camp and shit and all achieved in the props department. I prefer the fat blond one as the baby drummer of yesteryear.

Unlikelyamazonian · 29/01/2009 00:38

clever
klefer
cklevver

clvere is a bit Roman-roads for my liking. sorry.

soapbox · 29/01/2009 00:59

Dittany, you might want to note this one down for the record book, because as much as I rarely agree with you on threads, this time I am right behind you!

What vile crap!

Humour might well be subjective, but I feel contaminated just by posting on the same thread as some of you who think this is funny

Unlikelyamazonian · 29/01/2009 01:08

And I am standing right behind soapbox. Bit cowardly to hide like this I know. But I am here at least and soapbox is tall.

Watusi · 29/01/2009 06:25

Oh Mamazon came back!
I'm watching the back pedalling with some degree of embarrassment.

LEM, your post is really worrying.

'My DP never called me names during sex until i ASKED him to - we have a loving relationship and most of the time it doesn't happen. Although he did try this over the weekend "suck this bitch" waggling his maggot in my face - he was trying to cheer me up because he had seriously upset me over something - he put his weener back pretty damned quick when i bared my teeth at him . But it WAS a joke and totally appropriate actually and did cheer me up - of course i didn't let on '

He had seriously upset you and this was his way of trying to get away with it? Seriously??

F*ck me, any man who did that to me would be right out the door. How little respect he must have for your feelings.

flummery · 29/01/2009 07:15

You know why I don't find lists like this one funny at all? Because there's a strong link between the attitudes displayed in that list and the incident here

You're link's not working Flum but I think we can gather the gist of it from the link iyswim. I totally agree.
