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.

Although I think it is strongly implied in the article that you can't be attractive unless you conform to those 'rules'

PenelopePitstops · 28/01/2009 12:05

haha i find this v funny mamazon!

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 12:08

watusi....i get the impression you are either a cock-teaser or a frigid old bitch if you don't follow the rules

Watusi · 28/01/2009 12:09

Yes DDF I'm probably both in fact

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 12:11

watusi !!

honestly, if some of the points were written in a not so aggressive way i could understand them...but it honestly feels like it's written by the type of neanderthal who would think a woman out in a mini skirt deserves to be raped......'get over it sister' springs to mind

OhBling · 28/01/2009 12:12

I think it's lighthearted but not terribly funny. The person writing it is trying hard though.

Carmenere · 28/01/2009 12:14

I don't think that Mamazon wrote the preface, unless she has started to refer to herself in the plural

It is misogynistic shite and it is a sad state of affairs that grown, emancipated women think it is funny.
Smacks of the same sort of eejits who think that Jordan is a good role model for women and lads mags are a good place to start a modeling career.

And for those of you who think that I am uptight for not laughing at it, you have swallowed the sexist crap being fed to you by the media.

It is only a short step from 'behaving' yourself in the bedroom to 'oh I just let me sort out the money' and 'don't bother your pretty little head with voting']

Fine if that is the way you want to live your life but it is not good enough for me or my dd.

The only thing I can guarantee is that I (and I hope my dd) would never end up with the type of Neanderthal thicko that would think like that.

Megglevache · 28/01/2009 12:15

LOL today's day has a T in it so I am going to be a cock tease LOL!

Lemontart · 28/01/2009 12:17

So when did crude = funny? I thought there had to be some wittiness behind crude to make it funny, not just being crude automatically made it funny? Oh God. Is this yet another indicator that I am losing my sense of humour as I drift down through the murkly layers of middle age?

bamboobutton · 28/01/2009 12:19

i wish i was articulate enough to express how that "article" makes me feel. it's revolting, agressive and offensive.

totally agree with Watusi.

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 12:19

Lemontart - I can assure you this does not indictate a loss of humour on your part!

lalalonglegs · 28/01/2009 12:19

"Trying hard" at what? Browbeating women into thinking that they have to have sex only on men's terms? Sorry, OhBling, I don't mean to keep picking up on your comments but I am really puzzled that you keep defending this piece of menacing drivel. It is a manifesto for women-hating, control freaks.

lalalonglegs · 28/01/2009 12:20

Mamazon did you post to make us laugh or to outrage us? I think the preface is C&P'ed so what is your take on it?

RoseOfTheOrient · 28/01/2009 12:21

flipping 'eck, that was all a bit grim
and for the record, I blardy love sex...
agree with Carmenere....

mocca · 28/01/2009 13:49

My lovely man whispered the word "whore" into my ear the other day whilst groping my bum and I absolutely loved it! What a total slut I must be....

MadameCastafiore · 28/01/2009 13:56

Mamazon is a man though isn't she/he?

MadameCastafiore · 28/01/2009 13:57

Oh dear - no she isn't - I am sure when I was being nosey on the facebook thread the other day a picture of a man came up!

noddyholder · 28/01/2009 14:02

Although I would like to rant and rave about feminism blah blah I think from experience most of these are true whether we like it in the year 2009 or not.

ShowOfHands · 28/01/2009 14:10

I can't finish reading that. And I never give up half way through. I even made it to the end of Lionel Shriver's dirge about Kevin.

It's misogynistic, unfunny and deeply offensive in language and content.

I don't mind a joke but I do insist that it's funny.

eekamoose · 28/01/2009 14:15

What I find so shocking about that piece of crap isn't that it ever got published or indeed any of the charmless sentiments expressed therein ie "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".

Its that some of you find it inoffensive, even funny [hmmm]. How can that be??

Well said Carmenere.

catMandu · 28/01/2009 14:19

I am completely 100% with OhBling on this. I think its very funny and will email it to my dh later. Tell me which bit is offensive, because I can't see it.

Stretch · 28/01/2009 14:31

It's not that bad! I found most of it funny, and took it in the spirit in which it's meant!

It makes me want to go, "ok, here's my list!"

It is a bit offensive, but then I'm not in, or never have been in, a relationship where I have not been an equal. Maybe that alters my view on it?

12StoneNeedsToBe10 · 28/01/2009 14:50

watusi - no need to apologise, your opinion is just different to mine, that's ok.

Carmenere - I find it funny because it can't in, stretch of the imagination, be taken seriously. That's just my opinion, which I'm allowed to have.

Stretch - absolutely - my relationship with DP is completely equal on all fronts and, as such, I take Mamazon's post in the humour it was intended.

As you were.

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 14:51

I have never been in a relationship where I have not been an equal...but if I thought that whilst i was instigating sex with my husband he thought 'thank god the frigid bitch has decided to make the effort' I'd be devastated

and it bemused me that althugh he thought it was okay for him to 'shove his cock in your butt' if you hadn't expressly said not (and in the tone of voice he decided made you serious) a suprise up his butt was in no way welcome....sad little twat, i bet the bloke wanks off to porn every night and doesn't have success with women..it sounds like he hates them!
