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.

Exactly Habbi. She's being told to shut up and take it. Even if she doesn't like it - which goes against the defence proffered by some people that they enjoy being spoken to like this.

oh dear Mamazon, what have you started?

tonysoprano · 28/01/2009 16:38

Clearly written by some american twat with a brain the same size of kis clearly tiny nob.

MorrisZapp · 28/01/2009 16:53

Vile stuff. Clearly written by some loser who hasn't had the opportunity to enjoy sex on equal terms with a woman yet.

Much of it does lean towards abuse, violence etc imo.

Not one thing in it suggests that the writer enjoys sharing jokes with his sexual partner. He's doing it his way and she can shut up or fuck off. Charming.

OhBling · 28/01/2009 16:57

Okay, Habib is the first person who's made a point that I understand intellectually and not emotionally. I still think it's lighter than that and I'd read it more as "be willing to experiment" but I see the point you're trying to make - which if I'm right is that it doesn't matter if a woman is prudish, she has the right to be that way without being told to get over it?

Which broadly, I'd agree with. [although I 'm all for a little experimentation myself!]

But I'd still argue that this piece is an attempt at a lighthearted approach to the difference between how men and women view size.

I'm not getting the lightheartedness. Where was that?

The writer sounded irate and totally lacking in any kind of humour to me.

Wow - women like cuddling, men like blowjobs. If that's the content of your joke you'd better make it a very funny one, as it has been done to death by books, comedians, sitcoms etc for generations.

I can laugh all day at the differences between men and women but I don't find bitter and serious contempt for women funny.

ContainsMildPeril · 28/01/2009 17:10

Horrible Vile Crap

OhBling · 28/01/2009 17:10

No, i don't read the contempt, sorry.

I think if this article appeared in a women's magazine under the byline of a man writing for the magazine, you'd read it, think, "not that funny and point 35 - ick but point xxx isn't too bad" and move on.

I think you're all taking this too seriously and out of context. I'd be interested to see where Mamazon got it from in the first place.

But that's okay, I think it's good that people have different views on this kind of thing - it stops us from becoming complacent. I haven't changed my view on this piece, but I am glad lots of people pointed out how they feel differently about it.

catMandu · 28/01/2009 17:13

Every time I think of some comment I want to make OhBling has made it already and better. I think you are taking this all far too seriously.

CaptainKarvol · 28/01/2009 17:13

Not quite sure how you can miss the contempt, TBH. Some points that aren't vile don't balance or cancel out those which are, so I'm with the Horrible Vile Crap camp all the way.

MorrisZapp · 28/01/2009 17:16

Eh????

Name one women's magazine where you think this might appear - even as a joke?

An article telling us that if we say 'no' in the wrong tone of voice we can't complain when we get penetrated against our will?

Surely even the most downmarket trash wouldn't publish that.

If this appeared in any magazine I read there would be an avalanche of complaints.

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 17:16

I read the first 4 and though waaaa? not even funny

Just wiping the shit from my eyes now

sadminster · 28/01/2009 17:17

You don't read the contempt?

Well you don't have to read far to get to 'frigid bitch' ... contemptuous? Yup, I think so!

This thread is officially the most depressing I have ever read on MN - not because of the OP but all the women saying 'nope it's fine'. Absolutely fucking disgusting. I feel sick.

"What a misogynistic prick he must be." - now that's offensive. You know nothing about her relationship but you're judging her because both her and her DP have no issue with him calling her a slut in the context of sex?"

Thanks a million Ohbling, come back here before I leave work to see what's going on to find that the Virgin bloody Mary's calling my wonderful DP really vile things. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
He's the furthest from a "misogystic prick"
you can possibly imagine, kind and gentle and I'm not boasting, just presenting my view on things. I find no need to hurl abuse at people and am deeply suspicious of people who do. Why don't you just all lighten up.

sadminster · 28/01/2009 17:20

Yup being sodomised against your will - just fine, not rape at all. hahahahaha very funny. I'm speachless.

Watusi · 28/01/2009 17:21

I agree with Sadminster.

How many of you are there? No wonder blokes like this think they can get away with it.

I just pray that these women who think it is hilarious aren't teaching their little boys that treating a woman in this manner is Ok.

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 17:23

I dont need to lighten up thanks, i just dont find this shit funny

OhBling · 28/01/2009 17:24

You know Watusi, I think you want to get all worked up. I don't think anyone has thought it was hilarious. some people thought it was quite funny, some people thought it was lighthearted and some people didn't. But you are taking this all very personally. If it touches a nerve for you, then I'm sorry you've had to read it. But believe me, many of us who live lovely equal happy lives with fabulous sex didn't find it offensive at all.

mocca · 28/01/2009 17:27

A great big yawn to you Dittany and I couldn't agree more with OhBling. I just hope he keeps calling me a whore from time to time and buggering me but WITH my consent of course.

Watusi · 28/01/2009 17:29

Righty ho

Can you explain why all the other people arguing that it's a piece of vile shite are saying that as well? Or is it just my opinion you take issue with?

Oh and btw 12stone found it hilarious...but I shan't tell you to go and read it in case that offends you like it did earlier..
