Men and Sexual Mistakes

AOL Health, the men’s section, had a piece on the Six Sex Mistakes You’re Making. Guys, were you aware that you are making mistakes? Read on to find out…

The first sex mistake men are making is holding their partner’s hand. If you want her to be “more willing to really give herself to you in the bedroom,” than take it a step farther, step up your PDA, they say. You know what really works for me?  Pick up after yourself. Help me with my chores. Carry in the groceries and I will be all over you.

The second mistake you are making, men, is that you are in too much of a hurry to get to the deed. Okay, I have nothing to make fun of here. Taking your time is always a good idea. Although a quickie does have it’s place, too. Like while the coffee is brewing.

The third mistake – you are stuck in a rut. Switch up your local a bit. They suggest, “…the backseat of the car. It feels a little public, it’s steeped in testosterone, and there’s a throwback, high-school quality to it.” Just be careful where you try this. Getting arrested is never sexy.

The fourth mistake has to do with “predictable foreplay.” They suggest working up a sweat together. I once fell for someone on a hike, so I can back this idea up. The picture that they have with this one is funny – an irked looking woman staring at the back of her sleeping partner’s head. Hey buddy, how dare you sleep when your woman is in the mood. Maybe she wore him out earlier?

I don’t get this fifth one. It says, “lopsided first moves,” and then it mentions tying her hands.  Isn’t tying someone up an actual “lopsided” move?  Are you making a mistake if you are not practicing bondage?  If that’s the case, then every man I have ever been with is guilty of this one. I know that there are many people who are into this.  Not me.  I have no problem with other people enjoying it, but after years of being the only adult in the home, I’m a bit of a control freak. Tying me up would only stress me out, not make me horny. Freedom is much sexier to me.  (Yes, I am aware that I have issues.)

The last mistake is watching television. Seriously?  If your man watches television he’s somehow making a sexual mistake?  “You watched the game! Don’t you ever touch me again!” That’s just goofy. To fix this problem, they suggest reading to your partner. I like to read to myself. How about a back rub instead?  I could always use one of those.

Guys, it’s really very simple. You don’t need this list. Be generous, be considerate, and take your time whenever possible. It’s not rocket science. It’s sex.  As long as you are having fun, you are doing it right.
