During sex, both parties have three goals: Have fun, pleasure your partner and orgasm.
But sometimes your good intentions can go wrong without you even realising what you did.
Luckily a recent Reddit thread asked women what men do in bed they wish they didn’t do – so men, take note.
1. When good intentions turn sour
“Rubbing my clit after I’ve orgasmed. It hurts. If I tell you don’t touch it, I mean it. I’m not just being coy and cute.”
2. Not being vocal enough
“Stay relatively silent until they cum. Let [me hear] your moans the whole way through, it makes it way better.”
3. If it ain’t broke …
“When I’m just about to cum, like literally a second away, please don’t change what you are doing. Don’t suddenly change speed or technique. Just keep doing EXACTLY what you were doing.
“The amount of times this has happened to me, and it changes a potentially mind blowing orgasm into an average one …”
4. Never, ever forget foreplay
“[Don’t] immediately pull off my clothes and insert the dick. Just because you are hard doesn’t mean I’m magically turned on. I need a few minutes to become lubricated! Try some kissing, touching with clothes on, slowly taking clothes off, etc.”
5. Sometimes the deeper isn’t the better
“Pound me as deep as they can. Hitting a woman’s cervix is extremely painful, and the bigger the guy is, the more likely it is to happen.”
6. When you let yourself in without an invite
“Try to stick it in my ass all the time. You can ask and I’ll say yes or no, don’t pretend it slipped.”
7. Don’t starfish
“Guys do the starfish too. If I’m on top of you for God’s sake touch me, kiss, move, my hips, make noises like you like it. Don’t put your hands under your head or lay them on the bed.”
