Sex!

edited February 2009 in Debate and/or Discourse
I tried to find a clip of Abe Simpson saying "SEEEEEeeeeeex!" in a creepy old man voice, but "abe simpson sex" did not produce suitable results.

SEX! We all do it, or want to do it, or have strong views about it in some way or another. Or maybe you don't, and you're asexual, which is fascinating and you should talk about it!

This thread is for the discussion of sex in a frank and liberal manner. From your personal-level discussion - positions you like, things you've tried and enjoyed, things you didn't enjoy, and the reasons why - to questions and advice - condoms, birth control, getting off, getting other people off - to hilarious stories about falling off the bed, getting caught, or having your cat lick your scrotum while you're humping away. Of course, this being D&D, we will inevitably discuss the nature of sexuality, both as individuals and in terms of the broader culture.

Think of this as similar to a hobby thread about guns or cars, except it's about your junk and its adventures.

To begin, the other day I was discussing my friend's sex life with her, and she was talking about how it seems like women are always aiming to get off as much or as quickly as possible, because it's often difficult to get there, while men are always aiming to delay getting off as long as possible, because it lets them get their partner off but also makes it more enjoyable for them.

As a consequence, we began discussing how the men she's slept with seem to generally remain very self-aware and almost mechanistic during sex. They don't really get lost and let go - because if they do, they'll usually finish very quickly, which is rarely fun for anyone. This rang particularly true for me, because I have to concentrate and, occasionally, distract myself with thoughts of unpaid bills and deadlines. I'm interested in whether other guys have the same experience, or whether they have more of that romanticized sense of "getting into" a sexual encounter.

    Sex, like money; something easily taken for granted when you have plenty, but quickly inflated in perceived importance when you have little or none.

    That's my bitter deep thought for the day.

    Question: does the mechanical kind of sex mentioned in the OP make it less fun? I know the whole point of becoming mechanical is to prolong the experience, with the idea of making it better, but I can't see distracting oneself to the point of mentally removing yourself from the situation or forcibly concentrating as being fun.

    Well, if it comes down to one person not having as much fun as they could, or both people being disappointed, the former seems to be the better option to me. Which isn't to say that it's completely unfun, just that it is a bit of an odd conundrum; once you're busy having all kinds of fun, you have to actively try to have a bit less focused fun, lest the fun end for all involved.

    I enjoy it.

    My partners tend to enjoy the fact that I have delayed ejaculation, meaning I'm a stallion who can go on for extended periods of time. The only downside is that, yeah. It's hard as hell for me to get mine.

I'm interested in whether other guys have the same experience, or whether they have more of that romanticized sense of "getting into" a sexual encounter.

    I definitely understand that. It depends a lot on the partner and position for me and whether or not I'm wearing a condom. Missionary usually results in quicker finishes than doggie style for me, for instance. And I had one girlfriend who I just happened to be able to last forever with; it's just the way our anatomies lined up.

    That said, if I let myself finish quicker, then expending less energy and time means I'm going to be ready to go again faster. If I'm spending two hours on every sexual encounter then I'm probably not going to want to have more than one encounter a day and maybe not even every day. What I've found in the past is that if I just finish quickly with a girl, and then wait a half an hour, and then go again, the second time around lasts longer and we get to have both fast-and-hard sex and slow-and-romantic sex in the same day and we get the best of both worlds... even though that might mean she has to be patient and wait for the second encounter for an orgasm.

    Married w/ Children sex is...well...still sex, but there's nothing quite like having the constant fear that your 3 year old will come bounding into the room at any moment and get instantly scarred for life.

    Married w/ Children-that-are-at-Grandma's-house sex? Now we're on to something.

    Also, solution for 'keeping yourself detached to last longer thing'...get drunk. Much like the act itself, you have to find the sweet spot. Drunk enough that you're gonna hang in there for a bit, not so drunk that it's an exercise in futility.

    Some thoughts:

    Menage a [x] are fun, but holy hell you'd better have a strong relationship and serious self-confidence before you do them.
    Craigslist personal ads for NSA sex are like siren song to horny nerds.
    Paying for sex has yet to diminish my enjoyment of it.
    Most women are bad at fellatio, so you have to derive pleasure in seeing it rather than feeling it.
    If you ever think of another woman/women while having sex with your lady, never, ever let her know about it.
    Long sex is really overrated. Seriously, anything over 20 minutes is pushing it. The point is to get off, not show off.
    Having sex in a car is difficult if you're over 6 feet tall.
    Porn: good for beating off, terrible for guiding your ideas about what's normal for sex.
    I'm constantly amazed by how many women respond favorably to stuff like spanking, rough handling, and otherwise offensive dirty talk.
    Never let go of a girl that does Kegel exercises regularly.

    You guys have no idea how much longer I could go on about this topic...

    My neuroses would not allow for a sequence of random hook-ups. I would become convinced that every genital itch was a precursor to mushrooms on my mushroom.

    Trivia time: The chances of a male contracting herpes in a single encounter with an asymptomatic female partner while wearing a condom are roughly 1 in 2500. Those chances are halved if it's been over a year since that girl's last outbreak. Those chances are halved again if she's taking Valtrex. When the chances of getting a disease are lower than the chances of getting into a car accident on the way to her apartment, I stop worrying about the disease.

    I don't know what those numbers are like regarding HIV or genital warts, though. I really hope Gardasil gets approved for use in men.

    That said, I don't engage in random hook-ups. I only hook up with people I hope to know for a while. I'd rather have a steady stable of regular fuck buddies than a string of one-night-stands.

    Oh well, I would be hella thrilled if someone wanted to, and I would be tempted to probably because I want to feed my confidence, but i think i'd hold off somehow. And yet to some great measure I do feel like I judge my worth based on sexuality and I usually end up sorta depressed sometimes because of it

    See, I agree the societal look on sex is screwy cause another of my greater fears is really becoming known as a slut if I ever start getting into random hookups

    generally, the random hookups I had over the summer went like this

    flirting with a girl, because I got game
    clearly she's in to me, because I'm awesome (happiest part)
    sex (usually pretty pleasing and hot, but not as good as the previous euphoria)
    morning after -- cold and lonely
