A few weeks ago I had a fascinating discussion about asking for what you want in bed with my girl Max. When I explained that I was in the habit of letting my partners know what I want in bed and then asking them to tell me what they wanted in return, she expressed shock and then said something to the effect of…

‘Conversations like that seem so clinical to me. I want my man to figure out what I want organically, so there’s some romance in it. Besides initiating a conversation like that just seems unladylike to me.’

"let's talk about sex"If any of you out there are like me you’re thinking something like this…

‘Girl, pull your head out of the organically formed clouds, put away the romance novels and screw being ladylike. No amount of romance is better than a bout of really hot sex with your man because you’re both clear on what the other needs to get off.’

.

… we’re so afraid to talk and ruin the atmosphere that we don’t talk and ruin the sex. – Shans

Maybe me and my crew are just weird, but we all discuss the in and outs of what we like in bed with our lovers on the regular. We view it as part of the build up to the next session, a way to create anticipation. That said, I’d be willing to bet that most women out there are more like Max – too uncomfortable with or simply put off by conversations regarding what they’d like in bed to ever initiate (or even participate) in such a discussion.

So, I’m about to make PSA on behalf of all my boys (i.e JFB, Mike Masters, The F’in Man, and a host of others) who are trying hard not to fuck their current girl exactly the same way the fucked the previous one (sound familiar Sam?). Good people, I dedicate this list to all the guys out there representin’ between the sheets, despite the weak “Let’s see what happens organically” philosophy their female partners may be bringing to the table.

Now ladies, pay attention, because you need to…

.

Get a handle on what turns you on: Girls, it’s your responsibility to figure out what works for you during sex. Knowing what you need sexually increases your enjoyment of the action and his as well. So just think of having a clear understanding of what turns your crank as a gift you can give to your partner – one he’ll use to bring you pleasure over and over again. And what woman in her right mind wouldn’t want that?

Ask him what he wants in bed: Sisters, it’s real important to find out what your man wants sexually. So if he hasn’t given you the run down on his sexual desires you need to ask him. The information you get will be invaluable in your quest for better sex.

Listen To Him: Ladies, because men tend not to communicate the way we do, we often miss important things they share with us. For example, if your man has been saying things like…

“You can approach me for sex sometimes too ya know.”

“My buddy Rick from work and his girl went to another swingers’ event last week and he said they both really had a good time.”

“Last night I had a dream that you put me over your knee and spanked me.”

There’s a good chance he’s giving you a clue about what he wants sexually – especially if he makes the comments more than once. Girls, what I’m saying is that you need to listen carefully, in addition to speaking up. Now I know the idea that you should be listening for clues about your man’s sexual desires when he speaks may seem to go against my earlier statements encouraging you to communicate openly, but it really doesn’t. You see, from what I can tell dudes with ‘alternative’ or kinky taste in sex are so used to being shot down when they approach their women about what they want that theyve been conditioned to pussyfoot around the issue they’re often loathe to broach the subject – directly. For the record, I’m not laying blame here. I’m just callin’ it as I see it and asking you all to really listen to your men for the sole purpose of helping you to improve the quality of the sex you’re giving and getting.

Be Open-Minded: Now girls, once you’ve found out what he wants you need to keep your mind open. If your man is bringing things to you that make you take pause, don’t just shut him down with a “HELL NO!” or get all judgmental about it.  Instead, take some time to see if you can wrap your head around doing what he asks and then try to find out why he desires what he’s asking for. If after doing all that you’re still not okay with participating in depraved acts what he’s asking you to do, try your best to find a compromise that fulfills his craving and is also comfortable for you.

Set Clear Boundaries: Okay, as much as I’ve asked you all to be open-minded I do realize that everything ain’t for everybody, and because that’s true you need to be very clear about your sexual boundaries. Let your man know what sexual acts or proclivities are absolute no-go’s for you early in the game.  That said, here’s the corollary to this point…

If your sexual boundaries/limits are so divergent from your mate’s that one or both of you are often left feeling unfulfilled after sex, it’s likely that the two of you are NOT sexually compatible – which doesn’t bode well for your relationship.  As much as facing that reality may suck (hard realities often do), isn’t this something you’d rather find out during a real honest discussion early on, instead of months down the line when you’re so emotionally enmeshed parting ways is an ordeal?

.

Okay people, I’m done, but before I go I’m going to reiterate my point one more time by leaving you with this…

Vocal chicks who know and clearly state what they want, and then go for theirs get better sex from their partners. Period.

I’ve been told I, give the best head, know how to treat a man in bed, f*ck like a porn star… now why do men constantly like to inflate my ego? Not because it needs inflating. You can ask anyone, I know I’m wonderful. Men like what I do in bed because I ask questions, say what I want/need and I’m never afraid to try new things… I can tell you this right now… Skye is right! Women who ask/tell/beg have better sex. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… women who are too afraid to ask for what they want in bed are like kids who are too afraid to buy condoms at the grocery store – if you’re embarassed by sex maybe you’re just not mature enough to be having it.

@Skye you rock lady for having the courage to be honest.

from the first woman who told me emphatically how unsatisfying my performance was and what i needed to do to please her, to the last woman who showed me exactly how she wanted to be kissed, the woman who speaks her mind is always more likely to get what she wants. that is why you will never hear the phrase ‘multi-organically.’

just sayin.

@ JFB – once again, beautifully said – especially the ‘multi-organically’ bit.

Well Skye, I’m not going to say you’re wrong, but I still maintain it’s not for me.
Which is not to say that I wouldn’t participate in these kinds of discussions; but I just don’t see myself initiating one any time in the near future.

@ max,

I’ve been to your blog. In fact, I’m there often. And here’s what I don’t get. You don’t mince words, you talk about EVERYTHING on your site. Likes, dislikes, pet peeves blah blah blah…so you can have these kinds of conversations with friends, strangers, nobodies and cyber droolers but not with the man who’ll actually be putting it on you….there’s some disconnect there. No?

Oh Sam Sharpe. Of course there is a disconnect there. A huge one.
But what can I tell you? I don’t make sense.
I may be highly entertaining but I rarely make sense.

Excuse me if I’m wrong but I think not talking about it and saying that by not talking about it, we’re keeping the romance alive, is just an excuse to avoid an uncomfortable conversation. We keep trying to tell people we’re sexually liberated but if we’re not talking about it we’re not acting on it.

Personally I’m not uncomfortable talking about sex – as Sam Sharpe pointed out I talk about it openly all the time. But I don’t care for the pre-sex conversation; for me it makes the sex less “magical” and more contrived. I don’t think that makes me any less sexually liberated than anyone else. It’s not about my level of comfort or liberation, it’s the feeling that these types of conversations detract from the overall experience I’m looking for.

@ max,

you’re killing me max. What “magical” sex are you looking for? Sounds like a fairy tale. Or a harlequin romance. Does he take your breath away? Are you also waiting for his throbbing manhood? Does he look like a black Fabio?

One more question, do you like dirty talk during the action? If so, how is this so different?

Sam Sharpe I know you are an avid reader of my blog and I know you read my post about how much I enjoy “discovering” a new man. I don’t want to know what a man likes before he gets into my bed…I want to find out when he’s there. It’s part of the thrill of anticipation for me. I recognize that it doesn’t work for everyone but it’s just one of my little quirks. And I accept the fact that it may mean that the sex won’t be as good as it might be otherwise; but it’s a trade-off I’m willing to make.

And yes I love dirty talk but in my mind it’s completely different. Completely.

I sense that we will never see eye-to-eye on this so I’ll make you a deal. If we ever have sex I promise to talk about it all you want to before during and after. Deal?

@ max,

Deal. May I also say that you may not want to talk, but you sure know how to shut me up.

@Max, I love your blog and you seem like a rad lady but I feel like you eat Disney movies and fairy tales for breakfast sugar… being able to say, “baby I love when you pull my hair.” or “Put your hand here.” Doesn’t kill the magic or the romance it increases the intimacy, because we can only be truly honest with people we care about. Stop worrying about ruining the atmosphere darling and worry about having better sex – not just for you either, believe me if you ask him what he likes and you are able to deliver the sex will blow BOTH your minds.

@Shans
Well thank you for the appreciation of my blog; although if you read it with any regularity then you know without a doubt that I do not eat Disney movies for breakfast.
However, I think it’s a bit extreme for you to predict what the outcome would be for me to have the type of conversation you are advocating.
As I said in my previous comments, I don’t suggest that my way is the right way for everyone; only that it is right for me. Again I don’t lack the ability to say “baby I love when you pull my hair”, I lack the desire to do so.
I think we need to agree to disagree on this one so once again I’m offering a deal: I won’t tell you what kind of conversations you should not be having before you get down and dirty if you agree not to tell me what conversations I should be having.

I always find the best place to discuss what I need in bed is somewhere other than in bed. lol It’s easier to bring that stuff up, especially if you aren’t being satisfied, when there is no danger of ruining the current mood. Of course, I’ve been with the same person for over 10 years, and we can discuss sex at dinner or anytime, and I know some people are uncomfortable with any kind of sex talk.
