Men do not generally talk about sex, because they do not enjoy talking about sex in the specific way that women do, also we know that women do not share all of our attitudes towards these things and never will, and sometimes complete honesty between the sexes may not be very conducive to an easy life. I do not know what that is so, but it is, and I think it probably always has been. But we (men) certainly can talk about it if prompted, as you have discovered, though you may not always like our answers. Though hopefully you will still like us enough to, erm, you know. :rolleyes:

I don't think it is just a 'man' thing.

There are certain things I just don't want to discuss, I like to keep my own 'naughty' little secrets (or big as the case may be )

I think also that in fairness to the men here at FG, they are also reticent of barging into womens conversations about sexuality, their sexual experiences, their sexual needs, as it is not always appreciated and can be taken up the wrong way if you know what I mean. But I think that if you specifically asked most of the men here sexual questions, they would answer them frankly enough if they are inclined to. There are issues of respect for women about such things as someone else said, and I don't think thats old fashioned thats just good manners.

Sorry Gallbally, I'm not picking on you. :yh_bigsmi (a first for me today)

My husband has no issues whatsoever discussing sex in any way.

Guys talk about sex...they just don't go into detail, nor does anyone want to hear about it from another guy(At least I don't).

Men LOVE to talk about sex, but in person. All of my guy friends LOVE talking about sex with me, even though they know they are not going to HAVE sex with me. They still LOVE to talk about it. I guess there isn't anything interesting about writing about it. For a man. So maybe just TALKING about it is the next best thing to doing it. :wah:

Come on girls.....Would you really wanna see Krammy blushing? :yh_angel

I know you are not picking on me BR, I think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. I think on a one-to-one situation with a partner a lot of men will definetly talk about sex, but not socially, not among other men, except in a school-yard kinda way, or occasionally maybe with a trusted male friend if something prompts it.

Uncle Kram

If the sock don't fit - you can't commit .

P.S. Sorry Hammy - I couldn't resist

I know this is serious.

(speaking to BR, while trying to add to this post)

Ha...

Yeah, and theres only two questions that will ever arise during that conversation, and thats...

1.Who

2.When

Anything else is just not important...(You will get the occasional conversation in regards to...shall I say..."freaky" sort of things) :wah:

Would you explain what you mean by suggesting that I can't be classified as either man or woman?

Sorry, did I say just with me? :yh_wink

It's one of Bullet's favorite topics no matter who is in the room! And not much of it is "school-yard" material. :yh_bigsmi

Men love to talk about sex. They just prefer to whisper it in your ear.

Ok how do you take someone seriously when they call their organ a bell-end or Todger ..... :yh_giggle

It isn't just men that can't or won't talk about sex. I will happily discuss it in general but not go into specifics of my own sex life e.g. I didn't join in on the anal or oral sex issue because I don't want to say if I do or don't out of respect for my husband who would be mortified if I did.



Men are expected to be new men and at the same time cave men - how confusing for them. No wonder they can't talk sensibly or openly about some things and have to hide behind smut and mickey taking!!

Hmmm, maybe that's why we don't talk about sex seriously - we're in competition with one another............safer to hide behind wobbly jokes down the pub.




:yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl



I think I've been married too long! I forgot that aspect of male behaviour.



but don't forget that us girlies are in competition for male attention too - witness in your local the large amount of hair flicking over the shoulder and laughing at non-funny jokes!!

I want to know!!!!


It is unseemly and unnecessary to indulge in a lot of vulgar and salacious gossip

like a load of old fishwives.

What do you want to know Hammy?

All the threads here that involve such questions are only ever seriously answered by the women here.
I dont think it is being avoided. I do think sometimes we sit back and read what you women have to say if for no other reason than to try and learn about you women.

Oh and sometimes we answer in a joking way because we are not sure if we will offend. But even the joking answers usually ring true so to speak.

Well, I personally find talking about it is too perverted for my taste....

I will be happy to flirt with you though. :yh_wink :wah: :yh_kiss
