Dramatic bed blunders that all men have made at some point

Even between the sheets, things can sometimes go wrong. Men do make bed blunders sometimes, and there’s nothing wrong with that, because you can learn from your mistakes, right?

Well, in bed together, it’s a matter of trying things out and experimenting, and sometimes just repeating what you know can’t go wrong. And keep laughing with each other. And talking. That usually cuts half of all awkwardness.

Okay, those dramatic bed blunders that all men recognize to some extent:

1. Finishing too quickly

One of the most common mistakes is going too fast and finishing too quickly. Excitement and enthusiasm can cause men to rush. However, it’s important to take your time and cherish the moment. Women generally appreciate a slower, more sensual pace. Not that quick finish within two minutes.

2. No foreplay

Straight to the act? That usually doesn’t make it any more enjoyable or romantic. Foreplay is a crucial part of sexual intimacy, but it’s often skipped or rushed. Women often need more time to get aroused, and foreplay helps with that. Some men focus too much on one aspect of sex, like penetration, and forget other important elements that contribute to a satisfying experience.

3. Strange noises

A weird cry or a fart. Not very charming perhaps, during lovemaking, but it can happen to the best of us.

4. He doesn’t want to

The opposite of coming too quickly: his body suddenly decides not to cooperate. And yes, that can feel quite uncomfortable, but it happens to more men than you think. Sometimes stress, fatigue, or performance pressure are the culprits, so don't make a big drama out of it and especially take the pressure off.
