A while back, Reddit went wild after user u/KingBeezoR asked people to share the “not so fun parts” of sex that no one talks about. Here's what 32 different people had to say:

1. "Swallowing. I'm never ready for it and can never get over the taste."

—AnnyBananneee

2. "A bed that makes more noise than the person you’re having sex with."

—someplacedeep

3. "Spreading your labia to help them get inside of you."

—oniraa

4. "How to deal with a sexual partner with low self esteem. No matter how hard you try, you can't make them feel sexy, then you call into question your own worth as a partner. Is it my fault? What am I doing wrong?"

—Glockamol3

5. "'I'm late.' 'For what?' 'I'm late.'"

—isuckatusernam3z

7. "If you're like me, you sweat fairly easily, so being on top means I'm dripping off my face, and usually, it's landing in or around my girlfriend's eyes and mouth. We've often talked about a sweatband, but I'm not sure if it would increase passion, or cause laughter."

—Tsquaredp

8. "I'm a little concave in the chest, and sometimes, when we are close together, an air pocket happens, and it makes the best fart sound ever."

—CandelaBelen

10. "Taking a little too long to finish, and then feeling embarrassed, and the more you think about it, the harder it is."

—bunnyrobyn3

11. "The AutoZone smell after doing it with a condom on."

—StarfallXVI

12. "Getting fingered by someone who did not cut their fingernails."

—catcherinthesly

13. "Having to push pets away that won't get off the bed and just sit there staring at you."

—WillTwerkForFood1

14. "The old dead fish routine, which makes you not want to have sex with anyone for awhile — including yourself."

—Pencilowner

15. "When she bounces a little too hard on top and you slip out and get crushed."

—Raspberries-Are-Evil

16. "Hitting the cervix is a special kind of hell. A stabby feeling that’s deeply unsexy."

—angelinadarling

17. "The waddle to the bathroom afterwards with one hand cupped over your vag."

—throwawayforbcstuff

BBC

25. "When your penis comes all the way out in the current motion, and your brain stretches the following half second into eternity before the next damaging painful blow comes (if you're not perfectly lined up to go straight back in)."

—EdgardLadrain

26. "The moment when your rhythms just barely become off and you have to start over."

—jrhea2019

27. "The learning process of sex toys. My wife and I tried anal beads the other day, and it was a complete disaster. She yanked them out like she was starting a lawnmower."

—txoutlaw89

28. "Yeast infections and UTIs. Please just pee after sex, people."

31. "Taking off your tight or awkward clothes while trying not to kill the atmosphere."

—_Man_Moth_

@paxeros
