Ladies, Stop Laying There Like a Starfish!

Ladies, Stop Laying There Like a Starfish!

Every single time I talk to my girlfriends, it turns into quite a debate. That is because they wonder why their men are so inclined to watch porn or even have a straying eye, when their ladies lay on the bed like a starfish and expect sex to just happen. I am appalled when I hear my girlfriend, Vicki tell me that sometimes she is too tired for sex, so she just tells her man to "do as you please, and lets hurry up i'm tired". Needless to say, she can see that this ruins the mood. So from my experience and those close to me, here are some things I have learned over the years.

Ladies, Stop Laying There Like a Starfish!

1. Myth: Men should initiate sex 100% of the time.

Of course a woman likes to feel loved, chased and wanted... but a man does too! A woman should initiate sex once in a while and make the man feel that he is valued and loved in the relationship. By a man's nature he would want to take the lead anyways.

2. Myth: Men should do all the work during sex 100% of the time.

A man loves to show his manly side by taking charge and dominating his woman for the most part. However, a woman can be on top once in a while and spice things up by doing some of the fun sexual work!

3. Truth: Men like women to be enthused about sex, and not just "get it over with".

Nothing turns off a man like a woman who looks like she is enduring an unpleasant experience. In fact, a woman should show her enjoyment and appreciation for a man. Of course a woman can get tired, but perhaps a late night coffee is the key to keeping things vibrant again.

  • I agree, if you're never putting effort in, it will cause satisfaction issues. But my husband at times will pretty much just lay there and basicly say "Okay, use me." Lol Occasionally, I'll tell him Im not in the mood but we can do it anyway if he wants. We very rarely say no to eachother. You can tell the difference between the both of us really wanting it and not but it's never been like laying there like a starfish.
    But just being lazy in bed all the time and pretty much having no lust pushing you into the mood is going to no doubt cause problems.

  • While I've rarely had this experience myself, I know many men who have, and thus, you have my applause and respect.

  • G react take, I'm not sure which one of us loves sex with the other more!! I'm ready to jump his bones at a moments notice, usually less!!

  • Meh, hate all you want. Sometimes I am guilty of this, and here is WHY: I come home from a long stressful day at work (10hrs ) and I just want to read a book but my boyfriend who doesn't work as hard (7hrs) just wants to have sex. I'm not really in the mood because I'm tired and not horny. He can complain all he wants but he knows I'm already agreeing to give him an orgasm better than he can with his hand. If he wants to complain he cannot have sex, and I can contently read my book, and wait for the weekend when I can have a decent sleep to "put effort it."

    • I'm going to ask you two questions, but you must agree to answer both.

    • @NoFcks2Give I don't have to agree to anything. Ask if you please, I don't answer to you.

    • I'm simply suggesting that the questions are mutually exclusive, don't be an asshole. I'm not your enemy. 1. What do you find attractive about your boyfriend?

  • If a woman ever told me to "do as you please" that would ruin the moment and I would tell her I am going in the bathroom to jack off to get this over with as quick as possible.

  • *Round of applause*
    Too right. You get out of sex what you put into it.

  • Confession time: I have no problem initiating sex but I have literally no idea how to, short of straight up grabbing his dick! And I feel that's too aggressive, even for a steady relationship. 😂

    But yes I love sex and what I lack in skill, I make up for with lots of smiles, eye contact, and enthusiasm.

    • Pfff there is no such thing as TOO aggressive, unless you are holding a gun to our nut sac and demanding penetration.

    • "I love sex and what I lack in skill, I make up for with lots of smiles, eye contact, and enthusiasm." Skill will come with time. Enthusiasm is the most important thing, so you're ahead of the game already.

    • @MrMysteryMan ... Actually that doesn't sound too bad hahaha!

  • I couldn't agree more with you!!! I also have the same problem with many of my girl friends.. they say that they just lay there and "relax". Sex should be initiated from both partners and done with the same amount of effort. Hopefully some girls take an advice from what you've said!

    • Same amount of effort can be pushing it, but it nice if a girl doing at least some effort.

  • I initiate roughly half the time. And during intercourse, I am constantly moving my hips and touching him all over, when I'm not touching myself. He loves it.

  • My ex husband wanted me to lay there like a dead fish. I hated sex with him and the marriage itself is was worse.

    My husband and I are quite adventurous. On the few occasions I can’t move/roll around, he still knows I’m enjoying myself...

    • If yer makin noise, with the right kind of voice, he should know.

    • @Ahsthen truth

    • It’s just like sex!

    • HA.. HA... HA.. you girl... You grilled the take

  • I agree with you. But women receive almost no practical education on how to move and what to do to make the sex act (s) more enjoyable for themselves or their partners.

    What is your advice? What moves should women be learning?

    • I must have missed the practical education you mentioned as a guy. Every woman is different, so please speak up as to what you like and what feels good to you.. It will be better for both of you.

    • @Surely In the very most basic sex education, men are taught at least one way to ejaculate, and it generally works. Women are taught to be a proper receptacle. Men and boys are far more likely to discuss sex with each other and maximizing pleasure than women are. It's getting better but it's still the paradigm.

    • Sex ed wasn't taught in school when I went. I guess at school age you are correct about the girls talking.

  • great take

  • Umm, what are u supposed to do if you're a virgin? Not exactly in the position be "confident."

    • Virgins tend to be singles, so that take is not very relevant for virgin women.

    • As I keep sayin, if he don't wanna touch you all the time, he's a hosehead. If you don't want to be touched by him all the time, you're a hosehead. Intercourse has nothing to do with it.

    • @Berethor What, I don't follow. Everyone starts as a virgin, right? You're born a virgin if I remember correctly. So what I am saying is that perhaps, a girl who's never done it before may lay there like a starfish because she doesn't know what to do. And it doesn't feel great the first time, so instead of starfish, she may be curling up in pain.

  • Sex is about the people involved. If both don’t actively participate in the approach of it the communication of experimentation and the act itself with enthusiasm it’s boring!! I can relate to feeling exhausted but so can he! In which case we normally just cuddle and go to sleep. This can be helped a lot by open communication with our partners

  • This was my mistake in my first relationship. But i’ve been more dominant since then

  • lol tbh if a woman wants it to end quickly, being engaged will make it happen... no offense to my boyfriend but sometimes when I just wanna go to sleep I'll ride him until he comes. fun for him and I get to sleep longer muahahahahhaah

    lol as someone else said, creative title. Good MyTake. Don't be lazy in bed, it's not cute no matter the gender

    • Well it's sounds like a win-win situation, you doing good. :)

  • i love Sunday morning lazy sex! We both work sooo hard and its beautiful to have slow long lazy sex for hours.. i drape my legs over him as he lies on his side... he's inside me i'm happy and its very very sensual and intimate but sloooow and as we feel we chat, kiss... sometimes i read lol but we always come back to each other... biiig build up to amazing orgasms for us both but we stay "connected" until one of us wants to go again:) yummmy!

    • That is the kind of love two people should show to each other.

  • I really like your persective.

    Just to offer some more explanation: men are evolutionarily wired to need sex with as many women as possible. Good sex might stave it off a bit, but eventually men want sex with new women, however sexual their partner is. Monogamy is a lie.

    • Then you don't need to be in a relationship, that's what casual sex is for.

    • Glad I'm not a man, then.

  • Good mytake and very well said. I dont think too many women expect not to have to do anything though.

  • Lol... If you ask me... I don't like to wait for my boyfriend to say smth... If I feel like it (pretty often) I just became really flirty and playful, and I teas him until he start to take my clothes off... No need for words, same For him... Is enough to show me that he wants it and it gets me in the mood in no time... Now talking about the sex itself... I hate missionary... Is just plain boring... Not even confortable... I love being on top... And is usually is the go to position... If he is feeling more dominant that day we go for doggie or on the wall... I'm also Hella flexible due to ballet classes... So we like to experiment a bit... sometimes we spice it up with a bit of bondage, I really like being tied up... I don't know... I just hate vanilla sex... If it's boring then why to bother.

    • I am really just curious - why do you use... instead of just one period? I'm not judging, just curious.

    • @CameronStark I can lie and say my period taste is broken so it always shoots out three... But the truth is... I like it this way

  • But starfish are so cute...
    Just kidding you are right. It's pretty ingrained though and if you want to know why women do it you can point your finger at thousands of years of slutshaming. Oftentimes charged by religion.
    As a girl raised in a very strict church I was taught to avoid even sexual thoughts or feelings of attraction and told that if a man was aroused by me or something I wore it was my fault and I was evil. I wore leggings once and was told I was obscene disgusting and dressed like a whore and if I went to school like that I would get raped.
    I am not Muslim by the way. And I wore the leggings because I had an eating disorder and nothing else fit. Family members called me from different states to tell me they were concerned about my spiritual health. And I had never even kissed a boy but guess what because I hang out the guys I am labelled a slut.
    You try making a switch after 20 years of that BS and being able to get to a point where you can enjoy sex without feeling like a miserable whore.
    Maybe we wouldn't "starfish" if we weren't trained to be ashamed and disgusted of ourselves by religion and society.
