The Zen Of Great Sex

A lot can be said about sexual technique, stamina, and pure athleticism of the man having sex with the woman, but as I've said previously sex is so much more psychological than physical. In this way, it's my belief that the number one killer of men's performance that makes sex with the guy so bad that the girl is actually the one to sleep with them and never call again is the ability to not stop thinking during sex.

The Zen Of Great Sex

This may be more true of guys on here than on average because cerebral types seem particularly at risk of this phenomenon. We've evolved past our feral roots and yet a feral man would probably ravage a woman in a way she'd never forget and hold onto for weeks if not months if not years. Meanwhile, the Thinking Man often gives the woman nothing to think about or much of an expereince at all. This is because in the bedroom thoughts are insecurities come to life. There is no other reason to think instead of feel while having sex except that you are insecure about something. This seems radical, but hopefully my explanation helps make sense of it.

Of course thinking "I'm going to suck she's going to hate it" is an insecurity--you wouldn't argue against that. But what about thinking "ok...I'm going to be a stud this time!" Well, trying to convince yourself of something that you're having a mental dialogue confirms the fact that on some level you are in need of convincing and therefore aren't or aren't sure you are capable of being a stud or whatever other pep talk internal dialogue you're thinking leading up and during sex.

The Zen Of Great Sex

Here's a simpler way to put it--imagine you're drinking water and someone walks over and is like oh my god how are you doing that? And you're like what? And they're like drinking that water like...how are you getting it into your mouth like that? Suddenly, you're overthinking it and now it might even spill on you when before you didn't even think about it and it always reached where you wanted it to go. Sex is the same way--when you start thinking about ok where is her vagina...ok she's already guiding it in...where's her clit...oh ok...You've already started being bad in bed. It's not as difficult as you think and a huge part of being good at something is simply not having to think about it at all when and just being able to do it.

The Zen Of Great Sex

This also includes you planning what to do next like your playing operation with her body--i.e. ok now it's time to stimulate her clit...now it's time to stimulate her nipples. This is not only a boner kill it doesn't make the sex very good for her either even if you do manage to keep it up during the unsexiest sex of all time.

But wait if I'm not good at sex and I can't think of what to do next while I'm having it how on earth do i get any better at it?

If you indeed are as bad as you think then stick to the basics and don't get fancy with her clit this her clit that. Focus on the regular positions, fingering, oral, etc and master those to their fullness. When projects seem too insurmountable it's often helpful to break them down to smaller parts and it gives us confidence to know the mission is within our reach to accomplish it. Furthermore, you can be like ok dominance time! ok emotional time! if you feel the need to engage in a mode since it will be unnatural to you at first if you suck, but even this should be sparingingly in favor of just feeling out the moment.

The Zen Of Great Sex

I talk about this too much but honestly meditate for ten minutes a day everyday if you're not currently having sex frequently. It will be good practice for the sort of clearing of the mind that you'll need when you actually are having sex (a good app is Headspace.) when you're actually having sex focus on keeping calm over and relaxed feeling aroused. Later on, you'll find that sexual stimulation actually calms you down and helps you stay in the moment during sex rather than causing you to panic on what's coming next or how you think it's going based on her reaction.

I'll end on a solution to a few guys problem of not being able to get hard for a girl who you do find attractive. If you masturbate fine than the problem isn't your body it's your mind. The natural reaction in this situation is to panic--I mean this girl is naked in your bed ready and willing to let you have sex with her and you can't even get it up? The next natural reaction is to try to force arousal--either by focusing on certain body parts you find really attractive, asking her to give you oral, or even jacking yourself off to get it up. This doesn't really work and even if you do get hard you'll lose it quickly after starting sex. This is because the problem has to be addressed based on it's need. You need to relax not amp up. You need to take deep slow breaths and focus on quieting your mind and as if by magic you'll be ready to give it to her deep. Feel your way through, live in the moment, and make great sex automatic for you.

  • I'd say 99% of your takes are about sex or relationships.

    People say meditation is good. There's an app for it? I've tried meditation and I don't know if it helped any or not. I feel like people should find their own "space" so to speak. Meaning find something that relaxes them. Some people maybe it is sitting with their eyes closed (I imagine I might just fall asleep). For others it may be smoking. Finding that to me is most helpful though I do that regardless of sex or not hey maybe it could help someone who wants to remain relaxed when usually sex is their go-to for that and they aren't getting that recently. That's understandable.

    The projects thing is a very good point. That philosophy works in many things. If something is too large a task to handle break it down into smaller tasks.. smaller goals. I agree. Start small and work your way up.

    I think what you're trying to say is not OVER think about sex? "Yeah you're fucking this girl but don't think about it." Shouldn't you be mentally focused on what you're doing? I mean even at that angle you still say don't think about sex while doing it. To me that's a horrible disaster. Try to take your mind off of driving... when I do I make mistakes. Try to take your mind off of cooking. Next thing you know your shit burning up. Doesn't ravage mean rape?

    In any case your last paragraph is your best one here. If the guy is struggling to get aroused then naturally he thinks he needs to get amped up, but there's a mental block that's connected to arousal that has to leave first. Yeah he can get amped up, but he won't get aroused until he relaxes first. Once the mind is relaxed it's really to work into the pleasure center and then he can fuel that with some amp if he wants lol.

    You know what I've noticed? Why are sexual pictures black and white now days? Why is it appealing?

    • lol I don't know that's a good point about the black and white pictures. damn straight they are. This site is about relationships i don't care what anyone says. It isn't about Christmas shopping, it isn't about the pros and cons of feminism, it isn't about empowerment. This site originally was like yahoo answers except all about relationships woes. I intend to honor that.

    • Okay.

  • Oh my god, how am I supposed to read this with my don't watch porn eyes-ooh sexual tension, ooh a noice body. Stop it I tell you.

    But ok, let me go back and read it.

    Excellent MyTake. I think this will really help the guys and the ladies.

    Be free and spontaneous, it's sex. It should be fun at the end of the day.

    • haha thanks i hope so too : )

  • I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but I don't think that cerebral people are necessarily more prone to dysfunctional sex. I've been with animalistic guys, and yeah, they got off easily enough, but it wasn't necessarily for my benefit. Being in the moment and uninhibited is great, but so is being attentive and empathic. Caring about your partner's pleasure doesn't make a guy some wimpy little sexual nothing. Caring is what gets girls off, in the sense that the guy has to be willing to do what I need. Yeah, 2 minutes of balls-deep thrusting is nice, but that's not enough to get me there. Jungle Boy who humped, pumped, and fell asleep isn't my idea of a sexual dynamo. Big dicks and muscles are great, but they don't automatically bring us to orgasm.

    • well, there's a difference between caring and worrying, no?

    • Sure. If a guy is so lost in thought, it's going to be hard to perform. The guys who have that problem, though, are the ones who are self-conscious about their bodies. That's why I mostly date fit guys. It's hard to have good sex with a guy who's worried about how he looks.

    • yeah fit guys probably tend to be more confident but then it's also just confidence that you're good at sex and that the woman is liking it not just your body insecurity but again fitness freaks will probably be confident in this area

  • This is why sex is always better when you're in love with the person. No thinking involved... passion is great but you need to care. Not think... but actually care about the other person. That's sexy! With real passion... it all comes naturally. Also, I'll agree with other commenter. No need to talk, just do... tenderly of course.

    • lol you don't need to care like that though. only insecure people have to have the other person totally in love with them in order to feel safe and secure during sex in my opinion

    • It's not so much about being safe and secure as the sex is much better being in love with someone. Again you can have a great amount of attraction, and that can be uninhibited and unbridled. However, for me robotic sex... with no feeling is passionless. It has nothing to do with feeling insecure. It's just better, period.

    • lol ok you're just the type of person who says everything with 100% belief like that's just the way you talk to sound very sure of yourself even when it's a subject that's obviously subjective... i get it

    • haha thanks and yep

    • You and your guy?

    • Yes, me and my guy.

  • So accurate. This applies to women as well. Get out of your head people and just go with it. Stop thinking and do!

    • well said : )

  • Eh that s true. Now I didn t have sex yet but from the brief experience I had, it s true.
    I met a guy who was very polite and correct, used to ask me everytime he wanted to do smthng which killed the moment. Because it shows reservation on his part and makes me stop to think. Although I know he meant it as respect, I would have much preferred if he d been much more agressive and if I didn t like it I ll stop him myself.

    • yeah it's that balance a lot of guys don't get

    • @Heybaby599 -I- filler*

  • I disagree to an extent. Yeah if you are really insecure or you need to hype yourself up you need to relax more but I think really good sex needs passion and thought. I feel like if you leave one out its just gonna be meh. It takes practice to find a good balance.

  • Well, hahaha, it seems you have some theoretical knowledge about sex, but you are afraid of the challenge ;)

  • I hate how you describe the man who is insecure as "more cerebral" implying that if you're insecure, you must be smart. You're just insecure, work on it, I'm sure with the right partner it will be great when you relax. No need to sugar coat it. I'm sure there is no correlation between being dumb and a great lover.

    • I see where you're coming from. what I meant was people who are cerebral have trouble letting going and to stop thinking but there's other reasons guys get insecure for sure

    • All people are cerebral.

    • lol you trying to be annoying or that's just how you naturally come across?

  • Wow. I am surprised that the G@G administrative team actually allows pornographic images. With images like these so widespread on the Internet these days, I won't be surprised if the average age of first-time engagement in sexual behaviors actually goes down to elementary school age. Then, elementary school administrators have to discuss whether to issue free condoms and teach how to use them, and the HPV vaccine would be taken during infancy, along with a host of other vaccines.

    • lol this take is not about the damn gifs! and trust me sweetheart this is not pornographic

  • Let's be honest many of us are only here for the gifs.

    • lol you're funny
