Embarrassing question about sex faces?

Asked by tan235 (877points) August 27th, 2010

ok so how do you tell someone that you don’t like the face they pull during sex?
Someone you’ve been with for a while as well, this isn’t a new thing…. do you tell someone or do you just close your eyes when the climax comes.
sorry probably a very bold question but i have no idea if you say something or not….. your thoughts flutherists….

I would not say anything….

If you turn the tables, imagine if someone said that to you? Very insulting. Climax is a very vulnerable moment for people. Ideally you should not be thinking about much of anything at that moment, so making someone feel self conscious is kind of unfair. I would just close my eyes if it is really that bad.

I agree with @TheOnlyNeffie. I really can’t imagine anyone making a face so bad that I couldn’t avoid it for a few moments if necessary. I would be crushed if my husband told me to stop making a certain face all of a sudden. I couldn’t imagine ever saying something like that to someone else.

I cant imagine being told this either. I am sure your face changes when you climax as well. Its a natural reaction… Everyone does it.

well there’s always doggie style, then you dont have to see their face…

@TheOnlyNeffie has the great answer, hands down.

Why would you find his face, full of pleasure, unbearable? Is there more to this story? What about sounds? Do they disgust you? Just curious.

It must have taken a lot for you to write this…I appreciate your openness and would like to understand.

@TheOnlyNeffie has it. Pleasure can do funny things to all of us. Sometimes it looks confusingly like pain. For a while I was hung up on the idea that I was hurting my lady; she set me straight on that point. If you were to criticize her expressions at this most vulnerable moment, you’d likely hurt her feelings very badly.

How rude, have you seen yours?

Close your eye’s silly, why embarrass them and possibly spoil your fun.

the person might tell you “well if you don’t like it then now about we don’t do it anymore?” and then you’ve just lost a sex partner over something stupid. so let it go, i’m sure there are other things you could focus on, like the fact that you (presumably) like having sex with this person.

That’s the whole point of clown makeup…then all your sex faces are silly for both of you!

I agree with the thread…and with @MissA Am wondering if there is something of which you may not be aware. The subconcious can tell us things we are reluctant to face.

hmm thanks guys, i’m actually a she, so my partner is a he!
I feel terrible having to ask this, it’s just that it scares me, it’s a scary face and puts me off having sex, which in turn as made our relationship really hard right now, and we are engaged.
sounds like a mess right.

I agree with @MissA , I get the feeling there may be something underlying that is causing you to feel this way.
You may think that it is his face, but could it be something else on your mind that you are just directing your feelings towards this face that you dislike?

If you loved them, no sex face they make would be ugly to you.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I agree with the general thread and also with @Simone_De_Beauvoir. Love changes so many things into acceptance. I know it’s not a requirement that people be in love in order to be sex partners together so maybe his sex face threatens you in a way, you’re not secure yet with this man.

Brenna_o's avatar

Tell him you want to talk seriously and let him know your uncomfortable with his “sex face”. This does seem like an underlying problem. Talk to him about it, but try not to mention you think its ugly. It could hurt him alot.

I agree with @TheOnlyNeffie. 100%. If someone said that to me I would feel so self conscious that future sex would be really uncomfortable and inhibited.

sleepdoc's avatar

I would just close my eyes and focus on what my other senses tell me during that moment.

Coloma's avatar

Wow…just when you think you’ve heard it all. lol

This has never, ever, crossed my mind, ever, in 35 years of sexuality. :-/

I think saying anything at all is extremely inappropriate and likely to really create some serious and unnecessary self consciousness for the other.

Don’t you DARE!
