Carly

Sex. It’s one of the most desirable activities in the world. It’s something that people all over the world enjoy. It’s a pleasurable activity that’s loved by all different types of people. Men are stereotyped as being ready for sex any time, anywhere, any place. Believe it or not, that isn’t entirely true. Even though men are usually down for sex 97% of the time, they can get turned off just as quickly as they get turned on. Here are 10 things to steer clear of when you’re in the mood for some lovin’.

1

Money

Money isn’t a sexy subject. Unless you won the lottery and are giving half to your man, men don’t want to hear about anything financial when they want to get busy. Talking about your finances is a sure way to get a guy out of the mood.

2

The News

Often, actually very often, the news can be a bit of a downer. The news and sex don’t mix. Watching crime, economic and political problems, and natural disasters can add stress to your life, which makes it hard to relax and enjoy the moment. Don’t watch the news before you’re about to fool around.

3

The Parents

Anything family or parent related isn’t alluring. There’s a time and a place for conversations about your folks. Right before sex, during sex, or after sex isn’t one of them! Save those chats for a more appropriate time.

4

The Future

Talking about the future isn’t a way to entice your man. Asking questions about where the relationship is going when you’re about to get naked isn’t wise. Choose to have the relationship conversations at a more suitable time when you’re not in the mood.

5

Distractions

When you’re having sex, your man wants you to be 100% involved in the moment with him. He wants you focused on only him. Noticing how dirty his comforter is, the empty tissue box he has on his night table, or how his floor needs to be vacuumed is a sure way to kill the moment. Save the distractions for another day.

Famous Quotes

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

Man of the House

Men need to feel like they’re in charge. They’re programmed to protect and provide for those they love. If they’re having any financial or life problems, their sex drive suffers. Feeling like they aren’t running the show makes them feel like less of a man.

7

Babies and Kids

Whether you have kids, want them, or are about to have one, don’t talk about them when you’re sans clothes. The topic of babies isn’t leading to hot sex. Yes, there are many men who love kids just as much as you do. But they don’t want to talk about that when they’re about to have sex. When you talk about babies, nothing sexy is going to happen.

8

Body Issues

Men love women’s bodies, naked ones. They don’t notice all the things that women are self-conscious about. When men see a naked woman, they expect her to be free of body issues. If you’re embarrassed about something while you’re naked, you’re saying sayonara to his boner.

9

No More Drama

Men like women who are drama free. Crying isn’t erotic or sensual. It doesn’t matter what you’re crying about. The minute those tears start to flow, the excitement is lost. Save your tears for a sex-free moment.

10

Sickness

Being sick isn’t arousing. Sure, you might think your sick voice is sexy, but it’s not. Men can’t think about sex when they’re worried about you coughing or sneezing on them.

Now that you've see all of these things that can turn a guy off, what do you think can turn him on? Share!

So basically keep your mouth shut...? What a message to be sending to women. I talk to my man about everything and anything and never have bedroom issues. Quite a silly article.

This is so stupid..

Belittling women at its finest.

She saying don't talk about these things DURING sex...freeze people, lighten up!

Amen Sheryl! Taking about killing the mood killers! Keep it in context, please! Unless you are the type of heartless female that uses sex to get what she wants!

This article was total bs! they might as well have said "oh just be yourself when you're by yourself. Men don't want to have sex when you feel emotions or have opinions."

Message to womentalk - you can repost your comment as many times as you like and I will keep deleting it until you can state your opinion without being so offensive.

Geez you ladies take things too seriously. If I started talking about some of these things with my husband before he wanted to have sex, yeah it could be a turn off. Doesn't mean he's not attracted to me anymore, but some of these topics just kill the mood cause they're touchy subjects for some people. This doesn't mean that ALL of these apply to ALL men. Lighten up people.

Sorry but I'm not having sex if your sheets and the room is dirty
