Sex is sexy.
Except when it absolutely isn't.
For something almost everyone does, we're remarkably committed to pretending it always looks smooth, effortless and incredibly flattering.
It does not.
Here are a few things we're pretty sure are a lot more universal than anyone admits:
The Mid-Sex Logistics Meeting
“Wait.”
“Move your leg.”
“No, the other one.”
“OW. My hair.”
Romance is alive and well.
Wondering If That Noise Was You
You heard it. They heard it.
Nobody acknowledges it.
This is the agreement.
Getting Distracted at the Worst Possible Time
Did I lock the door?
I need to switch the laundry.
Was that the dog?
Why am I thinking about Costco right now?
Brains have impeccable timing.
The Sudden Cramp
Nothing brings a moment to a screeching halt quite like your calf deciding this is its time.
Trying Something That Sounded Much Better in Theory
Sometimes you discover a new favourite.
Sometimes you make eye contact halfway through and mutually agree that this experiment has concluded.
Both are valuable information.
Laughing
Things go wrong. Bodies make noises. Someone falls off the bed. A carefully planned seductive moment goes spectacularly off-script.
Laughing doesn't ruin sex.
Sometimes it's the best part.
So if your sex life occasionally feels less like a steamy movie and more like two people trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions?
Congratulations.
Sounds pretty normal to us.
