Do you ever find yourself feeling turned off by things that are supposed to be sexy? It's no secret that what gets one person's engine revving may leave another's sputtering out. For example, while a perfectly tailored suit on a man might do it for some, others may prefer a more "undone" look. And let's not forget the fine line between dirty talk that can make you climax, and dirty talk that just makes you cringe.
Recently, a popular thread on Reddit had people sharing their biggest turn offs - the things that are "supposed to be sexy" but do absolutely nothing for them. From kinks to sex in unusual places, there was no shortage of surprising confessions. Nearly 5,000 people were eager to reveal what has them swiftly exiting the bedroom.
Perhaps you can relate to these turn offs, or maybe it's a case of "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Either way, it's always interesting to see what turns people off in the bedroom.
One major turn off that was mentioned over and over again was the "daddy" kink. While the term has been used in a sexual context for centuries, many people find it completely unappealing. One person wrote, "The whole daddy dom thing is disgusting to me." Another added, "Calling a guy daddy? Just eww...why? Why would I want to visualize my father while having sex? Like, wtf."
Even an actual dad chimed in, saying, "I am a dad, and I don't want to be called that by a woman I'm in the middle of having sex with." It seems like this is one kink that you should definitely check with your partner before incorporating it into the bedroom.
Next up on the turn off list: make up sex. While it may seem hot and passionate in movies and TV shows, in reality, many people find it unappealing. As one person put it, "There is absolutely nothing I want to do less than have someone I'm pissed at try to get freaky with me instead of communicating and solving the problem."
Shower sex also had its critics, with many citing safety hazards, lack of lubrication, and confined space as reasons why it's not as sexy as it may seem. And the classic 69 position? Well, let's just say that it's hard for some people to concentrate on both giving and receiving pleasure at the same time.
Moving on from physical acts, some people find certain clothing or lingerie to be a major turn off. One person wrote, "I don't find lingerie sexy, either on me or on another woman. Now, normal clothes worn provocatively? You got me." Another agreed, saying, "A woman in a t-shirt and plain white cotton panties is much sexier to me."
Even men in suits and women in school girl outfits were deemed unsexy by some. It just goes to show that everyone has their own unique preferences when it comes to what they find attractive.
Lastly, there were mentions of degradation as a major turn off, particularly from women. For some, being called degrading names or being spit on during sex is a major turn off. And for others, BDSM can feel too degrading or controlling for their liking.
As one person shared, "I am by no means a prude, but I read four to five random pages of 50 Shades of Grey and had to put it down. It just came across like nothing any person should ever tolerate in a real relationship, BDSM or not." Ultimately, sex should make you feel safe and empowered, so it's important to always seek consent before incorporating any degrading acts into the bedroom.
Do any of these turn offs resonate with you? Or do you have your own unique turn offs that weren't mentioned here? Whatever your preferences may be, it's important to communicate them with your partner and always seek their consent before trying anything new in the bedroom. After all, everyone is different and what may be a turn off for one person could be a major turn on for someone else.
