So, you’re going to present, as you say, “Specific words, sentences and phrases I’ve collected over the years — my own personal “swipe file” of sexy statements which you can start putting to use immediately.” And these specific words and statements from your personal swipe file “pertains to a man talking to a woman during sex.” (Emphases mine.)
Does that mean you want other guys to say the phrases that you’ve personally used, and said to a woman during sex?
Leaving the ewe factor aside, it would be one thing teach a general principle and say, “Hey guys. You don’t have to be completely quiet during sex. You can talk and discuss things with your partner.” That’s all fine and great, and I’d agree with that idea. But when you go an extra step and try to offer guys unoriginal (to them) phrases for them to memorize and say during sex, you are not teaching them to be authentic and natural. You are teaching them to sputter out phrases that are not their own. Above you said you would teach “categories” of statements to say. And if this means principles, and not specific phrases and words, then I wouldn’t necessarily have fault with it. But it appears by what you’ve written that it’s not just that, that it’s “specific words, sentences and phrases I’ve collected over the years — my own personal “swipe file” of sexy statements.”
Additionally, and I know this from reading your previous posts, you advocate a traditionally conservative relationship dynamic that I believe to be flawed, harmful, and sexist. Let me know if I am wrong in this assessment: I am guessing that you believe that if two people have sex and issue grunts and groans and “oh gods” and [other things that I will not type here], with no full sentences, that you would take issue with it and feel that it was too animalistic and not how romantically inclined people express themselves during sex. Is that your position, or am I off?
What I’d do
If it were me, the principle I’d tell guys is that every sexual relationship, and even individual sexual sessions (for lack of a better term), may have slightly different communication dynamics. And every partner will be a bit different as well. Sometimes full sentences and clear, open communication are needed and desired. (Clear communication is definitely needed before sex, so that everyone can be clear on consent.)
But during sex, sometimes passionate grunts and groans are fantastic. And if you have a night of mind-blowing sex, maybe grunts and groans are all that’s needed. And trust me, the woman you have that mind-blowing sex with won’t be bothered in the least by the lack of full sentences. Don’t be fooled into letting someone convince you otherwise: Women like a good romp as much as men do.
But what I wouldn’t say to guys, if they sought some kind of advice from me, is to “say this phrase at this time during sex.” First of all, any phrase I might say during sex would not be from some rote “file” in my mind. It would fit into the context of whom I was with, what we were doing, how we were feeling, and what was going on in that moment. Every other guy is going to have their own specific experiences with specific and different people. Further, you ought to be wanting to teach men to truly be authentic. If you are teaching them specific phrases to utter during sex, or during a date, or anytime, then you are not really teaching guys how to be fully authentic.
How it ought to work
This is how the process ought to work: The right ethic —> The right fundamental beliefs —> The right character —> the right interpersonal relationship skills —> the right kinds of words.
And those words will not be canned material that someone else told them to say, because it was a good thing for them to say this one time with this one girl in a particular situation.
It appears to me that, in your instruction of guys, you want to jump right to the “interpersonal skills” and “words” part (which is where the canned material comes in). Where I’ve seen you advocate for your traditional dating paradigm and relationship belief system, I’ve found tremendous faults. I won’t linger on it too much now, but we can get into that later if you want. The main point here is that if you teach somebody the right ethic and the right fundamental beliefs, in terms of relationships and relating to people, then they will begin to use interpersonal relationship skills and words that fit into that fundamental structure and it will begin to come naturally to them. They won’t have a need for any rote material.
If a guy fails to address “the right ethic” and “the right beliefs” and starts with trying to use specific gimmicks and words that someone else told him to use, he will be nothing more than a facade of a person; a character portrayed with the goal of trying to fool some woman into thinking he is sexy. And he will be a relationship con-artist, because even if the woman is fooled temporarily, she will eventually see through the millimeter-deep covering to find out that what the guy was offering is not what he is actually able to provide, or ever was.
Authenticity & genuineness are ESSENTIAL in creating a meaningful romantic/sexual connection.
Hear, hear. So then, why are you trying to teach people to use rote words and phrases at specific times.
A major complaint of women is that men are uncommunicative in bed
Yes, uncommunicative in the complete sense of the term. But you can be communicative and natural during sex without saying much in the way of complete sentences. And sometimes you can say complete sentences. It just depends.
Women are often talking about a guy who is so nervous and unnatural that he clams up and is rigid as well as being stone quiet. But there’s another sense in which women (and everyone, really) appreciate communication, and this does speak to the use of words and full sentences. It’s when you ask, “Does this hurt/feel good? Do you like it when I do this? Do you want to do this?” That’s totally cool too. Although you can work some of that out beforehand, or after so you’ll know them the next time.
These are principles, though. You won’t catch me telling a guy who is seeking my advice to say exactly such-and-such phrase at such-and-such time. If I did that, and if he accepted that advice, then I’d be furthering him down the road of his fundamental problem. Instead of teaching him how to be completely self-approved – living by the right fundamental values, making his own words to speak – I’d be telling him to adopt my personality and my phrases. That would hurt him in the way of personal growth, not help him.
Questions for you:
-
Do you you believe that if two people have sex, and make grunts and groans and “oh gods,” etc., with no full sentences, that you would feel that it was not how romantically inclined people express themselves during sex?
-
These phrases from your swap file. Are they specific phrases you’ve used during sex? Are you going to be discussing phrases that are used outside of sex?
-
Weird question I know, but I am asking it seriously because I’m curious about something. Do you think there are some sex positions that are immoral for a “leading man” to do? Like (ahem) cowgirl. Does that give up too much power to the woman in the act of sex in your view of things? Or does it not matter one bit? You don’t have to elaborate, I’m not trying to embarrass anyone. Just a succinct yes or now type answer works here.
