In relationships, so often we hear women complaining about things they wish men knew about them and their wants/needs.
It’s rare that we hear from the men in relationships on what they wish women knew about them. But, thanks to Reddit user u/FireSpiderGuy, we now know all the interesting and important things guys wish women knew about their bodies. As it turns out, women aren’t the only ones who feel “misunderstood” in relationships.
23. Men need compliments, too.
That we can feel insecure about our bodies too and like a good compliment once in a while
22. Everyone farts.
90 percent of the time, I’m actively holding back a fart. When you hear one, it slipped past my defenses. Stop blaming me for farting on purpose. If I was going to fart on purpose, you’d know.
21. They also enjoy backscratches.
You scratching my back will help when I’m cranky.
20. When they say they don’t want to cuddle, it doesn’t mean they don’t like you.
Maybe I speak only for myself, but I can’t can’t have too much physical contact while I’m trying to sleep. I overheat very quickly. Spooning is nice for a bit, but once we’re sleepy butt-to-butt is the easiest way for me to not sweat to death.
19. You’re not going to hurt him.
I can’t even feel that “massage” you are giving me. Go harder.
18. Hug them dammit.
That I want to be hugged every once in a while.
17. It’s nothing personal.
My lack/loss of an erection almost certainly has nothing to do with you, especially if we haven’t slept together before.
16. They’re not always “in the mood.”
Sometimes we are not in the mood either. One ex got butthurt coz she was horny in the middle of the night and I wasn’t. I was asleep and I woke up to her humping my thighs. She was rubbing her genitalia on my thighs so hard it was hurting like hell. She had just shaved a day or two before and it was like being stabbed with a thousand needles. She expected me to fuck her brains out. Not happening.
15. Things take…time.
I’m a grower not a shower.
14. Mental health and physical health go hand-in-hand.
That often my sex drive / horniness is connected to how attractive I feel.
If I’ve been sick, eating like shit, or haven’t hit the gym in a week? Yeah I’m down for sex but it won’t be the most enthusiastic thing you’ve ever seen, might even take longer to get things going.
If I’m feeling accomplished, productive, fit, or just got a bonus/promotion at work? You better fuckin believe you’re gonna get 100% man in the bedroom next time.
13. The family jewels are sensitive.
When I ask you to play with my balls I don’t mean for you to use my balls as a stress reliever. In fact… just play with the skin and leave the balls out of the equation entirely. The threshold is a very thin line that is very easily crossed.
12. And, don’t flip the hood like a crazy person.
If we aren’t circumsized, be careful how far you’re pulling back the hood because you’ll fuckin snap the banjo string.
11. Don’t just stop.
When you’re giving a handjob and he’s finished, don’t slow that shit down. Keep it going at the same pace you were just at until he puts a hand on you or tells you to stop. Best nut of his life.
10. Just be upfront.
My brain cannot comprehend you dropping hints at ALL, just please tell me what your trying to say instead of doing some thing I’m supposed to pick up on, I see you at face value, not the complex game your playing.
9. Don’t. Use. Teeth.
Your teeth hurt. If you can’t open your mouth enough to fit it in without scraping, just stop. It’s ok
8. They want to feel the emotion, too.
I need as much emotion as much you do. groping for me is what groping is for you. Equality mutherfucker.
7. And, they hurt just like us.
Our hearts are fragile as fuck. Just tell us your not interested, don’t try to spare our feelings. That makes it worse.
6. They need some space to cool down once in a while.
i have a hard time sleeping as it is, so when i leave for a bit in the morning it’s to do a small routine to get me back into the sleep phase. sometimes i need to go lay down in front of the a/c unit in the living room.
i’m not trying to leave you, i swear women radiate heat like none other.
5. They don’t miss on purpose.
I don’t intend to pee in a place that misses the bowl. Sometimes it doesn’t shoot the direction I point it.
4. They want LOVE!
I’m not just my dick and balls. I enjoy being touched, caressed, kissed and licked in all the same places that give you pleasure. My neck and ears especially are hyper sensitive and for sure my biggest erogenous zones. Kiss and lick me there and breathe heavily in my ear and I’m yours forever! But also don’t forgot my nipples, abdomen, my inner thighs, legs, yes, even my shoulderblade and the inside of my knees and elbows. It makes sex sooo much better!
3. They love hair play just as much as we do.
I like it when we lay down n you run your hands through my hair
2. Switch it up every once in a while.
I like being little spoon too.
1. Shaving is not the best idea.
When we shave down there and it grows back – you can’t imagine how much it itches. Balls have way more friction throughout the day than the female counterparts!
It’s a sacrifice each time we do it.
