1. The Over-the-Top Hair Pulling
While some people enjoy a bit of hair pulling, it can be painful and not enjoyable for everyone. Communication is key here—always ask first!
2. Excessive Spanking
Spanking might look fun in movies, but in real life, it can hurt. Make sure your partner is into it before trying it out.
3. Deep Throat Expectations
Not everyone can or wants to do this. It’s important to respect boundaries and not expect porn-level performances from your partner.
4. Rough Play Without Consent
Rough play can be exciting if both partners are into it. Always check in and get clear consent beforehand.
5. Facial Finishes
This isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. If you’re curious about it, talk to your partner to see if they’re comfortable with it.
6. Loud Moaning
In reality, everyone expresses pleasure differently. Don’t feel pressured to mimic the exaggerated sounds you hear in porn.
7. Instant Orgasm Expectations
Orgasms don’t always happen quickly or easily. Be patient and focus on mutual enjoyment rather than racing to the finish line.
8. Ignoring Foreplay
Foreplay is crucial for many people to enjoy sex fully. Don’t skip it—take your time and enjoy the buildup.
9. Aggressive Thrusting
What looks intense in porn can actually be quite uncomfortable. Communicate with your partner about what feels good and what doesn’t.
10. Unrealistic Positions
Some positions in porn are more about what looks good on camera than what’s comfortable or pleasurable. Stick to what feels right for both of you.
11. Expecting Multiple Orgasms
Porn often shows people having multiple orgasms in quick succession, but this isn’t realistic for everyone. Focus on quality over quantity.
12. Skipping Aftercare
Aftercare is an important part of any sexual encounter. Take the time to cuddle, talk, and make sure both partners feel good afterward.
13. Assuming Everyone Loves Anal
Anal sex is not for everyone. Always discuss and get enthusiastic consent before attempting it.
14. Treating Sex Like a Performance
Sex is about connection, not performance. Focus on being present with your partner rather than trying to mimic what you’ve seen in porn.
15. Expecting No Communication
Good sex involves talking to your partner about what you both like and dislike. Don’t assume silence means everything is perfect.
16. Believing Size Is Everything
Porn often emphasizes size, but in reality, it’s all about how you use it and the connection you share with your partner.
