3 Mistakes Women Make in the Bedroom

Instead of posting on this blog the past couple of weeks, I've been cruising the back alleys of the internet. There I stumbled across galtime.com, a website like many others, serving the needs of women in love and life 24 hours a day.

I read about the 3 Mistakes Women Make in the Bedroom that Dr. Jane Greer is most concerned about. There are, of course, many other mistakes women are prone to make, the silly little things, but these three are of a more pressing urgency than the others. Not that the others aren't important! You should still read 6 Things Women Do That Scare Men Off, 7 Reasons Why You Don't Want Sex, and 5 Ways to Be a Better Lover. Not to mention 5 Tips For Getting In "The Mood". Because if you can't figure that one out, your man's going to leave you this very week.

Anyway, back to the urgent 3 Mistakes. Here's a quote:

Mistake #1: Comfy Clothes
I know, ladies, that you want to be in those those comfortable nightgowns, those comfortable jammies, that you wear. But, honestly, the quickest turn-off to your partner or spouse are your comfy clothes. So, if you want to spice things up in your love life, shed those comfy clothes and find a ice, hot bra or a nice nighty, something you can be slinky, sexy and comfortable in that will be a TURN-ON to your partner.

Mistake #2: NOT Taking the Lead
Don't wait to get asked to dance, meaning you've got to take the lead. You don't have to wait for your partner to ask you to have sex or make love with them. Get involved, get into bed, take the lead and get your partner into bed with you. You'll both have a lot of fun and enjoy yourselves.

Mistake #3: Criticism
It's to be avoided at all costs. Nothing will turn off your partner faster than you telling him what you DON'T like and what you don't want taking place. On the other hand, what will be a complete arousal and turn-on is letting him know what he CAN do to please you and what will excite you if he does it.

So, tell him what you like, wear those sexy clothes and, most importantly of all, take the lead so that you can have the fun you're looking for!

Remember, ladies, the good doctor tells us that these are mistakes to be avoided AT ALL COSTS! Nothing ought to stand in the way of you keeping your man happy with what, let's face it, has been pretty mediocre service. This is all good advice, but at the end of the day, Dr. Greer is a woman. If you ladies want a man's take on these 3 Mistakes, The Giant is here for you. You can read my take, you can watch the video at the end of this post, or you can do both.

Giant Take on Mistake #1: Comfy Clothes

It is well known that husbands do not think it's sexy when their wives wear hubby's t-shirts. Wait. What?! Of course they do! And what about the sweet way some flannel pajama pants accentuate the plump shapeliness of the derriere? Or is that just me?

Even if it is just me...come on! Women, are you really going to wear black lacy panties all day every day? Or sneak off to change if there's a chance of "intimacy"? Or wake up before your husband so you can put make-up on?

The real problem, of course, as it is with the other two "mistakes", is men and husbands. If it is true that "the quickest turn-off to your partner or spouse are your comfy clothes", then men are all evil assholes. Husbands, if comfy clothes are a turn-off, learn to look at your wife through new eyes. Because the ones you're using now aren't working.

It isn't they who woo us. It is we who woo them. That means we come to them as they are, and we entreat their affection.

Giant Take on Mistake #2: NOT Taking the Lead

I'm not sure why "not" is all in caps.

Wives apparently mess up by NOT taking the lead.

I'm sure most husbands would be glad to have a wife who did their work for them. Wait a second...that's already a thing! A few years into my marriage I suggested to my wife that it might be nice if she were a little more assertive, if she went after me once in a while.

Know what she did? She laughed at me and told me to be a man. Seriously. Those were her very words.

And that's sexy.

Nothing wrong with wifey taking the lead. But husbands, you are men. You're the hunter, you're the wooer. And your biology backs that up. You're always going to be going after her; if she came after you, it would only be for variety's sake, because she will never come after you the way you go after her (although later on it will be okay if she comes after you). So be content with that. That's your role. You're the pursuer. Don't pout and make her chase you; that's at least as harmful to the female mind as an unresponsive and arbitrary woman is to her man's wee little psyche.

Giant Take on Mistake #3: Criticism

When I initially read Dr. Greer's blurb, I was reading for a laugh. Then I hit this one and I stopped laughing. It hit home a little more. I've had this exact conversation with my wife. The point made is not so much that women are always nagging and criticizing their men; it's that women shouldn't frame things negatively in bed. Less "don't do that" and more "yes, do that".

Great point for both sexes. But in sex, the man is usually the performer. He is the one who is doing it to her. He is more vulnerable to criticism because he is initiating and following through. Fair enough. Women should be considerate of that.

But the underlying assumption is the same stupid thing. That the problems in the bedroom are the woman's fault. Nothing wrong with asking wifey to frame things more positively. But husbands ought to stop being whiney and susceptible and start being doers. You make it so that your wife feels comfy wearing comfy clothes. You make it so that your wife doesn't have to take the lead when you're actually the one who wants to have sex all the time. You be the one to set a positive atmosphere, to praise her beauty and her skill.

Stop whining. Maybe then your wives will stop being so insecure. If you want to be built up, build her up. If you tear her down, you'll go down with her.
