People Are Sharing The “Sexy” Things That Are Actually Gross (20 Posts)

Do you ever get the idea that a lot of the things marketed or described as “sexy” are actually just kind of awkward or even unsexy?

I know that the world is diverse and everyone has their own thing, but sex in the shower is probably never going to be as cool as the movies show. Someone inevitably slips, shampoo falls, maybe a pet walks in, etc.

On Reddit, folks are sharing the things that they think are supposed to be sexy but in actuality are not.

Water sports are mentioned a lot. Also mentioned? Food in bed, sex on the beach, unasked for dick picks, and a bunch of other stuff.

“Wearing too much cologne/perfume. All you need is a dab of ascent on your neck or your wrists, and the scent shouldn’t be so overpowering that others can smell you from a mile away. The scent you wear should be subtle, but noticeable.” — Professional-Tower76
