19 Examples Of Exactly What *Not* To Say In Bed

When it comes to what people say during sex, things can get awkward. If you’re not on the same page, sexually speaking, as your partner, what you think is sexy dirty talk, may be terrifying or even straight up strange to them. While it’s normal to express your desires, give direction, or even accidentally call out the wrong name (hey, it happens to the best of us!), some things should just be off limits completely.

While talking during sex isn’t a bad thing, sometimes what you say during sex can kill the mood, if you’re not careful. For example, all the times I’ve said to my partner, “I’m claiming the last slice of pizza right now,” as he’s going down on me is, from what I’ve gathered, something one shouldn’t say during sex. But when you know there’s only one slice left and you’re concerned about losing it, it’s important to call dibs. At least in my mind. So I won’t apologize for it.

And today, the #WhenHavingSexDontSay hashtag, is the star of Twitter, as people are listing off all the things one should never say during sex. Although there were hundreds of tweets to choose from, as is always the case when a hashtag takes off, here are 19 tweets that will definitely make you chuckle… and maybe even drop your face in your palms and mutter, “Ooops.”
