4 ‘Ugh’ Things That Can Happen in Bed, and How to Handle Them

For what it’s worth, no one is a fan of good sex idea gone wrong in practice. Awkward moments in bed have been known to happen to even the best of us. And whilst no one likes dealing with them, it’s good to know that you’re not the first nor the last person to experience discomforts on the mattress. When things head south, everyone usually hopes for the best outcome. But why dread it when you can resolve the awkward?

If you want to overcome an awkward moment a tad smoother, here are 4 of the most common cringe-worthy that can happen.

Asking for What You Want!

Especially if your desires a tad on the naughtier side, asking for them can be awkward. As you can’t be sure of the other person’s answer, asking for a favour in bed might sound ‘odd’ to them. If that happens to be the case, don’t sweat it and feel free to share your ideas. Communication in bed is always key to great sex, as is indulgence. You can’t know someone’s answer until you ask.

The Missing Orgasm

Another uncomfortable thing that might happen during sex, even though involuntarily, is being unable to climax. Orgasms are the cherry of the top of a very sexy cake, and being unable to have one can frustrate or embarrass you. To solve this, we propose to take a breather and take your mind off sex for the time being. Another thing you can try is aim for edging only, thus prolonging your pleasure instead of chasing after it.

An Uncomfortable Position

This is also a thing you can’t foresee happening in bed, but yet, experimenting with positions can get you in a knot. Sometimes, a position is not what you had hoped it would be and suddenly you might actually need assistance to get out of it. Ouch, I know, but hey, you can easily overcome this hurdle by claiming it in the name of exploration and sensual curiosity.

A Bad Angle

Of course, aside from the position itself, another thing that can cause an ‘eek’ moment is bed is hitting a bad angle during penetration. This mostly feels painful externally but the sudden twitch and shock can hit your confidence hard. To avoid accidents of this nature, it’s best you research the positions before going in for the main show.
