15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

AMOG Home / Lifestyle

All most people hear about is how women are very complex sexual creatures and how it takes more to please a woman than it does a man. Perhaps it’s not so much that as that men aren’t as picky and don’t complain about sex as much as women do. As long as they’re getting it, then everything is okay. However, men are a lot more complex than given credit for as they have sexual needs, desires, fantasies, likes, and dislikes too.

Rather than harp on what men could do better, here is an article that shows what some women are doing wrong in bed. Now, rather than just complaining about it, we’ve also provided some suggestions on how to fix them.

1butt 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 1: During foreplay and sexual intercourse, women tend not to touch a man enough. Sure, she may have her hands on him, but not everywhere he would like them to be.

Solution: Ideally, you want her to touch your entire body with her hands during the course of foreplay and you would like for her hands to roam during intercourse as well. You may want to suggest a full body massage. If you really want to get creative and sensual at the same time, get some scented oils. Make sure that you’re on the giving as well as the receiving end.You don’t want to appear to be selfish and you always want to make sure she knows that you feel that you both should be pleased.

During sex, if her hands aren’t moving enough, communicate with her and be specific. Ask her to rub on your chest, for instance. Make sure she also knows that nipples are a sensual area for men as well as women. Some women don’t realize this and men’s nipples tend to get neglected.

Problem # 2: Women tend not to kiss enough. Kissing on the lips is not the problem, but women sometimes neglect the rest of the body.

Solution: If you let her know that you like to be kissed all over, she’ll probably have no issues with doing it. The problem is that women are programmed to think that men only want blowjobs and sex. While these things are amazing and one or both are the ultimate goal, there are other things men like. So, the big solution is communication. Tell her what you’re looking for and be specific. Don’t forget to mention that tongues are wonderful!

Problem # 3: I’m not sure how it’s possible, but women tend to ignore men’s balls. They’re right there, hanging down for all to see when a man is naked. How they get ignored is a mystery, but some women seem to forget all about them.

Solution: As a guy, you know that any sort of tender touch, whether it’s with the hands or the mouth, feel incredible on your balls. You can gently take her hand and guide it to your balls so she gets the hint. Also, you may want to tell her that if she’s giving a blowjob that it’s a real turn on if her mouth and tongue wander on over to your balls once in a while.

Problem # 4: Men aren’t totally selfish and insensitive. Part of a turn on for most men is pleasing the woman too. In order to do this, men need to know what their woman likes and dislikes. Women don’t usually volunteer this information and it becomes a guessing game.

Solution: The solution is very simple. Have a conversation with your partner about what she likes versus what she doesn’t like. This also gives you an opportunity to volunteer what you like and don’t like. Also, encourage her to communicate during sex or foreplay as to where she wants to be touched, kissed, etc.

5foreplay 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 5: A lot of men say that women are selfish. They want to be pleased, but don’t care to do much to please a man.

Solution: Rather than becoming resentful, you should realize and try to understand that a lot of women bide into the idea that men don’t’ really care for foreplay and the only thing that they want is sex. The first thing you can do is tell you partner what types of things you like during foreplay.

Get her stimulation up to a certain point and stop. Ask her to take a turn on you until you get to a certain stimulation point. Then you’ll take another turn. This is exhilarating for both people involved. Try it if you haven’t already. I think you’ll both be pleased with the results.

6condom 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 6: A lot of women leave it up to the man to be responsible for safe sex. They leave it up to the man to have a stock of condoms. What ever happened to women’s lib and taking control of the situation themselves?

Solution: It’s important to remember that no one likes it when someone finds fault with them. So, this issue shouldn’t be posed as if she’s done anything wrong. Preferably, a good time to bring up the issue of condoms would be before sex ever occurs.

If you have an opportunity like this and you’re talking about the possibility of sex, you may want to casually mention that it really impresses you when a woman takes the initiative to have condoms on hand. Since she wants to impress you, she will most likely purchase some to keep on hand.

If you’re already sexually active with a woman, you can try the same approach. If she asks if it bothers you that you’re always the one responsible, you can say that  it just impresses you when a woman takes the responsibility. She will also most likely take the hint without getting her feelings hurt.

Problem # 7: A lot of men complain about the “dead fish syndrome”. That is pretty descriptive and we all know that means that during sex, the woman doesn’t move at all.

Solution: Tell her that you love to see her turned on and that it turns you on more. Ask her if she could get into it during sex a little more so that your bodies can move together. You can also explain that if she moves more during sex, it will increase the sensation for her as well.

8reverse 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 8: Some women don’t appear to be very adventurous and only want to have sex in the missionary position.

Solution: When you’re not in the heat of passion, ask them what sexual positions they’ve tried and which ones they like. Also, at this time, you can tell them which positions you like. Also, volunteer to try new and exciting positions that neither of you have tried.

9dom 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 9: Women aren’t aggressive enough during sex or foreplay.

Solution: Did you know that a lot of women have never even tried being aggressive ? It may have never even crossed their minds. You could start by asking them if they’ve ever been aggressive during sex and tell them that once in a while it’s a turn on for you.

If they feel uncomfortable or unsure, reassure them that though it may feel funny at first it might be exhilarating for them. You can start them out slow and tell them that you’d like to see them grab you and force you down on the bed. If that works out, you can move on from there later on.

10scream 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 10: Some women don’t make noise during sex. What does that mean? It might make you feel a little self conscious.

Solution: Tell her that if she makes a little noise during sex, it heightens things for you and it also lets you know that you’re pleasing her. Be prepared that she may ask the same from you. Make sure that you’re prepared to deliver.

11gag 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 11: Some women aren’t open to experimentation and aren’t creative enough in the bedroom. They seem to be more than creative enough in other areas of their life, but in the bedroom they have little or no imagination.

Solution: Tell her that you’d be interested in trying new things. Don’t expect her to come up with ideas right away as she might have some sort of mental block due to some sexual hang-ups that are beyond her control. If you can come up with some ideas that she’s willing to try, she may open up later and have some suggestions. Make it clear to her that you’re willing to hear and try things that she may suggest.

Don’t be too freaky at first. Suggest things like having sex somewhere other than the bedroom. Try bringing food into your sexual experiences. If she’s receptive to these things, you can move up to bigger things later.

12ask 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 12: A lot of women don’t take the initiative to approach you when they want sex.

Solution: This one can be a little tricky. First of all, before you approach her with this, make sure that you’re not approaching her or nagging her all the time for sex. If you are, she may not have had an opportunity to initiate sex.

After you’ve established that you’re not too demanding, ask her if there are times that she has wanted sex when you haven’t suggested it. If the answer is yes, then tell her that you would love for her to come on to you. Tell her not to feel strange and that it would really turn her on.

It’s important not to push this issue to much as it would be very easy for her to take this as she’s doing something wrong or even that she doesn’t want sex as much as you’d like her to want it.

13whisper 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 13: There’s not enough dirty talk in the bedroom.

Solution: This is another one that can be touchy. Some women feel very self conscious about this as they were taught that it’s not lady-like to say such things. It may sound strange to you, but it’s a very real situation to them.

You can ask them if it’s okay if you talk to them that way in bed, but don’t get too raunchy at first. If they’re receptive to that, then try it and see if they like it then you can tell them that you enjoy that too. Be prepared that they may not know what to say. It’s another mental block in the bedroom that some women have. Don’t feel strange about giving her some suggestions.

14car 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 14: She’s not spontaneous enough for you. Some women are too quick to get into a sexual routine.

Solution: Try being the one to initiate sex spontaneously at an odd time. Don’t be afraid to turn the romance on a little bit to surprise and entice her. After doing that a couple of times and letting her know how much fun you had, tell her that you’d like to continue to be spontaneous like that. Give her some ideas such as having sex in different places or in the middle of the afternoon. Tell her that “quickies” are cool sometimes too. Make sure she realizes that you’re not looking for a quickie all the time, but that once in a while it can be exciting.

15cuddle 15 Things Women Do Wrong in Bed and How to Fix Them

Problem # 15: She wants to cuddle too much after sex; sometimes all night.

Solution: Sorry, pal. There is no solution for this one. Anything that you try to do to get out of it is going to make you look like a total creep. So, just deal with it and realize that it’s something that makes her feel secure and special. Basically, suck it up, be a man and be her “cuddle bunny” for the entire night.

The biggest thing to remember in a more pleasurable sexual experience for yourself is that you must communicate with your partner. It’s equally important to make her feel secure. Just as you want to be thought of as a fantastic lover, so does she. For that reason it’s very important not to offend her or hurt her feelings by telling her that she’s doing something wrong.

Instead, it’s best to make gentle suggestions. Also, listen to what they have to say. Listen and be understanding about any sexual hang-ups that they may have due to past experiences. Know that this doesn’t necessarily mean that certain activities or experiments are off limits.

It just means that you should be understanding and patient and possibly help her to tear down some of the barriers she may have that are in her way. Good luck and most importantly, have fun!

Aww, thanks! This is awesome! M partner and I aren't very vanilla, so a lot of this is stuff we've put into practice already, but it's awesome that you put this out there. A lot of us women aren't trying to be selfish, we just really don't know what men want and they tend to tell us less than we tell them sometimes. Also, I loved the last one, about cuddling. Seriously, guys… women like to cuddle. We don't make you cuddle because we're selfish, we do it because we love you, and even though sex is over and we're tired, we still want you physically close to us.

That being said… I'll leave you with this. The Trojan reps came to my university and handed out free condoms. Some of them were th epurple Her Pleasure condoms (incdentally, my favorite…) and one of the guys I work with said, "Her pleasure? What… do they force you to cuddle her all night afterwards?" ;)

So, you're saying that women don't please men enough when it's harder for women to get pleasure out of sex, most of the time?
Are you sure you've had enough experience with a variety of women to say all of this is true?
Because this article seems to be from a sexist point of view.
Most of this isn't true at all… If you want more "aggressive, spontaneous, experimental" women who aren't going to cuddle with you then go to a S&M club. (Oh and women avoid balls because they are disgusting, pendulous, hairy mounds of flesh dangling from your lower half. And when women give you the "dead fish syndrome" it means they really don't want to have sex with you and are probably thinking of something better they could fuck or the errands they have to run later.)

Anonymous, Balls are not disgusting, balls are fascinating. :)

I'm female and happen to have a great sex life with my partner but thanks for the pointers cause guys aren't always forthcoming about what they do and don't like. Ladies: don't get offended, just have fun!
This article is not at all sexist, if you want sexist read some of the female point of view sex articles! It's a very fair commentary, the bedroom is a place that should be full of spice, it's where you make it very clear how you feel each other. Great sex where both partners are made to feel special, sexy and desired is crucial to this.

ps Balls… great times can be had by all. ;)

Posted by: ME - June 21st, 2009 at 9:20 pm

Dude, the reason we ignore the balls is because they smell like old socks. This is true for most men!

Posted by: Rob - August 5th, 2009 at 12:17 am

Great article!
Apparently this is sexist yet all the thousands of articles about men being bad in bed are not… OK SURE….

Posted by: AWoman - August 11th, 2009 at 8:23 pm

At first I used to think I'll never do these things, I'll always be a great lover, it's just that daily stress really got to me and the fact that my partner doesn't always seem to want to please me makes me do the same and a lot worse.
So I've become dull.
But now that I've read your article, I reminded myself I am a woman :) Thanks!

DateDaily has a great article on how to tell a woman what you want in bed: http://datedaily.com/sexuality/sex-tips/6-tell-he...

Posted by: Grimm - August 15th, 2009 at 8:29 pm

I think this is a pretty good article and I’m a girl.
Both sexes have flaws so why get offended.
I do think that in a newer relationship it would be awkward and rude to bring these things up but if a couple is truly interested in pleasing each other in bed then they should be open to discuss their likes and dislikes. That way everyone wins.
I disagree about the balls thing…I think they’re gross. Plus my last 2 boyfriends have had two totally different views on that. the first loved to be fondled there and i mistakingly thought that every guy liked it and so my current boyufriend and I had our first sexual experience and I started to touch him there and he moved my hand away so that is wrong. not every guy likes that kind of pleasure and sometimes it’s better neglected.

You know what I think.. I think women hate men…

Posted by: -another girl - October 16th, 2009 at 8:15 am

Balls are fucking awesome, totally fun and totally sexy.

Posted by: The Original Kit - November 9th, 2009 at 2:49 pm

I'm a woman, and I found this article very interesting. I didn't know a lot of it, and I think that if taken in the same spirit it's given, this information can be put to good use. Women who get offended by the fact that men have complaints too are being just as mean and selfish as the cavemen who don't care if women have orgasms.
Isn't sex supposed to be a cooperative effort? Isn't it supposed be fun?

Posted by: SexLovinGal - November 12th, 2009 at 7:52 am

Interesting article. It made me happy, because I already practice most of the suggestions. I gotta say, though, it can be hard to get a man to talk about what he likes in bed. I've asked my man many times "where do you like to be touched?" Answer: "Um, my cock." Me: "Where else?" LOL. I like balls, and like to play with them.
Oh, and in my experience, a lot of men like to cuddle too.

Posted by: Jen V - November 21st, 2009 at 6:55 pm

I agree with "The Original Kit"… Good article if you read with an open heart and open mind. Sex can be so much fun if you don't limit yourself, are spontaneous and open minded. I was relieved to know I am already doing a lot these things… but I do care about how my partner feels in bed and sometimes for men it is hard to talk about. (for women too) I agree with the article that communication is a big factor and the best time to talk about it is when your not in bed naked… not right before, during or right after. It will add pressure to the situation and things may feel forced instead of natural and spontaneous. Talking about sex fully clothed in a coffee shop perhaps, I don't know… That works for me. :)

I didn't feel offended this article. I was looking for ways to make sure I bring my A game in the bedroom and this was helpful and gave me some ideas on how to improve.Thanks. Hopefully my man is doing the same for me! :)

Posted by: Ness - December 11th, 2009 at 6:14 am

Good article – I agree, a lot of the break down comes from a lack of communication. As a woman in a monogamous relationship (my only partner ever in my life!) I still don't know what he wants sometimes because of a lack of communication. That's not to say we don't have a great sex life, we do, it's just whenever I do feel adventurous I ask him what he wants me to do, I say, "Anything at all" and he says, "Umm… I dunno." Meh, it goes both ways, I'm not very creative. It's definitely difficult when work and college sap the energy and time needed for a more dynamic sex life. Oh well – my hubs is sexy as hell, anyway!
Dude, and balls are awesome. He has to get me to leave them alone sometimes, lol.

The way people perform in bed is a reflection of who they are. If you have trouble in the bedroom, you likely have trouble outside it as well. Remember, you don't have to like the person you're dating. It's often better to simply find someone more compatible than it is to try and turn someone into something they're not.

Posted by: anon - January 29th, 2010 at 4:17 am

Have any of you ladies tried asking your man to wash himself more often? I used to think it always smelled bad. Then he let me smell myself once, he just dipped his fingers into me, and then held them by my nose. The score was even then, I learned why he stopped going down on me. We started by taking more showers together, reminding each other to wash *everywhere*! I've learned a lot of guys do in fact love to go down on women, but we need to be clean and fresh too girls. Plus, have you ever thought of the level of control you have over him when you have him in your hands or mouth? He'll agree to pretty much anything as long as you continue (lol). I've learned through experience, and communication that it is always a two way street. This article is not sexist, but a lot of the articles about men certainly are! If you're not going to communicate properly, you have no one to blame but yourself when things go bad, or stale. I love my husband, his entire body, and the best way to get what I want, is to give him what he wants. If you want a man to make you feel like a real woman, remember to make him feel like a real man. I love to fall asleep in his arms, or him in mine, and we've been happy for almost fifteen years now.
