When the thrill is gone

When the thrill is gone

BY PENDA HONEYGHAN 

Not everyone can perform at 100 per cent capacity 100 per cent of the time, which means that at some point in a relationship, the sex may be less than stellar.

We’ve all experienced it — it’s that period when some women plan the next day’s menu and some men think of football; when things get so monotonous that the mind strays.

What do you do when the sex is boring?

Keron:

Sex is a mind thing for a man as much as it is for a woman. When I’m not at the top of my game I am honest with my girlfriend, and I’ll tell her sorry. Like any mature woman, she understands.

Samantha:

When things are going downhill I know that my boyfriend loves when I talk dirty to him and when I’m dominating him. I simply just start doing this and it’s usually enough to make bad sex really great sex.

Dayle:

I know when my girlfriend isn’t having fun, and of course we have had that a few times. I usually just return to foreplay because that usually gets her excited enough. Then we try what gets her most alive, and that usually works.

Terry-Ann:

I have faked an orgasm so that he would just stop, hurry up and have his own so that the most boring 10 minutes of my life would be over.

Amanda:

Have you seen Asafa Powell’s body? The most boring sex could miraculously be transformed if I imagine that Asafa is my man. A few other celebrities like Drake and Chris Brown could also pass too. Thank God for them, or boring sex would just be too painful to tolerate.

Hayley:

I check to see what’s up with Papi. It could be that he’s tired, and if that’s the case I would understand and simply allow him to satisfy his ego by finishing up, or try to let him know it’s okay.
