Sex Confessions: Women Reveal Their Biggest Bedroom Turn-Offs

Welcome to our sex confessions series, where women share their honest thoughts and stories about what goes on beneath the sheets.

It’s amazing how ‘the mood’ can be killed by one simple action, saying, or sound. But the reality is that when it comes to sex, pleasure, and sleeping naked, there are plenty of things we consider ‘turn-offs’. Of course, in committed, successful relationships, sex ‘turn-offs’ are encouraged to be discussed. Communication is key to a good time, after all.

However, if it’s an isolated incident, or something to learn from after an ex, it can be beneficial (and provide a good giggle) to share among friends. So we asked Australian women (without naming names) to spill about their biggest sex turn-offs, and their answers certainly provided entertainment…

Women share the biggest sex turn-offs

“My biggest ick is when people stare at me dead in the eye for too long. I can still visualise the guy I lost my virginity to staring into my soul. Yikes!” – Rachel, 28

“When a guy gets up (to get water, or whatever he’s up to lol) and puts a shirt on with NO BOTTOMS. Are you lost little boy?!” – Claire, 26

“When you go home with a grown man and discover his mismatched/black bedding and singular pillow” – Sarah, 31

“If their TV is parked really close to the bed… what for?” – Anna, 28

“When they growl. Enough said.” – Shez, 43

“I would never, EVER be able to be with someone who has a foot fetish. If their feet come anywhere near me before, during, or after, my vagina closes up shop.” – Erin, 35

More bedroom icks…

“Lack of confidence and not being in the moment – if a girl wants to sleep with you, she doesn’t care what you look like with no clothes on or your experience.” – Celine, 30

“Nothing is a bigger buzz kill than when your long-term partner becomes accustomed to a certain expectation of performance, through what they like, but then expect it all to be performed like a checklist every time. Takes the spontaneity out of the bedroom and turns it into a robotic and monotonous process”. – Jules, 36

“Bad smell. Not just BO but pheromones. If the chemistry isn’t right it’s a big no from me.” – Charlotte, 24

“Long nails. Sir, do not touch me with those,” – Tina, 34

“Bringing out rogue kinks when we’ve just met. Please don’t use me as a ‘thing’ to play out your fantasies.” – Liz, 29

“When he licks his lips before going in for the kiss, I CAN’T.” – Dee, 33

“Silence. Are you alive? Are you enjoying this? I am not a mind reader.” – Jen, 42

“When he takes too long or is concentrating too much on putting on the condom. I feel terrible saying it but it’s SUCH a mood killer. Hand it over.” – Rach, 32

“Just going straight to the breast without any build-up. They might as well honk while they grab them.” – Tess, 23
