Inspired mostly by snarky comments in this thread. Who boinks best?

(I think I should stop drinking on weeknights, even if I am bored out of my skull.)

have i told you how good david is at oral sex, its liek being bendicted by angels

― anthony, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And while we're at it, is it better to get your groove on to American music or English music? I'm currently listening to "Piggy In The Mirror" and, while I'm absolutely thrilled to hear it, I'm disturbed by the idea of getting buck-wild to it. Then again, I would also be horrified if I came home one day and discovered my wife draped seductively on the sofa, clandles lit all over the living room, while "Still Talkin'" by Eazy-E played in the background.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Especially considering that one line.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nonsense, Dan. I think this should be pursued regularly for the entertainment value.

Ned, WHICH LINE????? You act like there's only one to choose from!

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It occurs to me that I don't know if you're talking about "Piggy In The Mirror" or "Still Talkin'". Because there is only one line in "PitM" that would keep me awake at night, but "ST" is a veritable coruncopia of sexual wrongness.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I would have to try both first and let you know. Hmm, the idea of sex being like the Pepsi challenge.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well maybe if Americans just stopped TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE BLOODY TIME for bloody once

― Walter Shite, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm still suffering emotional/mental damage from a few years ago when mostly boys from the drone-on list posted about what music they lost their virginity to. it turned into a discussion along the lines of what music to put on to get women to get it on with you. quite a number sed some particular song or record by slowdive.

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The idea of having sex to Slowdive is a horrifying one.

Anyway, shouldn't one be concentrating on your, um, partner rather than what's on the stereo???? I don't think I could recall what I've ever had on the stereo, except for that one time I had Belle & Sebastian on repeat (I think I lost my temper when "Stars of Track & Field" started up for the fourth time)

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Slowdive seduction? Eeew.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Um...well, anyway.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ned, WHICH LINE????? You act like there's only one to choose from!

Well, given the context, Master Perry, say you come home, you see your wife like that, and then the first thing you hear is "I may be a woman beater, but I ain't no pussy eater."

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Certain turn off, for sure...

But then, isn't it shattering to your partner's desirability if the song gets more attention;>?: "It isn't that I DON'T want you, but NWA is too distracting to my flow...."

As to which country has better lovers, I plead the fifth.

― Nichole Graham, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"It isn't that I DON'T want you, but NWA is too distracting to my flow...."

Needless to say, the image of Dan desperately using *that* as an excuse to Joei will leave me giggling for hours.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

As will the image of her giving Dan a well-placed kick, afterward....

I would;>

― Nichole Graham, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"There's a riot goin on" by Sly and his redoubtable Stone kin is natch the best album to do the nasty to. EVEN the funny yodelly bits. Sex should be funny as well as, well y'know grrr nastynice. Just like a baby.... MMM MMM... Let me feed you profiteroles my little love munchkin.

― misterjones, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeppers! Canada has all winter to practice, and it's such a great pastime! Were you talking about skiing?

― Gale, Wednesday, 6 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

four years pass...

I SAY FUCK THE AMERICANS AND THE ENGLISH I SAY THAT THE MEXICANS ARE BETTER THAN BOTH OF U AT SEX

― BETO, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 19:14 (nineteen years ago)

australians = best, obv. people who are repressed and angry always boff better.

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

I read somewhere yesterday that Austrians lead the world in terms of a satisfying sex life. I credit Freud and Mozart.

― ratty, Wednesday, 19 April 2006 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

motherfuckers

― sunny successor (katharine), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

Vegetarians are the go, regardless of their nationality. Not sure why this is, just is.

― dr lulu (dr lulu), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

new zealanders are great lays. dr lulu that is SO true. i've never had a vegetarian that was a dud root.

False. Exhibit A:

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

Surely someone has schtupped a Mexican, and can back up or refute BETO's claim.

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

ah yes i see prudish vegetarians in the reflections of the wine glasses

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

Are they MexiCANs or MexiCANTs?

― Gilbert O'Sullivan (kenan), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe because vegetarians lack fat+blood+skin+flesh in their diet they more than make up for it in the sack.

― dr lulu (dr lulu), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

you forgot bone

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

clearly this question will go unanswered until there is a sexolympics with judges, doping panels and disco tex

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 19 April 2006 23:04 (nineteen years ago)

might not be a bad way to deal with the dobsons of the world either

I'm pretty sure I've seen listings for a Sex Olympics on skinemax. I imagine the hurdles are fun to watch.

― Big Willy and the Twins (miloaukerman), Thursday, 20 April 2006 01:26 (nineteen years ago)

based on my very limited experience w/the English, both are grebt

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Thursday, 20 April 2006 01:28 (nineteen years ago)

That vegetarians claim is absurd! In my experience they are the worst and I don't see British or American citizenship affecting it either way.

― richardk (Richard K), Thursday, 20 April 2006 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

You're prob sleeping with those people who say "I'm vegetarian but I eat chicken." They're the worst.

― dr lulu (dr lulu), Thursday, 20 April 2006 11:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure. YSI?

― Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'm a vegetarian! Come to me, ladies!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:08 (nineteen years ago)

I have never sexed with an American so I don't have a scientific answer.

I think there might be something in this vegetarian assertion though...

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:12 (nineteen years ago)

And yeah, I've never had a customer that would have complained. Of course, some of them might've just been too polite to say anything. Or maybe I'm just a veggie love-god!

(x-post)

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

never had an american so i dunno, but of all the english gurls i've slept with none have really done anything for me.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

I think there might be something to the veggie = better theory. I eat meat, and I'm rubbish in bed.

― Johnny B Was Quizzical (Johnney B), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

I myself, on the other hand, am extremely impressive between the sheets.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe it's because vegetarians = more caring of other beings = more caring of their partners' enjoyment too. Of course, if you like rough, hard sex, maybe veggies aren't the best at that.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

I have slept with both Americans and English, but I'm keeping my answer to myself.

― Henrietta Leavitt and the Cepheid Variables (kate), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

now that should have been
"Maybe it's because vegetarians like rough, hard sex, veggies are the best at that."

lol @ slowdive upthread. thats pretty dreadful.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

xpost it's americans isnt it.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 20 April 2006 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

i think its because vegetarians are craving bloody meat and are confusing lust with BLOOD LUST.

― i've dreamt of rubies! (Mandee), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

Haha my friend's mad mum used to blame the fact that civilisation hadn't yet abandoned war and violence on vegetarianism.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

And there is the Adolf factor too I s'pose.

― dr lulu (dr lulu), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:58 (nineteen years ago)

Eh? I thought it was the other way around - nutters always think that the reason there's still war and stuffs is because people still eat meat. Or maybe that's just the nutters I know.

― Henrietta Leavitt and the Cepheid Variables (kate), Thursday, 20 April 2006 13:58 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha. You said "eat meat" in a SEX thread.

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Thursday, 20 April 2006 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

!?! Have some people actually said "Austrailians" in answer to this? A joke, obviously.

The answer certainly isn't "Americans" either. Deeply, deeply unerotic people.

― David Orton (scarlet), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

I can't even tell what that's supposed to mean.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

An alarming number of British people like to have sex while listening to Massive Attack. Just saying . . .

Maybe it's because vegetarians = more caring of other beings = more caring of their partners' enjoyment too.

this is ridiculous. As someone who was a vegetarian for a very long time, I can tell you I don't give a shit about other beings!

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

I read somewhere yesterday that Austrians lead the world in terms of a satisfying sex life. I credit Freud and Mozart.

Maybe they just have lower expectations.

this is ridiculous. As someone who was a vegetarian for a very long time, I can tell you I don't give a shit about other beings!

yeah, this is BS. i've known some vegetarians and vegans who talked about "the planet" a lot but were pretty openly hateful of other people.

― stockholm cindy: comedy vigilante (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 20 April 2006 16:54 (nineteen years ago)

This is such total bullshit!

If there is ANY connection that you're making (and honestly, I don't think there is, in reality), it's that in the western world, vegetarians tend to be liberal and may be far more open minded about sexuality. But still, I think that's a stretch.

― Mr. Macaroni FACE!, Thursday, 20 April 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck all you bastards with a tofu dildo.

― Veganym (Haikunym), Thursday, 20 April 2006 17:03 (nineteen years ago)

aww poor dud vegetarians

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 20 April 2006 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

vegetarians tend to be more caring of other beings in theory but not always in practise. still, i've never fucked a vegetarian who was crap in bed.

so i've never fucked a brit, what am i missing out on (other than massive attack, whom i can happily fuck without)

Having had most experience with Americans, there are fairly wild variations. As one would expect. Tough to pick a winner. Ah, the thrill of competition!
