People Are Sharing The Most Overrated Sexual Things From Movies And Porn, And It's Funny Because They're Right

Oftentimes watching people have sex either in movies, TV shows, or even porn might look spicy, but in reality, the positions they're doing or places they're having sex actually aren't as fun as they look. People on Reddit are sharing specific sexual positions or acts they've attempted and admit to hating them. Here is some of what they shared:

1."69 is the most garbage position ever created, in my opinion. You’re both too focused on each other's pleasure to enjoy your own."

2."Speaking as a contortionist, anything incredibly bendy (for example, splits or backbends). Sure it’s thrilling for a couple of seconds, but gets uncomfortable pretty fast. The classics are popular for a reason."

3."Hammock sex. We thought it would be sensual, rhythmic, and tropical. It's really just like being two dolphins awkwardly trapped in a tuna net."

4."After dinner sex. Movies make it seem like such a good idea."

"It’s much better to build that appetite during sex THEN eat! Otherwise, you’re too full and can’t be as athletic as you want."

5."Any penetrative sexual act in water. Pool, hot tub, shower, ocean — all overrated."

6."Sex on the beach. Do you know why they call sandpaper sandpaper?

7."I’ll say it. As a guy, reverse cowgirl. Feeling like my dingus is going to snap because the angle just ain’t working? Not so nice. Got me doing the Pythagorean theorem in bed to figure out the ideal angle to set my hips so I don’t end up with another broken dongle."

8."Car sex often turns out to be not as great as you’d hope."

10."Most porn moves. They are designed to be watched. I appreciate porn stars for their strength and athleticism after trying them."

11."Waterbed. You both actually move together with the bed. It’s quite comical, and there is nothing sexy about it at all."

12."I think it's weird that in TV shows and movies, you see the guy just pulling up the woman's short skirt and just sticking it in. Like what? It looks all hot to watch, but it's not my thing."

13."Most look exciting, but good ol' missionary feels the best at the end of the day. In certain positions, I literally lose my erection"

14."Holding someone up against the wall while having sex. It's not cute when trying to hold someone up and putting most of your energy into that and less on the sex itself."
