Ladies: Any correlation between a guy's dancing ability and his ability in bed?

I have often heard that how well a man dances reflects on how well they perform in bed.

I personally think this is just a myth, but I’d like to hear from women who have dated several guys, to see if they have noticed a correlation.

I’m a man, but I’m a terrible dancer, so if there is a correlation, I guess you could say I have two left balls.

My husband can’t dance at all. There’s no correlation.

If that was true there wouldn’t be white guys in porn.

I realize that so far more men than wimmins have responded, but it was once gasped to me, “I thought you said you couldn’t dance!”

So S_ _ _ _ at least saw no direct correlation.

The only reason it might, is men who dance have way more self-confidence then men who don’t. As long as they don’t take it to ego, it’s all good.

Women have told me that it isn’t so much the* ability* to dance as it is the *willingness * to dance that makes the difference.

Well put!

Thank you! :smiley:

I once dated a professional ballroom dancer and his back was so ouchy from dance that he couldn’t do a thing in bed. (For ballroom, men have to pull their lumbar spine basically straight, which is just murder on the ligaments.)

On the other hand, as **silenus **notes, the less inhibitions, the better - generally speaking!

I would think it would matter on why we don’t dance. Some don’t/won’t/can’t dance because they are too inhibited. Some just suck at it, and don’t want to do what they can’t. (The same could apply to, say, math.) And some just don’t like to, and so aren’t any good when they do. (I think of myself in the latter group. I don’t think I’m bad in bed. Mrs. Slow has hung around for 20+ years and 5 kids, and it must be more than my charming personality.)

Some interesting replies so far, but what I was looking for was something like

“Had 6 boyfriends. Of those, 4 were good dancers and were generally better in bed than the 2 that were bad dancers”

or

“About 30% of my ex-boyfriends were good dancers and overall performed the same in bed as the 70% that were bad dancers”

i.e. more numbers and not as much analysis.

Oh Ok. But my experience is not going to help you, I’m afraid.

Um…I had two boyfriends that were very good dancers. I didn’t sleep with one, so I’m afraid I can’t tell you, but the other was quite phenomenal in bed.

However, my current SO winces every time I bring up the topic of a dance club, and he’s also very good in bed.

The others (not that many!) were were bad dancers and really weren’t very good in bed, either.

Make of that what you will.

In my experience, guys who dance well are horrible in bed. They seem to be more intent on showing off.

Bad dancers have been better. The ones who refuse to dance are the best.

YAY! :smiley:

Ah, but what kind of dancing are we talking about here? Because in my personal experience, I have found it makes a difference.

If you mean the kind of dancing where people basically stand in one place and bounce up and down without moving their arms much, then no…not much correlation at all.

If you mean the hold-me-touch-me Marvin Gaye “Let’s Get it on” kind of dancing, then yes…I have noticed a big correlation.

I can usually tell quite a bit from how a man holds me (how firmly of softly? how close?), where he touches me (around the neck? small of my back? holding my hand?), and how he moves (does he keep an even rhythm or vary the pace? does he anticipate my movements, or take a strong lead?), and how he interacts with me in general (does he look at me? does he breathe softly in my ear?).

Oh my, yes ! :smiley:

The balls aren’t directly connected to the feet last time I checked. :stuck_out_tongue:

Unless you’re dancing with a Dominatrix :smiley: .

Care to elaborate? I’m trying to decide if I should be offended or not.
I don’t dance myself but I ooze with confidence. :wink:

Yanno, SHAKES, every time I see your name, the word that comes to mind is “ooze.” :stuck_out_tongue:
