Here are a couple that have been used on me,

Wanna make gravy? (ewww)

Wanna get naked? (I asked the guy if this line ever worked and he said it did)

Wanna do the wet grind?

Q: Can you smile like a doughnut?  
R: No, but in your case I can smile like a cheerio.

…and in the immortal words of Margeret Cho: Stick it it!

This **HAPPENED** to my roommate. He really could not feel the other guy. And of course it was anal sex, which means it’s even worse.

My friend, a heterosexual male, whispered this into the ear of a girl he was hoping to break up with soon, during the middle of doggie style sex:

“I’m pretending you’re a guy”

I dare anyone to look up the word “smegma” in the dictionary. (As I barf.)

My gf said once that she ran across some sort of British card that referred to the act as “rumpy-pumpy.” That sure gets the imagination going.

To respond specifically to the thread title, I’d think just about anything a man/woman said to me would be unromantic.

I’ve committed any number of faux pas in bed. Once a girlfriend complimented me, “You sure have a big dick!”

So I returned the favor thusly: “You sure have a big pussy!”

I don’t really wonder why I’m still single.
