OK, so the old joke goes something like: how is pizza and sex the same?
I’m relativley new to the whole sex thing, but what do you guys and gals consider to be bad sex? I mean, is it being with someone who just lays there and doesn’t move?
Is it that it’s over too quick?
Goes on too long?
Body odor?
What is bad technique?
What is good technique?
Or is it just that as long as someone is doin’ something down there, it’s ALL GOOD!
Experience is the key. After a while you will be able to differentiate. For now, just be happy, it’s all good.
It’s all relative, with the exception of rape which would be “bad sex”.
IANAMod, but I think this is more of an IMHO than a GQ… if it gets moved over there, I’d be interested in the discussion.
Bad sex is sex that at least one of the parties doesn’t enjoy. It helps if the participants are paying attention to each other’s needs and reactions. These, of course, have infinite variations.
… finally the man wipes the sweat off his forehead and says to the woman: “you must be from texas, too”.
Well, as long as we’re throwing around jokes, can someone please tell me the joke that ends “Twenty dollars, same as in town.” This had been bugging me for some time.
Bad sex to me is sex that doesn’t keep your “attention”. You or your partner are distracted, or not into it right then, etc. Bad technique and good technique are hard to define, but bad technique can definitely result in bad sex. A little coaching is one thing, but when you have to do this constantly the whole time, yeah that’s bad sex.
Bad sex is when your partner just. lies. there.
I had a one night stand, once, while camping. About ten minutes in I asked her, “Um… does any of this feel good?”
Her reply: “It doesn’t feel bad.”
sigh
We didn’t continue.
Here you go. Find twenty.
Off to IMHO
Father Jones was walking back to the parish, through a somewhat questionable part of town. As he passed a young lady standing on a street corner, she said, “Hey padre, wanna blow job? $20.” “Er… thank you, no” he replied, unsure what she was asking. A few blocks later, another woman said as he was passing by, “Hey father, wanna blow job? Just $20.” “No, thank you” said Father Jones again, somewhat confused. As he was approaching the parish, yet another woman asked, “Wanna blow job? $20, clergyman’s special.” Once more, Father Jones declined. As he entered the parish, he saw Sister Margaret walking by. He stopped her to ask, “Sister Margaret, what’s a blow job?”
And then you have your punchline. (rimshot)
Bad sex is when you know you spend over an hour being romantic and getting your partner all worked up and ready to go… then he’s done before he even gets all the way in! i’m not kidding, this has happened to me more than once!!!
On the other side, it can be when you lie there for an hour while he tries as hard as he can… it seems like it’s never gonna end (in the bad way)! That has also happened to me - no, not the same guy.
Well, for me bad sex is when you’re just doing it for the sex. You get done with it and find that you feel a bit guilty. I want emotion involved, I want to feel like I’ve made a connection with the woman I’m with. If all it comes down to is that I’ve ‘gotten off’ and so has she…it wasn’t worth it in my book. I’m not talking about being in love, I’m just talking about furthering the relationship.
I’m not one to give advice right now though because lately I’ve had the ‘bad sex’ experience…and I’m not proud of it.

Bad sex is sex you don’t enjoy, and it’s entirely possible to get little or no enjoyment from it. An orgasm by itself doesn’t have to be a terribly spectacular thing, sometimes it’s just a short-lived somewhat-pleasant and very familiar sensation that brings a feeling of release, not unlike taking a piss when you really need to go, only it doesn’t last as long. Usually such orgasms are the result of masturbation and the ones from sex are significantly better, but there have been times that I’ve just been glad it was over. It’s still a sensation worth having if you are alone and there’s nothing better to do, but not really something you want to share with someone you care about. People you are close to can always tell when the sex is bad and the lack of enthusiasm spreads quickly and it ends up being a frustrating and negative experience.
Luckily it can be so much better, and the head-exploding variety makes up for the disappointing kind. After a while you start appreciating other forms of intimacy more, too - good kissing and snuggling is better than bad sex, for instance.
More truth will never be spoken here. Beautiful intimacy is so much harder to find than good sex, but it’s out there. That’s what it’s all about.
Sign of a great relationship is when you’ve just had bad sex and you can both laugh about it.
'Course the sex has to be good most of the time to keep the relationship going but sometimes it just doesn’t work.
Yeah.
I am a person that is really put off by body odor. And I’ve been with a couple of women who…didn’t seem to be that put off by it. The sex wasn’t very enjoyable.
Bad sex? Eh, been there.
My friends and I used to describe it as Teen Icky Awkward Sex. Now that we are no longer teenagers, it’s simply Icky Awkward Post-Teen Icky Awkward Sex.
Any number of things can make sex bad. To me, bad sex is the type of experience that when you think back on it makes you shudder and say “eewwh” aloud, even if no-one’s around to hear you and you’re just quietly reminiscing to yourself.
In my experience, drunkenness is a major contributor to bad sex. It can make sex too long, too boring (senses too dulled) or just plain unfortunate – altogether, a frustrating and awkward experience.
Sobriety aside, body odour is major turnoff. It can be distracting enough to make perfectly good sex bad.
Finally, getting caught in the act automatically puts sex in the “Bad” basket. 
Bad sex
That’s what I had when I was married. Oh wait, that was no sex
