Yeah, I think we need this option in the poll. I won’t even interrupt dinner to answer a text.
But my take on the cousin issue: not such a big deal, really. And it wouldn’t be any kind of issue for me personally, but I might hesitate to pursue a future round two if I felt like it would make things unusually awkward at family gatherings. The cousin and I would have to have a conversation about this over breakfast.
I live in the South, but I wasn’t born here. So this is a really tough decision.
I rather glad the title did not have a ‘need answer fast’ part.
Good sex or mediocre sex? It makes a difference.

Put your sister to the test
All human beings are cousins. I live in California, a first cousin state, for a reason. The weather and I was born here.
I’m confused about Bea and Kay. Were they your sisters or not? Cousins? Why did you tell us this story?
For all the people who are side-stepping the question by getting affronted by a partner taking a text message: Let’s say it’s an answering machine instead, and you both hear your mom’s message.
If you explain what the relationship actually is between you and Bea/Kay, maybe I could.
Bragging, I assume, though I’m not sure if even Ducati believes his various tall tales.
I’d be freaked out and stop, I hope.

I believe that’s some sort of code for B and K. I think he’s trying to say he has a ‘Whopper’. I don’t know if it that refers to the story or his dick.
This could never happen to me.
I don’t have a cellphone.
Me either.
My mother never sends texts.
What with not having a cellphone.
And being dead.
No, I think the answer is here, emphasis added:
So, not his sisters or cousins.
So what if you had a special ringtone for your moms old cell phone and it rang with that tone…would you stop sex then.
I’m pretty sure that the answer is always “don’t stop in mid-sex.” There are, of course, exceptions (which would be a splendid topic for a thread) but finding out that you’re partner is your long-lost cousin isn’t one of them.
I’m seconding dracoi.
OTOH,
But hey, it’s two of us, remember – OK so we both hear it over the answering machine (who still uses that sort of answering machine? everyone I know uses voicemail! never mind)… and what if ***she *** is like “oh, wow, keep doing that you were doing, don’t you stop nooowww!!”.
…I’d feel kind of obligated to follow her guidance, y’know

So is it the story, or his dick, that’s the ‘Whopper’?
Is this a “need answer fast” situation?
Help me understand. Do you always check text messages from your mom during your first sex with exciting people? If so, I’d say the texting is the thing you should stop.
I chose option 4 (dogs and cats…) because who the heck picks up their cellphone for a text mid-coitus? Even Jack Bauer would wait until afterward.
