Wondering why we don't allow certain topics?


This is a large community dedicated to an extremely popular topic. If you wish to participate, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with our rules of conduct BEFORE you participate here. Failure to do so will result in your removal from the community.

PLEASE READ the FAQ with the most asked and answered questions - BEFORE POSTING!! Posts that do not follow the posting guidelines in the FAQ will be automatically removed.


THE /R/SEX RULES

1) ENGAGE CONSTRUCTIVELY AT ALL TIMES.
This means ensuring that ALL of your contributions here are constructive, on-topic, mature, sex-positive, civil and respectful. Disrespectful conduct will see you banned from the community on the spot. Hitting on other people, asking for pictures (joking or not), making any sort of sexist comment or insult, body shaming, or trolling of any sort will result in your immediate ban.

2) DON’T SKIP THE FAQ OR THE FORUM RULES.
We’re serious about this. Dozens of posts get removed every day because they’re covered in the FAQ or violate the forum rules.

3) DON'T OVERLOOK PAST POSTS.
We’re serious about this, too. Many questions may be new to you, but are very common in our community. Before you submit a post on a common topic, search the forum.

4) ALL CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE SEX POSITIVE.
We demand that consenting adults be free to express their sexuality as they see fit. Kink shaming, slut shaming, and similar conduct will not be tolerated. Links or references to sex negative communities or websites (No Fap, Porn Free, etc) will not be tolerated. Attacks on the lifestyle of other consenting adults will not be tolerated.

5) POSTS SEEK ADVICE, COMMENTS PROVIDE IT.
The main forum is focused primarily on posts seeking specific actionable advice for distinctive personal situations. Giving advice should primarily be done in the comments. General discussions are often allowed, so long as they adhere to the group rules and restricted content guidelines. If you want to make an exception, please request approval from moderators.

6) DO NOT TROLL OR ENGAGE WITH TROLLS HERE.
Don’t try to challenge, question, tease, fight, or outwit trolls here. Instead, use the Report button to alert moderators, who will review every single reported item. Trolling of any sort merits an immediate permaban.

7) ALL DISCUSSION MUST BE DIRECTED INTO THE PUBLIC FORUM. Do not seek private conversations here, via Private Message or any other method. And do not seek to draw attention or clicks to an outside site of any type (unless you have received prior moderator approval, such as for academic research projects). Every comment here must be a clear attempt to engage with an ongoing public discussion in the forum. Violations of this rule will result in permanent bans without notice.

For anyone trying to avoid unwanted DM/chat requests, here's how to change your settings.

8) RESTRICTED CONTENT This sub is generally only for seeking advice, education, or discussion about sex and sexuality. We restrict or forbid many types of content here.

For expanded definitions of these, please see the full /r/sex rules post.


EXAMPLES OF CONTENT RESTRICTED IN /R/SEX:

1) PROMOTIONAL POSTS.
This means any post containing any kind of promotional element, especially one which seeks to lure traffic to another site or promote a product. Links to specific product descriptions are permitted if they’re PRECISELY on-topic in the context of the post, AND the post itself is clearly seeking advice in good faith. If you're trying to sell something, conduct market research, etc - these posts will get you banned. Linking to sex-positive blogs or podcasts is allowed, provided you make an effort to start a conversation here about the topic and use the link as supporting material.

2) LINK POSTS.
Linked material must be sex positive and precisely on-topic to stay up here, and needs to be introduced with a workable framework for discussion. Please see the posted Link Policy BEFORE you post links! Bare links to youtube, images, blogs, podcasts, etc are prohibited.

3) ACHIEVEMENT POSTS.
These include appreciation, humblebrags, “I just had to share,” “I just want to say,” etc. These belong in the Daily Sexual Achievement Thread, not in the main forum. Posts which are JUST sex stories belong somewhere else entirely — like r/sexstories or a similar forum.

4) LOW EFFORT MATERIAL.
“Does anyone else...?”, “Is [X] normal/weird?”, “Is [y] wrong/bad/okay?”, and so forth. Human sexuality is incredibly varied; yes, someone else likes what you like, and labels like "normal" or "weird" are meaningless - and in a sex positive community, we do not allow any moral judgments against sex acts or behaviors that are consensual. Title-only posts, posts with no effort at an actual conversation will be removed and may get you banned. Comments that consist of nothing but memes, "this", "lol" and such are highly disfavored. If comments do not further the discussion, they may be removed; a pattern of these may result in your ban.

5) SEEKING FAP MATERIAL.
Do not ask for sex stories, do not ask for the hottest/strangest/most unusual/etc encounter someone ever had. Do not ask for lists of other people's kinks.

6) PORNOGRAPHY, EROTICA, OR PERSONALS.
You may not post or link pornography or erotica here. You may not share pictures of your genitals here - even if you are seeking medical advice (if you need to post a picture, you need to be going to a doctor). You may not recruit sex partners here, look for dirty chat, ask for someone to private message you, etc.

7) DISRESPECTFUL CONTENT.
Personal attacks, insults, name calling, or disrespect of any sort are not allowed here. Sexism, racism, or any type of hate speech will result in your immediate ban. This is a community for ALL GENDERS - refusing to acknowledge a trans individual's gender flies in the face of this, and will result in your ban.

8) OPINION SEEKING, POLLS, VALUE JUDGEMENTS, OR VALIDATION POSTS.
This forum is not for simply collecting opinions - "do you think [X] is hot?", "Women, do you like [Y]?", "What is your favorite sex position?" and so forth. This is not a forum to discuss your penis size, breast size, labia size, ask about other body image issues, or ask for feedback on your photos. See the /r/sex FAQ for help regarding body image issues. Do not post your pictures and ask people to rate or critique you. Do not ask if given consensual sexual interests are good/bad/okay/wrong, etc.

9) ACADEMIC SURVEYS.
These require prior moderator approval. Moderators will review the question formats and will review the documentation of institutional ethical oversight (please provide). Non-academic surveys are seldom allowed. Please contact the moderators BEFORE you post a survey or study.

10) GENERAL RANTS, ESSAYS, EDITORIALS, VENTS, CONFESSIONS, PSAS, AND AMAS.
These don’t belong in the main forum unless you have obtained prior moderator approval. Save them for story-based forums. Or Tumblr.

11) FREQUENT/FAMILIAR TOPICS.
These are addressed in either the FAQ, past posts, or both. In case you are confused, this means that we do not do penis size posts here, nor can we tell if you or your partner are pregnant.

12) VAGUE TITLE/TOPIC.
If a moderator can’t identify your issue or the type of advice you’re seeking, your post will be subject to removal. Titles should be at least several words long and adequately express what your post is about.

13) NONCONSENSUAL OR ILLEGAL CONTENT.
/r/sex is for the discussion of consensual sex among adults. We do not permit posts that advocate pedophilia, bestiality, rape, or incest here under any circumstances, nor do we allow these topics at all in most instances. Note that BDSM and CNC (consensual nonconsent) are perfectly valid topics in /r/sex.

14) OTHER OFF TOPIC ISSUES.
This is not the place to discuss politics or religion, to seek dating advice, to ask for how to pick up women, to rant about how you have never had sex. Posts that appear to be dedicated to stirring up arguments - particularly about hot button topics like circumcision, the evils of pornography and/or masturbation, and other toxic subjects - will be removed and will result in swift bans.

For a complete list of restricted content, see the rules sticky.

How far do you go during a blow job?

As in, do you suck the full length of the guy’s dick?

I have always gone as far as I can (maybe 4 inches?) and then use my hand at the base for anything I can’t comfortably get my mouth to. No one has ever complained

However, the last three guys I’ve dated have moved my hand to push their whole dick in my mouth so their head hits the back of my throat. That is very uncomfortable to me so I tell them to stop and they do.

The first time it happened I assumed it was just that guy’s thing but now I’m wondering if taking the guys entire dick in your mouth is standard for blow jobs?? The guys I’ve been with are a normal size (6-7 inches?) but I can’t handle the whole thing and am wondering if I’m unusual.. appreciate any insight thanks

I only want sex

I don’t want to be in a relationship. I don’t have the time, money, or energy to deal with a girlfriend. I’d go as far to say very bluntly that I don’t care for any of that(at least for now). But I do still crave sex. Intensely. It feels weird to go about. I’m told I’m attractive, even blatantly lusted after from the mouths of women themselves, but it’s not a common thing(women are typically reserved). I’m in great shape, good hygiene, and have fashion sense. Maybe it’s for better or for worse, but I’ve realized how blunt I can be. I don’t like to play games(unless it’s foreplay), but I experience on and off time as a result. I find it exhausting. I understand you don’t just plug a woman with your meat the moment you lay eyes on her, but I’m blunt because I don’t like being lead on. I also understand not everybody appreciates casual sex without a relationship. Weird dilemma. Thoughts?

Make him go crazy abt me or what can I do? Should I space things out a bit and not be all over him sm and maybe he will run to me more? Idk what I should do. Currently l've just been talking when he talks or l've been trying to keep to myself more but I don't want to seem like l'm upset at him cuz l'm not lol. Well anyways what should I do? Also I'm so fucking talkative maybe I should talk less cuz he could get annoyed from how much I talk? What are some changes I can make to make him come to me more or sum?

Burning and numb sensation when I swallow

So, i've never experienced this with another guy. But everytime my boyfriend cums in my mouth I get this burning and stinging sensation. Like iv'e been putting pepper in my mouth? After a while I start feeling numb and it lasts for a couple of hours.

It's not uncomfortable at all, just weird.

Anyone else experienced this? Why is this happening? I don't think it's affected by what he has been eating, he eats just normal things and this happens litterally every time.

Has anyone ever been with a couple?

I’m curious to know about whether people tend to date couples, or have sex with couples, or if there are any couples out there who share a partner or ever have. I’m 20F, bisexual, and one of my biggest fantasies is to be with a couple one day, just once to try it out. It seems so interesting to me: how the dynamics would work, how it would happen. I’m the type of person to like creativity and desire, and I don’t know much about threesomes or couples so I wouldn’t know anything about how that would work, or if this is just one of my silly fantasies.

I’ve never actually heard of anyone who’s been with a couple, or any couples that are willing to open to a third party. So, the thought makes me curious: is it a polyamory thing? Or is it just having a threesome? I’ve heard of couples who like to have threesomes, but I guess it all depends on the person.

I’m curious to know if this has ever been a reality to anyone, or if anyone has an experience.

How do you deal with some of wants not being satisfied?

Personally, I like it a little rougher, but my partner is the sweetest guy who doesn’t like that. Even if he wants to try, it just ends up with me telling him what to do and that kind of kills the mood for me. Like I want a man to take me and ravish me, I want him to be a little more dominant. Instead we have the same vanilla sex all the time. I tried breaching this topic with him but it’s always the same result. I can understand that he’s not into that, but how do you get over Never having Sex like that again? I know fantasies are a thing but it’s just not the same.

Sex started hurting

Hi Reddit, I, 23f and my boyfriend, 23m have been together for almost 3 years now. We are in a long distance relationship and see each other for a few days every two months. We've had sex since shortly after getting together and it used to be really enjoyable. Since some time now though, it has started hurting really badly for me. He's pretty big down there and we've tried different lubes and I'm always using a vibrator. We've also tried slow sex and different positions. But nothing seems to help. My gynocologist says everything's fine physically. He recommended some muscle relaxers but I don't want to take those every time I'm having sex. My bf suggests that I should get a dildo in his size and use it when we're apart. I am very against the idea though since I don't have a lot of privacy and am simply not in the mood most days after working 8 hours. Back when we started having sex and it felt good, I had a significantly less busy life. Every time I see him, I'm using my paid time off though and am basically "on vacation". The pain occurs either when he enters or after sex. The pain after sex is equivalent to period cramps. I can't really describe the pain when he enters but it occurs mainly at my opening.

Has anyone else had similar issues or knows what might help?

Thank you very much in advance for your advice.

Should I receive head? Did/Do you regret your first time getting head?

This is a genuine question.
For context: My girlfriend (F18) asked one time if I (M19) wanted to get head. She definitely wants to go to the next level in the relationship, but I'm really not sure if I'm comfortable with it. I've always "shunned" the idea of having sex or getting head, and when she suggested it I had a gut "uncomfortable" reaction. However, I'm worried that she sees it as the only way to progress the relationship, and that if I don't she might break up with me (I haven't asked her, I don't know if she was just curious if I wanted to or not).
In your guys' experiences, do you regret your first time? Do you wish that you could take it back for whatever reason?
(Also, wondering if there are better subreddits to post this to).

My bf's sex drive as fallen and I'm not sure what to do.

My bf and I have been dating for two years and we've been having sex for one. When we first started we did it as much and as often as we could since we were both living with our parents. I would say that our sex drives were fairly well matched, but he was the one to always initiate and be in control. He got his own place and the amount of sex we had went through the roof for a while, but over the past few months it's taken a huge dive.

He initiates way less and pretty much only when I stay the night. I started initiating much more, and while he doesn't say 'no' and we still have sex, it's much shorter, and the passion we used to have isn't there. He still tries to make sure I cum, but sometimes he stops there and says that he wants to cuddle instead.

Last night we were cuddling and I started touching him and I put my hand down his pants, but he stopped me and said he just want to lay there with me. I tried to push him a little but he was inistant (I didn't realize it till later, but it was wrong to push him) but that's the first and only time he's flat out said no to sex.

Several months ago he wanted to try some of his fantasies and kinks, which at the time I wasn't ready for. But now I'm worried that he's gotten bored with our fairly vanilla sex, or that he's loosing his attraction to me.

I know I need to apologize for trying to push him, but I'm not sure how to go about addressing our sex issue.

My clit twitches whenever I’m provoked sexually

I feel that when I get excited, say by a thought or I feel provoked sexually, it sends directly a stimulation to my clit. It feels very good but it also makes me feel very much like needing to cover it. It’s like getting an invisible hard on. I don’t know how to word that. I have an easy time orgasming, probably as fast as men. Been wondering if feeling this way is normal in women. Thanks

My dick got fucked

I took a girl home and fucked her all night and longer. It was amazing, we kept doing it and I must have pushed it to my limits because some hours after she left, I saw that my dick was all swollen up like a blob. Feels like it's filled with liquid and at the middle of it, there are like 2 rings where the skin goes inwards. Has anyone had anything similar and know any thing I can do?

i feel so embarrassed

okay so a while back i (19F) was chilling with my bf (21M), watching a tv show and cuddling. think he was stroking my head, then i think i kissed his hand and playfully bit it (super gently ofc), and then i kissed one of his fingers, and he moved his fingers into my mouth so i started sucking on them sensually. he said, and i quote, 'why does this turn me on?'. we had sex soon after, that was about a month ago.

ever since, i've been mentioning it from time to time during sexting (we're in a ldr) - sucking on his fingers as part of foreplay. the other day i mentioned it in a non-sexual convo (after he sent a pic w his hand in it) and he was like 'ok i have to ask, what is up with the finger sucking thing? im not into it. im not not into it, but im not actively into it'. i just felt so confused and rejected because i'm so used to doing everything right sexually lmao. i mean this is my first relationship so i dont have a load of data but i'm not used to sexual rejection basically.

i felt like he thought it was super weird and he basically said that if i'm only mentioning it because i think it turns him on, then i shouldn't. which is totally fair ig. i was like 'oh sorry i must have got the wrong idea when you said that it turned you on when i did it', but quickly said gn after, and he didn't respond to the message where i mentioned that he said it turned him on, he just said gn. i went and cried. ik it's ridiculous and childish. but i just felt so embarrassed!!

it doesn't help that im a highly sensitive person but it there a way to stop feeling embarrassed and criticised at the smallest sexual 'rejection'?

What makes libido disappear?

I’ve been wondering about this lately. Obviously, normally things like depression and stress play a role, but what could be other factors I’m disregarding? For context: I’m a 33 y/o. I used to have a normal to high libido a while ago, which was fairly consistent for years, but right now there is nothing. My stress levels have lowered, I’m feeling pretty content in life, I have been dating someone I really like, but my desire for sex is gone. It all just seems like a chore somehow. I’m looking for reasons my libido may have called it quits on me but everything I read about it cites stress as a source.

How do I ensure he's sexually satisfied?

We are students 20f and 22m so we can't meet often for sex. He used to be a porn addict so he quit before we started dating. Both of us have high sex drives When he gets horny and we can't meet, he tells me he imagines porn stars and gets hard but he doesn't masturbate. How can I make sure he's satisfied sexually if we aren't meeting often? Does it have to be nudes?

Does anyone sext thru Reddit outside of their relationship?

I’ve been guilty of this and been down the rabbit hole. It’s got to be common is what I’m guessing. I’ve talked to people and there’s stuff I’d never say in person to someone but I’m comfortable saying it here.. to the point at where it’s “sexting”.

This would be a form of cheating or no? Definitions may be different.

Watching videos during sex

My fiancée watches videos of me masturbating while I play with him and I’m not sure what I think of it. Why would it be necessary to watch a video while the person is right in front of you? Is this some sort of kink?

How should men take nudes?

My girl and I have been sexting each other whenever we can’t meet up and I swear she’s a professional photographer with things like posing and shot composition and shit, meanwhile I’m just sending pictures of my hard member at different angles. She says she likes those pics, but I still want to up my game for her.

I guess I’m just not sure how to get attractive angles/poses of my body, or what even is a turn-on for women. I don’t exactly have a full length mirror (or any mirror tbh) in my room, so for the time being photos that require one have to be in the bathroom.

Unsure and nervous about how to request beginner bondage/use of silicone handcuffs

I have been having amazing sex with my FWB for several months now. He knows that I like mild kink, such as spanking and hair pulling, and has been more than willing to do those things with me.

However, I purchased some silicone handcuffs a while ago and have been wanting to try them out -- with my partner using them on me, just for context. They stayed in the drawer when I was with my ex because I just never had the particular urge to try them with him, but I find myself really wanting to experience them at least once with my FWB. I'm curious about what it would be like and would hope that we could repeat the experience if I do end up liking it! I just don't know how exactly to bring it up or ask him. I am also afraid of squicking him out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Guy pulled out and started wanking in between sex

So, this guy was fucking me the other day and would intermittently pull out and jerk off. I thought at first that it was for him to get harder, but he felt to be as hard as a brick. I have never had anyone do that, so I basically just want to understand if there’s any reasoning behind it

Not had sex in a while

So I M21 haven't had sex in over a month. And I'm afraid that my fiancé F23 is going to think that I'll cum too quickly. And I also think this. She is on the "permanent pill" (rod in shoulder) and would also like me to cum inside of her. But I've always had to pull out with previous partner's. Any idea on how I can get around that. And how can I tell myself not to cum too quickly whilst in her. Normally last with her a good 2 mins maybe. Edit: I live away from my fiancé. So yeah. I see her in 2 weeks aswell. Advice will be greatfully appreciated

Good shows for couples?

Does anyone have any recommendations for sex themed shows that a couple could watch? Not porn per say, but someone akin to Real sex that used to play in HBO.

I haven't doing a streaming service that offers any.

Has anybody tried something new that they thought they would never do but it ended up being their thing?

me (19M) and my gf(20) have always kinda been into base level stuff when it comes to sex, don’t get me wrong I love everything we do but we never really did anything out of the ordinary besides maybe me being dom by choking, slapping,name calling and what not but tbh that is very normal in today’s sex climate 😭, one thing I always loved doing to my gf was sensitivity torture and while we were on the topic of talking about that she brought up the idea of doing that to me and i was kinda like nahhhh because I didn’t want her to see me the way I see her when I do that but one day when we were doing what we do and she was giving me head and I was telling her I was about to finish she ended up going harder and I didn’t think much of it until i had already climaxed and she was still going and when I tell you I have never felt something so painful but pleasurable and i was like okay okay thats it but she kept going for the next 2 minutes i deadass thought I was gonna pass out I kept seeing black dots in my vision and shit 😭 and NO JOKE caught a foot cramp cuz of all the curling, she also had me saying things that I KNOW I don’t say which i’m still teased for till this day but at a point i was like “okay thats it for real” and she got off me and when i tried to sit back straight my stomach collapsed and it did a little weird twitch thing that i have never seen before and she thought that was the funniest thing in the world while I was just sitting there embarrassed. Now I can’t go without that, but i’m also kinda curious why the male body does that, I know thats completely different than the title question but I kinda wanna know the science behind all that😭.

New to masturbating and watching porn and I think I may be developing a race kink & porn addiction?

I’m not sure if this sub is the right place to ask these questions.

I 29f am not new to sex. I have had previous sexual partners but no serious relationship. Until a few months ago I had NEVER masturbated before. I had tried but I never got any sexual satisfaction from it, that is until a friend gifted me a sex kit.

The kit has a small battery powered vibrator in it and I slowly started to mess about with it. Over time I have come to love my little vibrator. I watched videos online showing me how to use it etc etc. Fast forward to now approximately 7.5 months after receiving the toy, I am HOOKED 2-8 times a day I can be found masturbating. Is this normal?

Not only am I masturbating a lot but I have to watch/listen to porn. But not just any porn. Interracial. BWWM. BWC. If it’s not any of those categories I won’t cum. Why this worries me is because while I have been with men of different races in the past, I have never fantasised about BWC or white males like I do now. When I wake up in the morning that’s all I think about and I grab my device to get my fix. Before I go to bed I have to watch porn and use my toy or I can’t sleep. It’s all I think about hence why I think I may have a race kink? Is this normal?

I have not had sex with a man in a very long time, so I wonder if these feelings are because of that? I am also super active in the gym and have dropped quite a bit of weight, could that also be a reason for my increased libido (even though I’ve always had a high sex drive)?

I have tried talking to one of my female friends about this and she looked at me like I had 5 heads. Do I need to seek therapy?

Boyfriend (27M) does not initiate sex due to past trauma

I (25F) have been dating this guy for 3 years but it is mostly long distance due to work and school. We are in a committed relationship, and I have no issues except that our sex life is dead. We both have been extremely stressed with life and work (due to the job market) since a year now. For context, I have a steady job and he is still in school.

Recently he told me that he experienced some form of sexual abuse in his pre teens from bullying (the memories suddenly resurfaced after years). He is not comfortable with telling me more, and I respect that. He is finally seeking therapy too.

Here is the problem : we were quite physical when we started dating, but it has been over a year since we have had sex (we are long distance, but meet once every 2-3 months) I have been desperate for some action and have told him that (this was before he mentioned his past). It is affecting me as I have a high libido and it is affecting my work life. I have tried masturbating, but it is him that I crave.

Question : What is something I can do 1) with him while respecting his boundaries? 2) by myself so I can focus on other things?

TLDR; Dead bedroom due to stress and his past trauma resurfacing. Need suggestions on how to navigate the situation

My Frenulum Got Cut

Long story short, the frenulum on the head of my penis got cut almost a year ago when accidentally hitting a tooth during oral. Since then, it has healed a few times but just keeps ripping back open, even after going to the doctor and them saying I’m good to go after waiting over a month for it to heal. Even when I’ve gone slow, not been rough, used lots of lube, it has still ended up ripping. It’s painful asf. Right now, I just finished a cycle of steroids prescribed by my doctor for the cut area, and have not had sex or masturbated in over a month. Planning on waiting until the end of summer (with maybe some small tests to see how healed I am) throughout the summer.

Currently, me and my girlfriend have been abstaining for just over a month for the second time, I am very grateful for her for sticking with me through this difficulty. Our sex life has been the best I’ve ever had (and her as well from what she’s told me), and this has put a hold on it for the moment which has been really frustrating because of how much I want to experience with her as we both have quite explorative personalities.

This “incompetence” to have sex has let to quite distressing thoughts in my head. It has made me really anxious about sex and has really hurt my self confidence. I will obviously do anything for my girlfriend, and LOVE eating her out. I know I’m not useless, but it feels that way with this injury. Even talking about sex and kinks lowkey makes me feel like shit because I don’t know how long this is gonna go on for, and I know my girlfriend loves having me inside her, and I can’t do that for her right now.

I’m honestly looking for any advice you guys have, if you’ve experienced this or not. Any thoughts are appreciate too!

Gf is a virgin and penetration is painful - any tips

Hello, my girl and I have been trying to have sex and it has been difficult as she finds it painful since it's her first time. We have taken most obvious precautions like foreplay, lube, fingering, and bought a dildo to get her used to it and that went well. The main issue is when we try to have sex she immediately tenses up and it becomes impossible, she has a very hard time relaxing for penetration. With the dildo we bought, while it is slightly smaller she has no issue. We are looking for any tips to help her relax for penetration, or a way around the issue.

Kinks to try out

Me (29) and my gf (29) were discussing kinks and we’re both pretty basic when it comes to sex. Any recommendations to spice things up?
