Regrets?

[Red_Kiss]

Hi all,

I've had a few instances lately where a male friend has commented "I can't believe I had sex with that woman." So it has made me curious, do men seem to have this regret more often than women? Is it equal? And why do they feel this way? Do men and women feel regret for different reasons? (Obviously non-consensual experiences are an entirely different matter.)

PS: I'm new, please be gentle.

I have regrets about sleeping with women but really only one in the way you mean.

Eh, there have been experiences I wouldn't do twice, but I don't regret them. At the least, I got experience.

i'm disinclined to think there's a gender-based disparity here. i tend to think that allegations of gender differences are overstated.

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted intercourse, each careful shag along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

 

[NightL]

I'm sure there is a high percentage of bitter divorcees who regret that first shag

I have none about the sex.

I'm pretty particular when I actually decide to close the deal.

I am sure I'm probably seeking validation when I'm flirtatious and or interested in meeting new people and stepping inside their guard.

When the sparks aren't pretty incredible feeling from the start I don't go through with it.

And it's not that the sex every time has been wonderful for either me or them but it was always worth doing.

The interpersonal stuff surrounding the afterwards has left me feeling used more often than them I suspect. Modern girls are pretty calloused when it comes to sex I find.

I have a theory about modern women, and it seems to be true. And my theory pertains to separated women only.

A woman alone eventually surrenders to her social and sexual needs, and if she's desperate any port in a storm will do. So a guy needs to be alert to this, because he can find himself being used for a good meal and a good time till Mister Right comes along or Daddy leaves the Floozy and comes back home. I know women who try and wait for the Floozy to tire of Daddy, so they can capture him again.

Widows do it differently, and try to close the sale if youre close enough to their ideal to be a keeper. Old Maids are lost causes after theyre 22 or so.

As a general rule of thumb, you regret things that you didn't do. Everything else is just a mistake.

The only woman I ever regretted having sex with is the one that turned out to be mentally unstable, eventually went bonkers, and told my wife about it just to get even with me and to try to wreck my marriage. She almost did. It cost thousands of dollars in lawyers fees to take her to court for harrassment and to pay a therapist for marriage counseling.

I suppose we all have regrets about what we did or didn't do in life. We can't live in the past. Unfortunately, we make decisions at one moment in time and then have to live with the consequences.

 

[KlaytonFrost]

I regret nothing, least of all something as fun and beautiful as sex. I feel sorry for those who do.

Looking back, I have more regrets about the sex I did NOT have than the sex I did. Only one really that I can say with certainty was an utter mistake, but I don't dwell on it.

I definitely feel like I shouldn't have had sex with some of the partners I had earlier - there were women who I had recreational sex with and we went our own ways after, but sex can also be a threshold experience which puts everything that follows on a different plane between the partners. In that way, I probably shouldn't have had as much sex as I've had. If sex comes at the cost of friendship, how good can it be?

No regrets except the ones I didn't fuck. hehe

pity we haven't met...

I regret never doing things for me, but always for others...It's never appreciated. I've made enough mistakes to write 10 songs.... Most mistakes I do not regret- they made me who I am today.

I regret not staying where I belong

I put everything I do to the rocking chair test. When I'm 100 sitting in my rocking chair and I'm looking back on my life, I don't want to have regrets about anything. I get myself into some predicament's but they always amuse me in the process. Life is good and I want to taste all of the flavors!!!!

I have only one regret about having sex with a young lady. We were both drunk and it was just something that shouldn't have been done. Thankfully it didn't ruin our relationship and we never went there again.
Never had a "I can't believe" experience.
Most of my regrets are about not continuing in a relationship after a series of enjoyable interactions mainly when I was inexperienced in my early twenties.

I hate to sound crude but if it wasn't for the fact I cheated (sexless marriage or not) it eventually brought me into the arms of the one woman who won my heart hook line and sinker.....
