Is it normal that there is a unanimous red-flag response to men demanding sex?

This is in response to "is it normal that he demanded to see my privates"

I've never gone violent nor yelled wanting sex. persistent and assertive sure, quit the foreplay after a few no's and curled up in the fetal position... sure. I can't remember but I'm sure I've even made a fuss/big deal/frustrated by a girl not putting out either.

but, wow I never knew that if a guy acted aggressively/demanding to his gf for sex, he was straight up leave-worthy. is it really that big of a red flag and not even worth a conversation with him or is is it normal just trigger happy at the slightest imperfection in other people's mates?

Cause in my mind being demanding (for lack of a better word) for sex is fine? Clearly there is a line between OK and not-OK? Who can be a good samaritan and describe it for me?

PS: I'm a dude and not the OP of the original thread. proof: beer, boobies, and barbies

  • I don't think it's okay to even be persistent. I've been too persistent once or twice before, and even I recognise that behaving that way is wrong and doesn't deserve to yield results. No means no.

    Heck, I'm a guy and if a girl was pressuring me for sex I didn't want to have I'd take it as a red flag. I wouldn't have a conversation with them; if a person doesn't listen when you say no, why would it be worth having a conversation about it with them? They clearly don't listen to you or care what you want unless it suits them, so there's no point. I'd leave someone who made me uncomfortable in that way, and I'd encourage someone else who felt uncomfortable with their sexually aggressive partner to do that same.

  • Its not okay when shes constantly saying no and he keeps demanding it and not letting her move until she gives in. Thats basically rape and its never ok.

  • No means no. Why should anyone male or female put up with a so called significant other who can't respect the word no? I certainly don't have the time or inclinanation to waste on anyone who doesn't respect my wishes. I can't stand persuasive and demanding people who feel entitled to always getting what they want.

    If being told no ocassion is so unbearable then I suggest the selfish and demanding one leave and find someone else. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

  • Seriously? She said no and he still pressured her into it. Do you really think that is acceptable behaviour? Being in a relationship with someone doesn't give you unlimited access to your partner's body. If they don't want it you back the fuck off.

  • It depends on how aggressively one is 'demanding.' You could make the argument that the distinction between demanding and asking is purely semantic, but ultimately the point is this: If someone is uncomfortable having sex, pressuring them to do so is wrong.

  • Your last post made it seem as if you were extremely uncomfortable with the situation. Also, the fact that you said, "Is it normal I felt raped?" is a big red flag.

    It's okay for guys to be aggressive at times, but not to the point where you feel violated and scared. The fact that he didn't even ask for your consent in the last post says a lot about him.

  • If somebody says they don't want to have sex with you, they don't want to do it. No convincing them, no pressuring, NONE because then they will either think you're an asshole or they'll do it, still not wanting to, just to a) get you to shut up or b) make you happy, even if it makes them sad. Having sex with someone when they don't want to have sex with you is RAPE.

    • ignore the title. i now realize i could've made the poll custom and multiple-choice, instead of forcing my title to conform to "IIN?"

  • Well I'm a chick, and ny first girlfriend rarely would ever satisfy my needs. I would pleasure her, and then when she came she would just roll over and not touch me at all. I would just stare at her back, hoping she would realize I was still horny and wanted to be fingered, but nothing really worked. I would playfully tease her, plead with her, subtly hint, outright ask.... Nothing would convince her. Then the bitch cheated on me... So yeah if someone lets you pleasure them but never takes care of your needs, they are not the one for you.

    • She was a selfish flake. I would have been emotionally generous and given you an exquisite fingering. You sound like a nice person with lots of healthy sexuality.
