What are some stupid things you've done for love or sex?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) November 7th, 2010

I think that’s pretty self-explanatory…we do many things for love or sex that kind of make sense at the time but later on we look back and wonder what the eff we were thinking…I’ll go

1. When I was a teenager, I convinced myself it was okay not to know where my boyfriend went to school or where he lived or who his friends were…obviously, he had someone else besides me.

2. I admit it…I once bought leopard lingerie and shaved my legs so that the guy I loved would take my virginity, like he needed convincing…or as if he, too, wasn’t cheating on me.

3. I had unprotected sex with a person because I wanted him to think me adventurous – he later became my husband, now ex-husband…

The stupidest thing I did for “love” was give up going to my first choice college and in the process turning down a full ride scholarship. The guy I was dating at the time told me that if I went away to college that would be the end of our relationship. I was young and obviously not thinking straight. I turned down the college, ended up breaking up with him before graduation and joined the Army instead of going to college right away.

I commuted to Ohio every other weekend a few years ago. But I wouldn’t say it was “stupid.” It was kind’a fun actually while it lasted.

Fluther has a limited 5000 word count on replies. I’m sorry but that’s just not enough space for me to even brush the short version. Alas, I must opt out of this excellent question.

I thought I was actually in love and let my ex-wife talk me into marrying her.

I quit school and moved 1,000 miles to be with a girl that I was destined to not end up with.

I drove 3 hours on a work night to see a girl who I’d left 2 weeks before because I realized I loved her and needed to fix things….. she dumped me a few weeks ago.

Is it strange that I can’t really think of anything? I put up with some real douchebag guys, and I was a bit of a douchebag myself for a long period in my life.. but I think that was some sort of emotional crisis, not love.

I spent a lot of money I didn’t have to try and impress… in the end it led no where.

For sex: I let a guy spooge on my face so he would stop harassing me about it, it was very un sexy for me. Strange how something fun with one person can be disgusting and hateful with another.

For love: I left my home, my dog and jeopardized my responsibilities to travel across country with a man who offered me my heart’s desires. I was so convinced he was The One. Oops. His plans didn’t go his way and he put me on a plane back to mama, said he’d send for me when he settled but instead he settled with someone else, very very quickly.

He he spooge. Never heard that term.

HungryGuy's avatar

[NSFW] @NeizvestnayaON your face? That’s a waste of good spooge. It belongs in your mouth or some other body orifice…

@HungryGuy: I know… some people. Sheesh.

Wasted two weekends that required driving 8 hours each way during one of the busiest quarters of my life to have rebound sex with someone who I kind of knew was an asshole but looked really good naked. When I wouldn’t have sex with him at first he gave me a huge guilt trip, then apologized, and then a month later I slept with him anyway. And then he stopped talking to me.

Stupid.

Humped in the great outdoors whilst singing “The hills are alive, with the sound of music.” Now that was stoopid!! Put me off my stroke so it did :¬)

For love: I was in a vulnerable position in my life. A combination of emotions and events over two years caused me to ignore red flags and to lose my reason entirely, I gave up my whole life, and moved across the country to be with her. She turned out to be a sociopath and 8 years later, I am still picking up the pieces from the shit that I went through. I feel like the reckless abandon with which I decided to move was monumentally stupid.

For lust: I could entertain you for an entire evening with stories of all the times I did mind-blowingly stupid things in the name of getting laid. My life is nothing but a black comedy. ;)

The most memorable (and expensive) mistake I made was getting involved with this crazy girl who was in love with my ex. I knew she was crazy and I knew she was just using me to make my ex jealous, but because I knew this, I thought I was one up on her and that I had the situation locked down. I was really bored in my life and in need of some distraction, so I decided to play with fire, especially since crazy girls seem to be wicked good in bed. Well, sadly, she was horrible in bed, like in my bottom two experiences ever, so it wasn’t even worth it.

She was wonderful sober, but was also totally an alcoholic who turned into Mr. Hyde when she got drunk. I was out at the bar with my best friend and she was there, wasted, celebrating her cousin’s birthday. I barely remember the details, but I think she got snarky with me and my best friend stood up for me and then they totally got into it. The crazy girl left not long after that. We left a couple of hours later and when I got in my car, I discovered she had stolen my ignition. Yeah, you heard me right.

HUGE F-ING, EXPENSIVE HASSLE, let me tell you. I got dicked around by the mechanic, too, until my friend’s husband called pretending to be my husband, then they straightened up.

Anyway… yeah.

@MissAnthrope Ugh, I hate when they turn out to be not good in bed and not even worth the crazy…

MissAnthrope's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Seriously! I would feel better and that it was so much more justified if the sex had been good. Totally unfair. Worst sex I’ve ever had with a woman. Robbed! <shakes fist at universe>

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@MissAnthrope This week, I am shaking that same kind of fist.

MissAnthrope's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir – Ugh.. sorry to hear that. :\

I’ve not done anything stupid for sex. For love, I once changed aspects of myself to fit into his life; I spent years with him, unfortunately.
