NSFW- Does the whole reproduction thing seem farcical when you think about it?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) August 19th, 2011

Sex seems very serious and important to me in the moments prior to and during the act.

Later, in reflective moments, upon imagining myself, or others, engaging in these activities, I struggle to stifle a fit of laughter. Just the looks on people’s faces, for instance.

Does anyone else occasionally find the activity absurd? Or a particular related activity?

Sex is really, really weird if you think about it.

LOL. Sex is a messy business. That’s for sure.

“oh oh oh, I’m gonna cum, grrrrr! ahhh…. wtf is wrong with me, I need help” is the exact thought process.

Yes, as reality comes rushing back, for a few minutes it is all very strange. Usually it is my tastes and partners tastes that make me think it is all strange.

Yes. It happens to me all the time. A lot. Not laughter as such, but weird thoughts as to why people do that, and how they do it, and how strange certain positions are, how overrated sex is, all kinds of things. I even see me doing it and remember how funny or weird it was to do this or that, the noise, the faces, the positions. But in the moment prior to it or while doing it, none of these weird thoughts come to mind at all.

No, it’s still all fun and adventure for me. I hope it will always be so more than it becomes routine and a comfort memory of positions and faces past.

I remember a Golden Girls episode where one of them was talking about not being on top once you got older because your face hung down. Then they got a mirror out and looked down at their faces, which were hanging. Yeah, I want to be on the bottom now.

Guys, how about doggie…isn’t that really weird? Like for the girl?

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

@Porifera they say they love it and I am like? wha? You know we look foolish right?

chyna's avatar

Who is “they”?

Porifera's avatar

@imadethisup I know….it’s so weird…

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

@chyna people. On the internet. in a movie i watched.

Porifera's avatar

LOL…this is crazy….too funny…

Yes, it seems weird to me sometimes. Being homosexual, it seems even weirder since there’s not a whole lot of sense to being attracted to the same sex since there’s not even a possibility of reproduction. Doesn’t stop me from doing it, though. What’s pleasurable is pleasurable…

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

I am glad to get your opinion @DominicX, I just said reproduction to keep the title kinda work safe.

I wonder if people in homosexual relationships can joke about it more, or if you are just as uptight as straight people in discussing the goofy.

Farcical implies pretense. That’s not how I have sex. It doesn’t seem weird to me either, seems kind of great.

incendiary_dan's avatar

I think that means you’re doing it wrong.

Porifera's avatar

I think @Imadethisupwithnoforethought meant farcical as laughable not as a farce. He also said before sex, not during…

far·ci·cal (färs-kl)

1. Of or relating to farce.
2.

Sex is hilariously funny if you think about it too hard… no pun intended.

As to doggy looking funny.. who cares.. it’s what it feels like that matters.

And have you thought about how your face looks when you are having an orgasm or the noises we make…

I used to have a friend who admitted to me that when she met men, she used to imagine what their faces would look like as they were climaxing…. I am just putting it out there…

It is sort of weird if you think about it. There have been many times where I just burst out laughing in the heat of things because of how ridiculous my partner sounded.

Supacase's avatar

@chyna I remember that episode! The downside of being on bottom, as I recall, was your breasts falling under your armpits. Or something like that.

Blackberry's avatar

I know exactly what you mean. I always want to laugh at the way the guy just humps no different than a dog essentially lol. Or the way some women squirm like they’re being possessed by spirits when on top.

FluffyChicken's avatar

Sex is really fun. I rarely take it too seriously, but once in a while, I do. I could REALLY use some silly fun right about now. I seriously need it…

I just realized one of your tags is “nothing on tv” that’s sooooo silly and I love it.

wundayatta's avatar

You can easily make fun of it if you choose to. Me, I’m too much into it to ever think about how I look. After it’s over, there’s a lot of other things to do with my partner. So really, it’s not a source of humor. Just a source of pleasure. Just a way to express love. Just a way to get out of my mind and into my body. It’s a sacred thing for me. It’s only funny when you’re self-conscious. I got better things to do with my time than thinking about how I look.

Doggy style. :) Makes me wonder if dogs are laughing when they are doing it. Ever notice a male dog will have his tongue hanging out to one side and he mouth wide open as if he is laughing.
Maybe he finds it funny too.

@KateTheGreat There have been many times where I just burst out laughing in the heat of things because of how ridiculous my partner sounded.

I did this once. For some reason her facial expression just seemed completely hilarious to me. I couldn’t stop laughing! Luckily she was so deep (hehe) in the moment she didn’t even notice me cracking up. I got lucky, if she had noticed I would have been in trouble ;)

There are only two scenarios where I believe the act of sexual congress could rightly be considered farcical.
1: When fucking on a trampoline wearing clown suits.
2: The very first occasion, for both parties.
Other than that humping is great!!

augustlan's avatar

Sex is hilarious and awesome, all at the same time. Win.

@KateTheGreat I’ve had to stifle a laugh or two when a guy was trying to talk dirty to me.

Porifera's avatar

@ucme LOL…Will try #1 and get back to you on that one :D

ucme's avatar

@Porifera Good for you, happy humping bouncing!! ;¬}
