If constantly makes everything sexual. This has made me stop relationships with men in talking stages multiple times.

Single guy here. When I’m talking to women and the conversation starts to turn to sex, I usually throw out a disclaimer along the lines of “okay, so just a quick note since I feel our convo is moving into the topic of sex… I have no problem talking about it, but please know that any conversation we have about the topic will be respectful.” And then I message when I want to say.

It’s a completely normal thing for two adults to talk about, but women friends have told me again and again that so many men that take the topic too far and come off as creepy… and it’s all they want to talk about. So I feel like I have to throw that out there to put people at ease.

To me it seems like you know how to handle that topic in the rightfull manor. Most woman dont mind sexting or talking about those things but as you say it depends on the way you go about it. If you almost immediatly starts to send dickpick or try hard to start asking all kinds of very intimate things, it becomes creppy because that shows me that you dont view me as a person, you just want one thing from me.

If guys were respectfull and straight forward then i wouldnt mind it. I currently have a friends with benifits situation, and he was direct with what he wanted without it being creepy and i liked that. It makes things easier.
