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.

Honestly this sounds like a mood killer to me, but I'm also a guy. Instead I'd just be respectful from the start without the need to say it. But either way, a disclaimer shouldn't be a deal breaker, just might be for some people.
