You mixed up prudishness and sexual compatibility with you
Helene Send a noteboard - 16/06/2011 05:21:31 PM
I think a number of the things you listed are indeed closely related with prudishness, but several of them are more closely related to sexual compatibility with you.
Yes. This is clearly prudish.
Definitely prudish.
This isn't necessarily prudish. It can just be a preference.
This doesn't need to be due to prudishness at all. A lot of people simply do not care for anal sex. It's a delicate part of the body and easily hurt. Also, don't forget that women don't have prostates.
By your definition, is a man also a prude if he's unwilling to take it up the ass (e.g. strap on)?
This is really silly. There are just very uncomfortable positions. Entirely unrelated to being a prude.
Yes, this is most likely related to prudishness.
Prudishness.
So if your wife wants you to dress up in female underwear and prance around the room, or wants you to wear a diaper and suck on a pacifier, and you say no, you are a prude? Of course, this one doesn't need to indicate prudishness at all.
1. Needing the lights off for sex (or unwilling to have sex during day)
Yes. This is clearly prudish.
2. Uncomfortable discussing sex
Definitely prudish.
3. Unwilling to perform oral sex
This isn't necessarily prudish. It can just be a preference.
4. Unwilling to perform anal sex
This doesn't need to be due to prudishness at all. A lot of people simply do not care for anal sex. It's a delicate part of the body and easily hurt. Also, don't forget that women don't have prostates.
By your definition, is a man also a prude if he's unwilling to take it up the ass (e.g. strap on)?
5. Unwilling to engage in certain sexual positions (counts twice)
This is really silly. There are just very uncomfortable positions. Entirely unrelated to being a prude.
6. Uncomfortable with bodily fluids secreted during sex
Yes, this is most likely related to prudishness.
7. Unwilling to masturbate in front of sexual partner
8. Issues with noises during sex
9. Feeling that sex is "wrong" or "sinful" (within or outside marriage)
10. Pathological need to shower after sex (i.e., not associated with removing odor from sweating or having come all over one's face and needing to conduct business after sex)
11. Unwilling/uncomfortable looking at self or others naked or genitalia or other erogenous zones
8. Issues with noises during sex
9. Feeling that sex is "wrong" or "sinful" (within or outside marriage)

11. Unwilling/uncomfortable looking at self or others naked or genitalia or other erogenous zones
Prudishness.
12. Unwilling/uncomfortable trying fetish requested by partner that is not dangerous or painful
So if your wife wants you to dress up in female underwear and prance around the room, or wants you to wear a diaper and suck on a pacifier, and you say no, you are a prude? Of course, this one doesn't need to indicate prudishness at all.
