It’s no secret that what gets someone’s engine going may leave yours sputtering out.

While a perfectly tailored suit on a man might do it for some, others prefer a more ‘undone’ look, and there’s a fine line between dirty talk that makes you climax – or cringe.

And now, a popular Reddit thread has seen people share the things that are ‘supposed to be sexy’, but do absolutely nothing for them.

From kinks to sex in unusual places, there was no shortage of surprising turn off confessions, with nearly 5,000 people keen to reveal what has them swiftly exiting the bedroom.

Perhaps you can relate — or perhaps it’s a case of one man’s trash, is another man’s pleasure…

The ‘daddy’ kink

The term ‘daddy’ has been used in a sexual context for literally hundreds of years – back in the 1600s, sex workers used the term to refer to their pimps.

But just because it’s an oldie, it’s not necessarily a goodie. In fact, the daddy kink was by far the most commonly mentioned turn off.

‘The whole daddy dom thing is disgusting to me,’ wrote @Sufficient-Berry-827.

Many others agreed.

‘Calling a guy daddy. Just eww…why? Why would I want to visualise my father while having sex? Like wtf,’ added @Asaddenpup.

@Oceanbreeze871, an actual dad, explained his reasoning too. ‘“Daddy” or “pappi”. I am a dad. I don’t want to be called that by a woman I’m in the middle of [having sex with].’

Others shared their feelings on being called daddy, with @BloodReyvyn admitting ‘nothing will make me flaccid faster’, while @Cichlidsaremyjam said: ‘Baby talk and calling me “daddy”. You can f**k right off with both of those.’

It’s safe to say that you should probably double check with your partner before screaming ‘daddy’ in bed.

There’s a time and a place

When it comes to the where, why and how of doing the deed, people certainly had opinions.

We’ve all seen that moment on TV when a couple is mid-argument, then they pause and before you can blink, they’re suddenly ripping each others’ clothes off, breaking some household items in the process.

But make up sex was deemed totally unsexy by Redditors. @Cat-Falco couldn’t find this concept any less attractive. They wrote: ‘There is absolutely nothing I want to do less than have someone I’m pissed at try to get freaky with me instead of communicating and solving the problem.’

Shower sex also had its critics. @socal01 said: ‘Shower sex is over rated, partly because my wife likes the water magma temperature.’

That together with the slipping hazards, lack of lubricant and confined space meant the shower wasn’t the best place for some X-rated fun.

The classic 69 was another act that people found hard to enjoy. @Phersephone_Kore questioning: ‘How am I supposed to concentrate on one thing or the other?’

For @sakumm3 their unsexy act was a ‘tongue in my ear’, a comment which got over 4,000 votes on Reddit with many seemingly in agreement.

‘I don’t mind my ear lobe,’ @sakumm3 added, ‘but I hate the sound of a tongue inside my ear.’

Dressed for the occasion

There’s an entire industry dedicated to selling lingerie, but it turns out, some people just aren’t that bothered.

”I don’t find lingerie sexy, either on me or on another woman. Now, normal clothes worn provocatively, you got me,’ wrote @CassandraAusten.

For @TwistedBlister, they agreed, writing: ‘Lingerie. A woman in a T-shirt and plain white cotton panties is much sexier to me.’

@starglitterx added: ‘There was an episode of Community where Donald Glover said he was more turned on by women in pajamas than lingerie. That hit hard.’

That comment in particular had a blinding 17,000 likes, so maybe save that £100 spend on sexy underwear if you aren’t doing it to make yourself feel sexy.

Men in suits and women in school girl outfits were also deemed turn offs, with people left relatively underwhelmed.

Degradation

Last on the list is degradation, confessions which largely came from women.

‘As a woman it has to be degradation for me,’ wrote @TheSun-IcarusFellFor. ‘Being called a whore or a slut or that I’m “meant to be f**ked” gets me drier than the f**king Sahara Desert.

‘I don’t get it, it makes me feel like they want to hurt me and I don’t like that.’

Degradation doesn’t just have to be verbal either. @Gail37 shared: ‘Being spit on, like ☹️☹️ I don’t want that.’

BDSM can also feel degrading or controlling for those who don’t find it a turn on.

‘I am by no means a prude,’ wrote @visual_philosopher73. ‘But I read four to five random pages of 50 Shades of Grey and had to put it down.

‘It just came across like nothing any person should ever tolerate in a real relationship, BDSM or not.’
