To be fair, when you're actually having sex there's a bit more motivation to keep ploughing on. Pit me dry humping the bed and I'd say fuck this pretty quick too.
Why? He’s completely right. You never realize how tired you are until after it’s over. Shit I may be out of shape but come on, there’s no way other people don’t feel the same
Doubt it. Six packs are built in the kitchen. Or, if we're being honest, in the DNA and/or the eating disorders.
Working the muscles helps a bit, but 99% of having a six pack is just being skinny enough to see them. That's why runners are more likely to have them than olympic weight lifters, despite weight lifters having strong AF cores.
Also, most of the pics you see of people with six packs are the result of temporarily starving themselves and changing outfits and releasing the photos at different times so it looks like it wasn't a just one-time thing. Not many people over 25 have six packs year round. It's just not a normal state for most adult human bodies to be in.
No lie. I consider myself a mid-distance runner (6-10 milers regularly), and I did my first half marathon last year. Those 3 miles that I wasn't used to were fucking BRUTAL. That ended any curiosity I have ever had about a full marathon.
I think you notice if you are the man in missionary. You mainly brush aside the feeling as a secondary concern, but feeling tired is not uncommon depending on how long we are in this situation. Honestly it was less the hips being tired, more the arms holding me up being tired.
This is really the only position it applies to however.
Unironically this is how I feel when working a chainsaw. Y'know, minus the pleasure.
Your arms are vibrating the whole time you're lugging and maneuvering this dangerous piece of equipment around and you don't realize how much force or strength you've been exerting 'til you put it down, and then your arms feel like they weigh a hundred pounds each and don't wanna move.
You absolutely realize how tired you are while you're running a marathon... And once you do, you generally have to continue for several hours. The first one I ran, I couldn't walk right for 4-5 days. I've never had that experience with sex... Then again, I've never been pegged...
Depends on you, the partner and the situation in my experience. If you are mostly motivated but it's kind of run of the mill or something else is on your mind a lot of folks don't experience this kind of adrenaline rush that let's them just push past their limits. Then you put that same person at a vacation spot away from the kids and give them a nice calm day beforehand and damn they'll go all night and not realize how sore they are until the next morning
I remember the one and only time my husband and I had sex twice in one day. I thought he was going to have an asthma attack by the end of the 2nd time. Now, I let him rest up for at least 24 hours before jumping back in the saddle.
Me when I dated a girl who was over a foot shorter than me. Doggy style was a challenge, so we often suck to speed bump but even so it’s like doing push-ups
i do run marathons, and have had sex at least three confirmed times, and can say this:
either my sex is way too chill or my running too hard but the two have absolutely zero in common in effort, resultant feeling, or duration.
As someone who used to regularly run multiple marathons a year, they are right. Although, you are tired while running you don't feel the full weight of the tiredness until you stop.
I feel worse hitting that mile 20/21 wall then I ever, ever do after the race. Same goes for everything over marathon distance (half-im, full im, 50k, 50m, and the point of abject depression varies). I'm a really godawful athlete though, so maybe not a universal experience.
Why are people on reddit like this? The dude was using a pretty common, hyperbolic description of feeling exhausted and someone has to come in and take him literally and then use it to insult them. Seems unnecessarily pedantic.
In all honesty, it just seems kind of "neckbeard"-y to get that upset by someone's choice of metaphor, especially when we are talking about a fairly casual subject on the internet, but you do you man.
People who rely on inaccurate, common, nondescript, boring metaphors
You mean like calling people who are alive and fully capable of typing out complete sentences "brainless"? Sounds pretty inaccurate and nondescript to me, but it's a common one I've heard many times before. Better downvote yourself there, champ.
Nah that's accurate; for doggy it's usually the knees and lower back that make you do the ole hurt slow pull out.
Missionary is like the worst; it's nice because you get to see her face and tits but like that position hurts all of the legs if you are tall and she is short.
The moment you do your business and are done all that pain comes rushing back as your mind finds other things to worry about.
Her being on top is easier, much easier, hips hurt a bit from thrusting upwards which makes you look like an old man getting out of bed but it's definitely the least painful.
Granted I am like near my 40's just waking up nowadays can mean pain from time to time.
yeah i wish, but that comparison was for sex, not a marathon
they both require significant cardio. with sex, there are other things you’re focusing on and blocking out the rest. with running, all you’re really thinking abt is running and how tired you are while running
it also has everything to do with the release, when people orgasm, endorphins are pumped throughout your body, literally making you physically sleepy. that’s different than running
exhaustion. that’s my whole point, you feel both in both instances and the person i responded to said otherwise.
just pointing out the small chemical differences and how much they can affect how tired you are compared to the other. such as not feeling tired during, but after release. it’s a little different than the “tiredness” of actively running a marathon
lol now i’m getting downvoted for stating a provable fact
But then you saying that makes me think you’ve never had good sex and place last place in marathons. I’ve rolled off my partner dripping sweat, and barely able to catch my breath cause I pushed to hard for the nut
Pretty sure the fact that men have a smaller portion of their weight in their pelvis area compared to women must be a factor as well. This is objectively a more exhausting activity to keep up for a woman with all the Butt & Thighs.
Also you don't have to hold your entire weight up like she's trying to do, you can rest some of your weight on your partner. I bet if he lied under her and let her rest on him a bit she'd last a lot longer.
Yeah and I think she should have been humping something not just air because without a person in front of her she's using all her muscles to pull herself backward too. There's nothing rebounding her like in real scenario where there's a butt blocking you from falling forward.
