Sex: Don't Leave It to the Experts

Ten average Joes and Janes answer your most intimate questions.

The Graphic Designer

Katkana Boonyarungsrit, 25

How long should foreplay last to get a girl aroused?

Five minutes should be enough.

The biggest no-no when making love?

Do not take any phone calls during sex. Make sure you lock the room. No need to dim the lights, though. You need to see what you’re doing. Oh and beware of your teeth when you are kissing.

My partner is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

She’s good? Enjoy! Don’t even bother thinking about it. OK, you might feel a little bit inferior but don’t take it that seriously. If she’s really good, you might actually learn something.

I’m not gay but effeminate men turn me on. What’s my deal?

You sound sexually confused.

My partner is very loud when we have sex. Can I shut her up?

Some loud noise can be a turn off. If you are not that aggressive, while she digs super loud action, tell her to keep it quiet.

My partner is very bad at oral sex. How do I bring it up?

Just be straightforward. It’s OK to teach your partner.

My partner wants a threesome? Should I pick from friends or strangers?

Go for a friend or someone you already know. If things turn ugly, you can get your revenge.

I want to use sex toys but my partner feels offended by them.

Tell your partner, “You can’t judge what you don’t know.”

My boyfriend doesn’t want me to be on top.

Tell him that you have a cramp and need to change positions.

The Musician

Momokomotion, 28

I’m not in the mood lately, but my partner is always keen. Should I just do it or say no?

I think you should say no and just do it when you want to do it. Say it, but say it nicely.

My girlfriend is very loud when we have sex. How do I shut her up?

Just tell her. Don’t think your girl will feel offended. Maybe you can tell her you’re excited even without the soundtrack or something like, “I love you the way you are. Be natural.”

My partner is very bad at oral sex. Should I teach him?

It’s OK to teach your boyfriend. You have to be encouraging like “Wow, you’re great! Do that again! I love this!” Don’t say “I don’t like it,” or “You suck.” But when he does something good, you can say it makes you happy.

I want to use sex toys during sex, but they offend my partner.

I don’t know, but I think that, in a couple, both persons need to like the same things. If it’s a really ­stupid sex toy, OK maybe that doesn’t work. So try something ­softcore like nice lingerie. I think it’s the same way as giving a present. Just see it as a gift.

I’m not gay, but effeminate men kind of turn me on. What’s my deal?

Don’t worry about it. If you are gay, you’ll become gay. You cannot control this kind of thing, anyway.

Sex and work. What is the difference?

Work and sex are not one-way things. They involve communication. Both require teamwork.

The Tour Guide

Chavarat Pimolsri, 23

My boyfriend always comes first.

Tell your man, “Ladies first!” No matter how he is going to do it or how many positions he can think of, the lady always comes first.

My partner is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

Yes, you are. Many women are concerned about that. I’ve heard many girls say that when they have someone who doesn’t really know what to do, it’s like making love to a buffalo. But when you have a guy who knows what to do, it’s like you are flying with angels. It’s heaven.

I feel very horny in public spaces. What should I do?

Try to walk on Ratchada, you will find places to unload.

I’m not gay, but butch girls kind of turn me on. What’s my deal?

I would say, “Fingers are nothing compared to what you really want to get.”

My girlfriend wants to do a threesome with two guys. Should I pick from friends or strangers?

If you have a male friend that seems up for it, I would say friend.

Blow jobs while driving—any tips?

Don’t drive by a bus.

My girlfriend doesn’t like to be on the top, she just lets me do the work. How can I get her on the top?

That might mean she’s a shy girl. You need to boost her confidence. Tell her she looks hot when she is on top.

Sex and work. What’s the difference?

Being a tour guide, you work on your own. That’s one difference.

The Pub Owner

Chayut Sivaboonyawong, 24

What is the best sex position for both sexes?

Woman on top.

My partner is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

Possibly. Mind you that men never give 100% every time and night. There are times when we might screw up. However, if you want to have a relationship with this girl, just talk it over.

My partner is very loud when we have sex.

Close her mouth if you don’t want to hear it. 

My partner is very bad at oral sex. Should I teach him/her?

Whether you are man or woman, you have to tell your partner what you like, not just let him or her do the work. There is nothing wrong if you want to tell your partner about your sexual likes and dislikes.

I want to use sex toys during sex, but my partner feels offended by them.

If she doesn’t like it, that’s it, end of story.

My boyfriend doesn’t want me to be on top. Is he a complete control freak?

I believe men love women to be on top. Turn and change positions regularly. However, a man who always wants to be on top and do his thing may just not be that turned on and might want to get it over with. There are some guys who just jump on it and others who want to give their partner pleasure. If a girl meets the first kind, she should seek a new boyfriend.

The Tutor

Rachata Kittigosin, 26

The biggest no-no when making love?

Don’t ever mention your ex—or let the name slip from your lips while doing it.

I feel very horny in public places.

In one research, it was said that men think about sex every five seconds. So, you are not weird, you’re just a man. And if you have a chance, find a private corner to relieve yourself. 

I’m not gay, but effeminate guys turn me. What’s my deal?

Why don’t you try to ask your girlfriend to shave her head? If that turns you on, you might just like short hair girls. Now if what really turns you on is sissy men, then you are gay.

Any tips on how to get laid with a tutor?

Be a good student, tutors always remember the good students first.

Blow jobs while driving—any tips?

Don’t drive and blow! But if you really must, go up on the expressway where there are no red lights.

My boyfriend doesn’t want me to be on top. Is he a complete ­control freak?

He’s not a control freak but just a selfish person. On top is the best ­position for anyone and this means he doesn’t care about you. Change positions regularly, regardless of his objections.

Sex and work. What’s the difference?

My job isn't adventurous. But one thing the two have in common is that I love both! I’m happy with them and I can’t live without them.

The Hotel Housekeeper

Wannaporn Mungmee, 45

What is the best sex position for both sexes?

Nothing fancy, stick to the basics. That should ­satisfy both parties.

The biggest no-no when making love?

Do nothing else but make love when making love. That’s the rule.

I feel very horny in public places. What to do?

Seek help.

I’m not gay, but effeminate men kind of turn me on. What’s my deal?

Sorry, you’re gay, son. Real men don’t have feelings for other men.

My girlfriend is very loud when we have sex. How do I shut her up?

Close her mouth.

My friends ask about my sex life with my girlfriend. Should I talk?

Just laugh and say nothing.

My partner wants to do a threesome? Should I pick from friends or strangers?

Why do you need a third person? Two is plenty!

I want to use sex toys during sex but they offend my partner.

I don’t know what a “sex toy” is, sorry.

Sex and work. What is the difference?

I get paid for my job, but I do sex for free­—that’s the difference.

The Account Executive

Natthawinee Thannin, 23

What is the best position for both sexes?

A variation of doggy style.

How to recognize that she is ready to do it?

If she’s wet, that’s a pretty universally accepted sign.

My boyfriend is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

Men never worry about these things. I don’t think men worry about your performance unless sex is really bad. And women are always happy to find a man who is very good at sex.

I’m not in the mood but my partner is. Should I just say no?

Try softcore sex like handjobs or blowjobs.

I feel very horny in public places. What to do?

Finish yourself off before leaving home.

My boyfriend is very loud when we have sex. How do I shut him up?

This sounds scary. Get over it or just end the relationship if you really can’t bear the noise.

My boyfriend wants to do a threesome. Should we pick from friends or strangers?

Do you want to lose your boyfriend to a friend or to a stranger? You decide.

My boyfriend doesn’t want me to be on the top. Is he a control freak?

That’s OK. Leave the hard job to the man. But if you really want to be on top, dare him to try and promise that he’ll like it. Usually, men love women on top.

Sex and work. What’s the difference?

One thing is the same—you need to find somebody to do it with or you won’t get any.

The Singer/DJ

Tul Apartment Khun Pa, 30-something

My partner is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

Just think of it as a blessing when you meet someone really good in bed.

I’m not in the mood lately, but my boyfriend seems to always be so keen. What should I do?

Be generous. Let him do it with others if you are too tired to do it. Point him to those happy-ending massages.

I feel very horny in public places. What to do?

Think of working at home or consider a change in career so your job, on the contrary, involves a lot of public places.

My girlfriend is very loud when we have sex. How do I shut her up?

You make louder noises to cover her voice. She should feel that there is something wrong and lower her voice.

My girlfriend is very bad at oral sex. Should I teach her?

Show her porn; she’ll learn from it. No need to talk, just show her what the real pros do.

How do I get laid with a star?

Don’t make him feel like you are hitting on him. Try to be yourself, just drop by his table from time to time, not like some obsessive freak or scary stalker.

I want to do a threesome? Should I pick from friends or strangers?

Forget about it. Go to those places that have ladies who “know what to do” and fulfill your fantasy. Or just pick up a couple strangers, so you don’t have to meet this girl again.

The Event Organizer

Davis Booranathanakhom, 28

What is the best sex position for both sexes?

Go for the basic missionary position if you are still asking yourself this kind of question.

My partner is really good in bed. Am I going to seem clumsy?

It’s not about being good or bad. It’s about being happy or not. Don’t think too much.

I feel very horny in public places. What to do?

Are you OK? Seek help from a doctor or just go into monkhood to calm your inner desires.

My girlfriend is very loud when we have sex. How can I shut her up?

If you don’t like it, tell her. If you really can’t bear it, change girls. 

How to get laid with an event organizer?

We’re pretty normal people. Whatever works with the rest of the planet.

My girlfriend doesn’t like to be on the top; she just lets me do the work. How I can get her on top?

She might be a bit stiff but if you ask her to change positions nicely, she’ll understand.

Sex and work. What is the difference?

None. Everything needs to be organized according to the customer’s desires and we’re happy to do so. Do your best so you won’t get ­complaints later.

The Coffee Shop Owner

Pattama Kaviya, 34

My boyfriend always comes first.

Start everything over again and tell him you want to go first this time.

What is the best position for both sexes?

69. Both can have fun. Doggy-style can cause knee pain for guys.

The biggest no-no when making love?

Answering the telephone is very rude. Laughing is OK if you both are. Otherwise, you will ruin your partner's confidence. 

I’m not in the mood lately, but my partner is always up for it. What to do?

You might need to talk with your partner. If you just let him do it, despite your feelings, you won’t enjoy it. Or try to find some excitement in your sexual activity through ­massage, playing with ice, that kind of stuff.

My partner is very loud when we have sex.

Kiss him. Use your mouth to shut him up.

My boyfriend is very bad at oral sex; do you think I should teach him?

You can’t really tell that to guys. Men take things personally when it comes to sexual performance. Do it physically—just push his head to where you want him.

Sex and work. What’s the difference?

It’s quite similar. It’s about taking care of each other’s needs, keeping a high service mind and making sure that the other leaves satisfied.
