How do you tell if a person is good in bed?

No,I don't have pre-coital ways to know it.But,hey,I'm young,maybe in some years I will spot a good lover at miles of distance

Fudge them. Oh, pre-coital, never mind.

God, I know a lot of them.

1- If his belt is looser than it has to be, you're in for a good screw.
2- Bad dancers are actually better.
3- Nail biters, although a cliché, are out of this world...
4- If he's not a fidgeter, it'll be good.
5- Lousy dressers usually equal good too.
6- Red hair is bad bad bad.
7- Some people say small guys are better, others tall;
actually the winner is medium...5'8 to 5'11 rocks.
8- If he wears glasses or needs his vision corrected...very good.
9- If you never see him check the mirror...lucky you.
10- If he sits more than he stands...good.

These are mostly acquired through experience, some just kibitzing with my gal amigs.

Nail biting? Sexual prowess? You're making that up!

I don't think you can. I mean, not beforehand anyway.

You just feel it....lol

The only way to tell is to get into bed with them. I don't think any of those predictors work.

Not that I've tested any of them, of course!

Okay... so as if we just ponder this whenever we meet a person?
Honestly though..... I guess if someone tells me they are a Pisces I feel they are creative in bed, a Leo is selfish in bed, a Scorpio is fudgeably nice, a Taurus is sensual, Libra?? I don't know... Virgo is probably ... no comment, Aries... no comment, Cancer, I wouldn't know, Capricorn is probably going to have good chemistry with me in bed... don't know... It's like saying all black people are in a gang or something... it's just stereotyping, and we all know how stupid that is.

I Fudge them

well they say that brass players make great kissers and my experience has shown that to be true. But I haven't found anything that coordinates with sexual prowess in general.

Well, a lot of those certainly applied to my ex-husband: bad dancer, nail biter, bad dresser, glasses, and he sat down whenever he could. He was good in bed, although not good enough to make me straight. LOL

*nods in agreement*
He was good....

By sleeping with them

I agree on number 8!

We should supply each straight woman with check list...

"If he wears glasses or needs his vision corrected...very good"?

I usually tell if a person is good in bed by actually sleeping with them....fortunately for my reputation I dont wonder about it too much.

There's really only one way to know for sure.

People have different personality types:
Tender warmth
Athletic challenge and intrigue
Mystical awareness
Bizarre activity
A dark side undertone
Creativity or the lack of it
Friviolity or sincerety
Nurturing good communication or selfish hedonism
Passionate, cold.
Good in bed is extremely subjective. One person's delight is another's poison. I'm in the market for mystical nurturing tender bonding with a romantic theatrical layer myself. The last thing on my agenda is the sport-sex perspective.
People have repressed stuff that shows up in bed, but I can't imagine sleeping with someone I couldn't read well enough to know what to expect.

This survey is about as useful as "How do you tell if a person has a good personality?" When there's not even agreement on whether a good personality is mellow, ambitious, predictable, erratic, or what.

I wouldn't know.....

Nothing pre-coital. It has to be proven.

whisper

Yes, that was number 8, wasn't it?!

"If HE"....?

I can't underline that enough. But I recall you posting some pics of chicks you were raving about, so that struck me as rather odd...

Have sex with them.

Do you know anything about dream interpretation? If you do, could I bother you to check out the dream I had in the "Share recent dream" survey? It was really odd, and vivid, and it just had to be filled with symbolism.
If you don't know about that stuff, then this comment will self-destruct in five minutes.

I think the point you're missing is that Maarten wears glasses.... (at least I think so, if I'm remembering the pictures correctly).... thus, presumably, he's good in bed.

Hey! No bragging allowed!

I think Maarten is referring to the fact that HE wears glasses, and therefore, he must be good in bed.

Oops! I see topper beat me to this observation.

So... Rule 8 applies strictly to men? Why can't you underline that enough?

I wish people would just keep old surveys alive so I'm automatically kept abreast of these things.
Sure.
I like your choice of reply target.

Also possibly he was bringing into question a woman's (specifically your) judgement on that one (as I did), and had absolutely no self-involvement at all.

What I meant of course was that I wear glasses....

Her hips, the way she walks and the look in her eyes when she is smiling.

Geez, I'm an idiot. *conks herself on the head*

Of course you're good in bed.

But you didn't all have to be so darn mean about it.

ask for references

Do you have anymore? I wouldn't normally ask, but at least 8 of them apply to me .

(About #1. What if he isn't wearing a belt?)

Oh, yeah, I have many more...

Jean-wearers are almost always good.

Khaki-wearers are usually terrible.

Goatees = sucks.

Bald on purpose = sucks

Any other kind of underwear that's not boxers or briefs = sucks

If he'd rather eat dessert than any other meal = sucks

If he isn't humble = sucks

Hazel eyed guys are the worst in bed. Followed by green-eyed, blue-eyed and then brown-eyed.

Very full lips are bad bad bad.

If his bed is narrow bad bad bad.

If he's a cat person bad bad bad.

Many more, but I'm creeping even myself out...

I'm not mean. I'm the sweetest guy on this planet. Just ask my girlfriend!

Oh but you are.

But sounds mean!

Oops.. I must suck then, cause I have a goatee.

*gets out razor*

Sorry Pheebs, didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Goes out with confetti - sucks sucks sucks. (kidding) Oh no, I've been corrupted by the anonymous survey. Forgive me.

Watch it. Intentionally bald doesn't cut it either.

That probably happens more often than you'd think!

Ahhh.. but was that an intentionally bald head, or an intentionally bald chin?

There are other options.

By all means. Hardly any women like facial hair, anyhow.
But I get the feeling you aren't taking this too seriously (thankfully)...

Cool

I knew I'd hit a sore point in someone sooner or later...

sucks sucks sucks - You should be so lucky. and then, the other intended interpretation, if folk with all these attributes suck, maybe that's not why.
I like beards and moustaches, as long as they don't brush against me.

Well, good for you.

Actually, I have been meaning to shave it off for a while now, but my SO won't let me because she says I look better with it.

The only way to tell is if you know first hand if they're good in bed.

Haven't a clue.

Okay, even though I think this is kind of bullcrap, I did a thorough analysis based on my personal experience to see if there were any common factors, and I did come up with a few:

Good in bed:
-ambitious
-formal in dress
-a little overweight

Lousy in bed:
-fairly serious mental health issues
-tendency towards alcoholism
-casual dress
-very thin, possible eating disorders

Actually I've found that most of the crazy women I've slept with have been quite spectacular in bed. Crazy men on the other hand are trouble.

Crazy like "wacky" or crazy like "rubber room straight jacket"? I'm talking about clinically fudgeed up, not just a little eccentric. I don't really believe there is any truth to this anyway. I just thought it might be an entertaining exercise.

I mean clinically crazy, though there are other ways of treating that than putting people in straightjackets.

Sleep with them.....

If after you've blown your load you feel like sticking around.

Ew! Sticking....

Good kissers tend to be good in bed. Methinks.

Good hugs and kisses are vital.

WOOOW ... Looks like their are a lot of virgins trying to answer something they know nothing about. Screw all this jargan about "ways to tell this and that ..." Pfft! There's only ONE way to tell ... You have to get fudgeed. Point blank. Doesn't matter if he wears glasses or what time he wakes up in the morning ... Call me what you will, but I've been around the block QUITE a few times and STILL haven't found a guy that knows what the hell he's doing!! (Of course, they all swear up and down they do, but I attribute that to women and their fake orgasming. Stop screaming FOR him and start screaming AT him, so the next girl doesn't suffer your mistakes!!!)
