10 Worst Guy Excuses For Turning Down Sex

The lamest things we've heard men say when passing on sex.

These are the 10 worst reasons that I've actually* heard (possibly said, don't judge me) for turning down sex. And if you want to be especially off-put, imagine a guy saying this about receiving oral.

10) "I just got a haircut." Maybe his coiffure is elaborate and prone to mussing. Maybe he doesn't want to get itchy clippings in the bed.

9) "The Sox just won the series, baby, let's celebrate with the boys at Sully's." The '[insert team name] just [won/lost] the [insert big game], I want to [hang out with/call] my [friends/dad]' plan is respectable. Too bad that the guys that won the game are probably having sex just soon as they get out of those uniforms, if not before.

8) "I was planning to watch Beaches tonight, it's due back tomorrow." While I've never heard the Beaches part, if you're watching a movie rather than enjoying carnal whathaveyous, you might as well be watching Beaches. Like if you're white, you're Ben Affleck.

7) "I feel kinda gross, right now." Hey precious, we all have to deal with winter weight. You can keep your shirt on or turn the lights off if you have to.

6) "I'm starting to get a cold." There are certain drips that makes turning down sex chivalrous, your nose isn't one of them.

5) "I've got a basketball game in the morning." Yo, Raging Bull, Delilah over there isn't going to rob you of your strength.

4) "My horoscope advised me to not doing anything rash today." Knucklebones, tealeaves, crystal balls, Tarot cards, chicken blood and magic 8-balls aren't the most effective tools for decision-making. Try a pros and cons list, son.

3) "I would, but you'll never be able to enjoy sex with another guy again." Sweet line, Mystery, she'll be banging down your door faster than a hummingbird toots.

2) "I'm feeling a little exposed. Could we just sleep next to each other?" The cuddle monster is back and he's manstruating.

1) "Yeah, I kind of have a thing for someone." And "I have a copy of the swimsuit edition sitting on the tank of my toilet."

Some of these stupid things he may be honest mean and some of these things he thinks will make you want him more but there's just as good a chance that he just ain't into you. Or he has diarrhea.

*Note: There may be some embellishment, what do they say about the truth getting in the way of a good story?

Can you relate?

I agree Tom. I thought being tired would be acceptable. However, it is VERY rare I would use that excuse. LOL

WoW, I didn't know men actually turned down sex! I've honestly never heard any excuse from a man. However, some men, shall we say are addicted to porn. They call it a quick fix, just plain lazy to do the real thing if ya ask me.

OMG, I dated a guy that would always find an excuse to not come over for sex. He acctually told me that he would rather sit and play games on his computer. And even worse yet he has said he would rather sit at home and masturbate, then come over and have sex.

haha, omg my boyfriend used the "shower" excuse too! but whenever I get out of the shower he expects it, go figure. I feel sorry for the girl who got the "i just got a haircut" excuse, how the hell do you respond to that??

Excuses not to have sex eh? Hmmmm... I"m more prone to utter reasons why we should have sex AGAIN 2day for the 2nd, 3rd, or even 14th time - (true- but 14 was my younger days)!
Actually I find SEX is the best relief 4 a headache once U get started U forget the pain and the endorphines you release relieve the headache. So guys/gals 4get dis excuse and Just Do It!
Secondly, I find SEx s awewsome when really tired-- I don't exactly know Y?- but you feel relaxed and can go nice n slow 4 hours- Hey!- Isn't that what second wind is 4??
Personally, I found there are only 2 circumstance when I don't want sex cuz I just can't when-
1) I have an upset stomach-- just can't- not an excuse and
2) when the room is really hot in winter with artificial heat pumping in- hate the dry air I suppose- but nothing that cranking the window wide open wont cure- so that excuse is a temporary one-- actually the combo of the hot air and the cool breeze against moisture is awesome.
Just my tips to avoid using or hearing another excuse!!!!

True story, one of my friends was dating a guy and he told her.
He had a conversation with God and "God" told him he should not have sex for while.

Oh, Mystery. His quotes give you the icks when you read them, but when they come out of his mouth, somehow he's effectively charming. What is it about this guy??? Do other men hate him? Or what to be him?

I've heard the sports excuse before. Some coaches tell their players to abstain before big games. It totally sucks.
