Really bad sex stories

 

Check out the print version of Philly EDGE for "bad sex" stories from readers of Philly EDGE Sexologist Jamye Waxman.

Below, bonus stories of the worst lays some people have had. -ED

Doug referred to his bad sex more as bad “omen” sex.
“About two months before my relationship ended, I was right in the middle of going at her doggie-style; I lost my erection. I realized I just didn’t want to be there anymore, so I weakly faked an orgasm and went to sleep.”
 
Rebecca told me about Jeremy Blow-n-Go, a young guy she picked up at a bar and made out with in his car. When she took him home and they got naked, she gave him a really long blow job and as soon as he came, he went.
She actually went out with him again after he left her high and dry, but since he was living at his parent’s house, he freaked out about any noise.
“When he requested that I sneak out the window, I got dressed, opened his bedroom door… and marched out of the house. As I was slamming the door behind me, I heard an old lady’s voice, ‘Jeremy, is that you?’”

Lisa, was traveling in Bolivia when she slept with this amazing Spanish guy.
“He was seemingly great in bed--tons of foreplay, he was good at giving head, very passionate, etc. so I was quite surprised when he sucked at the fucking part. He had a really small penis and came pretty much immediately after we started having sex. I was utterly disappointed and shocked…How could the hottest guy I had ever slept with SUCK AT THE FUCKING PART OF FUCKING?
Alas, I slept with him again two times and the same story.”

 

This guy lost a finger

 

   Colin Coyle knows all about the high cost of medical insurance.
   His pinkie-less right hand and his fractured credit history are constant reminders of the steep medical costs that can mount if a serious accident occurs when an individual is not covered under a health insurance plan.
   Coyle lost the finger in a traffic accident on March 24, 2001 on Trenton Road in Fairless Hills, just after the Yardley resident had started a new job in New York City. What follows is his first-person story. - ED

My accident was March 24, 2001.  I was 20 years old at the time; living in Yardley and working in New York City.   I had gotten laid off January 1 of 2001 and was unemployed until landing the job in NYC, which started at the end of February. I had been at my new job just shy of 30 days.

Tip your bartender, but don't hurt them

 
Unhealthy situation
Servers, stylists, bartenders and others often work without the security of medical insurance

Paul Smith believed he could live through the pain.  
Though the normally fit 41-year-old Philadelphian was throwing up daily and could hardly stand, he continued to go to work every day because he needed the money. 

Danko Jones

 Rock

Described by Revolver as “swaggering rock n’ roll that has no time for sensitivity-training courses or painfully earnest emotions” and by Kings of A&R as “one of those bands that would make Angus Young (AC/DC) and W. Axl Rose smile” Danko Jones have constructed a brand of muscular yet melodic rock n’ roll that have critics from Vice to SPIN singing their praises. NME even raved that Danko Jones “might just be the best band in the world.” The band is touring in support of their upcoming album "Sleep is the Enemy."
