Was Your “Maybe” Ignored in Bed?

Silence can be more dangerous than a “no”

Has it ever happened to you?

You’re in the middle of sex, wanting to stop, but the words just won’t come out? I’m not talking about an inconvenient cramp.

I’m talking about those moments when your body screams “no” but your mouth stays shut.

A friend of mine shared a story that gave me chills.

And I bet it’ll do the same to you.

“We were fucking,” she said, “and I told my guy I might need to finish another way. He ignored me. I froze. He kept going until he came.”

Fuck, right? It’s like her body suddenly wasn’t hers anymore.

Like she lost her voice at the most crucial moment.

Her husband apologized later.

Said he only realized she wasn’t into it when he was about to finish.

That he thought she was getting turned on again.
