Is His Mind-Blowing Sex Keeping Us Around?

Is He Really Right for You?

Even when we realize a guy is not right for us, his skills in the bedroom might keep us intrigued a lot longer than we anticipated.

Although the perfect scenario would be that he is also the man of our dreams—often times he is not. Great.

Let’s keep it real, ladies; great sex can be hard (really hard) to find, let alone walk away from.

Finding a guy who can give us the warm and fuzzies—down there—just by hearing his voice, how he touches and kisses us or even looks at us, is often rare and unique. Add in the fact that he is a master in the boudoir—it’s like winning the sex lottery. Cha-Ching!

Walking Away From Great Sexual Chemistry Can Be Hard to Do

Unfortunately, the guy who has this magical sexual touch is not always attached to the man that we envision (minus the mind-blowing sex) spending the rest of our lives with. Convincing ourselves not to get sidetracked on our journey to finding love (and what we genuinely want in a man) can be extremely hard when we come across mind-blowing dick.

Walking away from a guy who can rock our sexual world can be sexually painfully hard to do. Should we keep enjoying the amazing sex we are having even after we realize he is not “the one,” or do we leave?

Instead of ending things right away, we will often convince ourselves that the answer is in a coin toss—that of course we have to keep playing—until reality finally sets in.

Letting go of incredible sex can be difficult to do.

Once we feel such intense sexual chemistry, the need to continue feeling this (aka him) can be addicting to the point that we forget all logic and forgo our non-negotiables.

Confusing Incredible Sex With Love

Incredible sex that turns us on just by thinking about a guy can make us believe the feelings we are experiencing is actually love.

But is it love when:

  • we argue all the time—but have lots and lots of make-up sex.

  • he is annoying and gets on our nerves—except when he’s naked and on top of us.

  • we have nothing in common with him—except great sex.

  • he rarely contributes a genuine effort towards the relationship—except when we are having sex.

  • he has zero to little confidence—but he is unusually confident in the bedroom.


Sex has a funny way of convincing us that all the warm and fuzzy feelings we are experiencing are love. Don’t get it twisted, though; those feelings are usually lust. The evil thing about lust is that it will cause us to stay in a relationship that is not entirely healthy for us. Yikes!

My Relationship With a Great Lover Who Was Not a Great Partner

I dated a guy who was fantastic in the bedroom but subpar in a committed relationship.

I met him when I was working. He was confident and persistent in his approach, which was not only contagious but immensely attractive.

Adding Love to the Equation

Mind-blowing sex can be extremely hard to let go of when genuine love is added to the equation.

Loving a guy who is great in bed but doesn't have enough commonalities to sustain the relationship can be sexually frustrating to walk away from.

I was in a relationship with a guy for almost a year. Several months into the relationship, I realized he was not my forever. But his skills in the bedroom kept me hooked to the point that I convinced myself that what he lacked in our relationship (and what I was looking for in a man) could be overlooked since he was incredible in bed. I was wrong.

The longer we dated, the more he became comfortable, revealing his true self. He lacked a backbone when it came to important things in his life, and setting boundaries for himself became a difficult task. These qualities about him were unattractive. Also, his lack of ambition and confidence—except in the bedroom—made it harder and harder for me to justify continuing a relationship with him.

Every time he would annoy or frustrate me, I would remind myself how extremely confident he was when we were naked, and he always rocked my sexual world. It was like he was Clark Kent and Superman—he was not someone I imagined being so amazing in bed since his normal life was so in shambles. This was surprising but extremely hot.

“The longer we stay sexing the wrong guy, the more difficult finding the right one becomes. Although, we might get over a man by getting under a new one, we can’t find love by being under the wrong one.”

What Are We Willing to Give a Pass on for Great Sex?

Here's the thing—if we are keeping it real—finding a great lover sometimes means we will give him a pass (or several) for his subpar role in our life because we are penis-whipped.

When we are penis-whipped, a guy can be talking gibberish for all we care. He might even frustrate us with the idiotic things he says and does. He might lack common sense, make us want to pull our hair out, or scream at the top of our lungs at how ridiculous his actions are.

He might even perform a disappearing act (or several) in our life, but the second he calls, kisses us, touches us and sexes us up, we forget about all his bullcrap. Wonderful.

Ladies, there is no shame if you are at a crossroads with needing to let a guy go because he's not your perfect match, even though his penis is. I get it.

However, great sex is never sustainable when there are too many issues that surface. The longer we stay sexing with the wrong guy, the more difficult finding the right one becomes. Although we might get over a man by getting under a new one, we can't find love by being under the wrong one.
