I give Bs for effort. As are handed out once you've shown that you can apply criticisms to better your work.

I've never been good at talking about sex during sex, or being vociferous at all. I blame it on first having sex as a teenager in my parents' home; The girlfriend is over, you're trying not to make noise or get caught, so you get really good at being quiet. Then, You have a few years during college, when you're trying not to alert your roommate (or the rest of your dorm), and then you
might have a few years of single-hood before getting married. But by this time, you're stuck in a pattern. Even if you can break it, and start talking or being louder, it is short lived because, if you're like me, you had kids right away, and now you have quiet as a church mouse sex so you don't wake the baby, or the in-laws who seem to always be visiting!
We went to a hotel once, just so that we could be loud during sex and be proud of it, and all was going well with moaning/groaning until I felt it was my turn to say something boldly, and all I could come up with was "oh yeah, Fuck my pussy, baby!" Being a man, as soon as it was past my lips, my wife froze, cocked her head to the side, and gave me a questioning stare...the mood was dead. Of course, we started laughing at my awkwardness and ended up having laughter sex, which was loud (in its own way) and perfectly satisfying.
There was a movie called "friends with benefits" where two single and confident adults talk during sex about what they like, and the Hollywood version made it sound perfectly natural and accepted; I tried that once too, but it made my wife doubt herself and also killed the moment.
This has been a challenge for me--anyone else had trouble? Any advice?
