CibbuanoAre unattractive people better in bed?
September 15th 2006 00:23
I can’t lay claim to the theory, however, the more I think about it, the more I have to agree… ugly people are great screws. Now I know it’s rather superficial to be labeling people ugly. I can already hear the complaints and ‘there’s more to a person than just their looks’ type rhetoric. Now before you decide to start ranting, put away the soapbox and take it all with a grain of salt. As my mother once said, “we’re all beautiful in our own special way.” So don’t take offense, just wallow in the inner beauty and know that whilst you may not be visually appealing, with the lights off you’re a damn good shag. I can’t exactly say that I’ve been bless with a healthy dose from the attractive gene pool. So I’ll happily bear the insult as much as anyone else.
So what is it that makes the visually repulsive so incredibly talented in the sack? With not much better to do at work today I decide the water cooler conversation was going to centre around this perplexing conundrum.
My theory is that you don’t have the same level of expectation with an ugly person as you do with an incredible attractive person. It is more a matter of relativity rather than sexual prowess. You just expect that all those goddess’ and adonis’ out there are brilliant lovers. So before the clothes even hit the floor, the yardstick is already set pretty high. For lack of a better target I blame the media. Movies, commercials, radio, television, billboards and magazines will continually fall on the sex sells mantra to increase popularity. Lets face it, we all like a good bump and grind and more often than not, the subjects in the advertising and media sex campaigns are beautiful people. We’re conditioned to believe that beautiful people have the confidence and the natural instinct to razzle dazzle between the sheets. Anything less than extraordinary and we regular (ugly) folk will feel like we’ve been short changed.
Jason’s view was that ugly people try harder. If they don’t cut it in the looks department they have to make up for in other areas. I suppose Jason’s idea is not the most far fetched thought. Although, it is suggesting that all ugly people have a complex and feel the need to make up for their aesthetic inadequacies. I doubt the majority of ugly people have an inferiority complex.
Todd seemed to think that there was some sort of natural law that governed such matters. There is no such thing as the perfect individual, there is some level of fairness in nature. Some people get the great lay genes whilst other get the great looks genes. Very rarely will someone get both.
So apparently whilst women may swoon over the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp and men will go gaa-gaa over Jessica Alba, Tara Reid and Angelina Jolie rest assured that the common people have one up on them. We’re a FAR better shag.

Often we'd come to the conclusion that the Beautiful People had become so vain and lazy (due to never having to TRY and pick up) that in the bedroom they'd expect everything to almost be done for them, the whole cold fish routine.
Whereas people who perhaps had fallen out of the ugly tree and maybe hit a few branches on the way down were inclined to think that the bedroom was a place where they could prove that looks mattered sweet fuck all in terms of sexual prowess.
I reckon its much of a muchness. There are no doubt some appallingly good-looking people who also happen to be exceptional lovers, and there are some dog-ugly losers who have couldn't tell your ass from your elbow under the sheets.
Beauty is only skin deep.
Making love comes from the soul.

people with a firmer grip may do better in the sack due to their confidence level. if someone gives you that wet fish handshake...well im thinking thats all you would ever get from them.
I hvaent tested this theory though.

And before you ask, of course I offered to prove it to them...yeah, no. But they were friends, they knew I was joking. Shit I hope they did.
I just think that ugly people, and I believe I speak from personal experience here, dont get as much attention from the opposite sex. So when they do, they just try harder to impress because it might mean a repeat performance, or that it might make up for other perceived deficiencies in what they have to offer.
For a somewhat shoddy example, I know more than a couple of gorgeous women who refuse to give head (no, not just to me). Every one of my ugly friends (both male & female) agree that good oral sex is one of the best ways to impress in bed.

Hah, this is a knife that cuts both ways. I can see scores of women bursting out into tears the next time their man rolls over and says, "that was great."
Here's a hypotetical. If you could either be butt ugly but a great screw or totally smoking but as exciting as a wet fish, which would you choose?

And yes, I would like to see what its like to be DDG for one day, even if it means being hung like a rogue bullant.
It reminds me of the great Churchill quote about being fat versus being ugly. Then again, a dud root can be trained, after all, I'm sure no-one is born a great root. I could be wrong about that.
And by the way, at the Speed Dating night I mentioned earlier (Im Bert Maverick) the most boring people were also the best lookers. In hindsight that could have been because they were simply not interested in me because Im on the less attractive side.

If you're good looking suitably you should be a good shag too. But, in terms of experience where some have not been posited the question beyond a few drunken remarks because they are too unattainable may be reasons for the opposite. Also, as stated previously, they feel their looks are enough to be a turn on and subsequent good shag.
Does this mean the opposing ugly types are good shags? I think they'd be more inclined to satisfy themselves and others due to the practical side of sex not just the visual element. However, if they are hung up on their body about being ugly then what Cinico deems should be true, i.e. unresponsive and awkward.
There seems to be so many cultural and experience conditions in this argument I can only measure that if there's a "lubricating" amount of alcohol involved there should be a good lay regardless of appearance! lol

It'd make for great cable television! I mean reality TV is more or less heading in that direction; the ante has to be upped, and it can only go in two directions; sex and violence.
So, what we get is RealSexTV, where a panel made up of a sexologist, a porn star veteran, a middle-aged swinging couple, a relationship counsellor, an adult pulp novelist, and some trashy ageing celebrity Lothario, say Val Kilmer. They watch hidden camera footage of all kinds of strangers having sex, and they comment on, judge and rate their performances with attention to enthusiasm, imagination, sensualism, communication, invention, eroticism, perversion, duration, and partner satisfaction.
At the end of each show, viewers can sms in their own votes on whom they think were the best and worst lovers, and the results are then shown and commented upon by the panel.
Each show ends with a graph showing how the so-called beautiful people faired against the so-called unattractive people.
... I have no idea where this absurd concept just came from!

Seriously, though... I think looks ARE an important factor. The more turned on you are, the better the sex would be, don't you think? if you find the person repulsive, then you wouldnt want to even tempt yourself.
I'm agreeing with Bryn's first comment. Uglies and hotties cant be typecast into being ALL skilled into particular traits. one person may be considered hot by one person, and may be considered ugly by the other. dont forget, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In the end, I think sex feels the greatest when you are both attracted to each other.

A completely sex related reality surival style show. I could definately see that taking off. Instead of a tribal torch every contestant could have an inflated dildo that when flacid to indicate that they'd been voted off.
The ultimate test would be to match people up in pitch darkness, get their post coital opinions before they've had a chance to see eachother in broad daylight.

We get instruction books and training on how to work any other complex machanism. But for this one we have to do all the learning ourselves through trial and error!

Let me explain: a large factor of the sexual experience comes from our physical attraction for the person when it comes down to it. So an attractive person would create plenty of hotness and the unattractive one would create all sorts of yuck factor so the experience would be yuckifying (in large dose of yuckness)
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
