The Definition Of "Bad Sex"

"If either person is dissatisfied over the long term, it's bad sex," explains Gina Ogden, PhD, a sex therapist in Cambridge, MA, and author of The Heart and Soul of Sex. "We've been taught that good sex is intercourse where the man and woman achieve orgasm. But that's just a small part. In fact, if you ask 100 people what bad sex is, they'll all tell you how it makes them feel. And every single person may feel something different."

I think it depends on who you ask...I would guess that most men would say even bad sex is better than no sex at all...but I know a lot of women, including myself, that would respectfully disagree.

"bad sex".......when a donkey-jack screws a mare and produces a "jackass" [mule] which is neither donkey nor horse. Little bugger gotta get her while she's laying asleep or he can't reach her to copulate.

"Bad sex" is the sex I am not having, meaning if I am not having sex, that's bad.

You might get a bad haircut or a bad meal, but not bad sex.
