Whoever tells you they don\u2019t have an embarrassing story of a sex-related nature is lying through their teeth. Here at LELO, we all have our cringe-worthy anecdotes and we <\/i><\/b>own<\/b> them. Show us yours and we\u2019ll show you ours.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Bad<\/p>\n

There is a saying that comedy equals tragedy plus time. With this, the same rules apply. They might be mortifying at first, but the cringe wears off after a while and so every ridiculous sex story<\/span> morphs into a hilarious anecdote You know, the one you reach for when you want to impress or entertain your friends with the new levels of awkwardness you\u2019ve managed to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to really kick the shame out of the equation and just take these things as they are – funny as hell. Remember, there is no such thing as perfect sex. There is no such thing as sweat-free sex. Everyone pulls funny faces. There are thousands of funny sounds the human body can produce. There are millions of potential ways to end up with the dumbest of injuries, just ask your nearest E.R. doctor, they\u2019ll agree. If there is no judgment, there can be no shame.<\/span><\/p>\n

So doing what we do here at <\/span>LELO<\/span>, we have developed such an appreciation for these tales that we decided to start our own Bad Sex Awards, but we\u2019re definitely not the first ones to think of this. In case you have never heard of the Literary Review\u2019s Bad Sex in Fiction Awards, check them out <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. As we all know, sometimes life truly does imitate art, but when it comes to awkward sex, real life can be <\/span>so much worse<\/span><\/i>. For every single award-winning fictional scene you\u2019ll find there, we\u2019ll bet you a pretty penny that someone out there has a real-life story that is <\/span>so much worse.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It might even be you. And guess what? You\u2019re definitely not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join in our mission to show sex for what it is – a desperately and completely human experience meant to bring you joy without worrying about the way you look, sound or bend.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll feature the cringiest of cringes in our newsletter, on our blog and social media, so make sure you subscribe and enjoy your monthly dose of sex-gone-hilariously-wrong episodes. To submit your own story, e-mail us at <\/i><\/b>volonte@lelo.com<\/i><\/b> with the subject BAD SEX. Our copywriters will be choosing the winning entries on a monthly basis and deliver them straight to your inbox.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
