“My new boyfriend woke me up for sex one morning. It was really early and I wasn’t fully awake, but I allowed him to get on top of me. When we were done, I noticed that the spot I was laying on was cold and wet. Thinking that the damp patch was just perspiration I ignored it and went back to sleep. Ten minutes later my guy woke me up and pointed to a huge red spot on the bed asked me if I was menstruating. I was so embarrassed I didn’t know where to hide my face. Worse, the blood left a stubborn stain on his mattress, and, months later, we still can’t get it out.” – Lisa*, 33, real estate agent

“I was kissing my boyfriend during sex when all of a sudden I felt an itch in the back of my throat. Unfortunately I couldn’t pull my mouth away in time and ended up coughing into his mouth. He was grossed out, to say the least, but for some reason I couldn’t stop coughing for at least several minutes and had to leave the room to get some water. Talk about a mood killer!” – Carla*, 27, PR executive

“I was making out with this hot guy on his couch and we slowly began taking our clothes off. I must have been really excited because when I unzipped his jeans I pulled the zip down a little too fast and hard. The zip caught on his skin, causing him to yell out in pain. Luckily he had a sense of humour about it so he just laughed it off, but he never let me undress him again after that.” – Marcia*, 25, yoga teacher

“I had bought a massage candle, thinking that it would make a fun and romantic addition to my sex life. After 20 minutes of waiting for the wax to melt, I poured the hot scented liquid all over my husband’s back and began massaging him. But instead of moans of pleasure, all I heard were groans of pain. The melted wax wasn’t that hot, but my hubby has sensitive skin and he kept insisting that I had scalded him. He made me get rid of the candle after that. So much for trying to be romantic!” – Tanya*, 35, teacher

“In the throes of ecstasy during my last sexual encounter, I accidentally yelled out my ex-boyfriend’s name a couple of times. It was only when my new boyfriend stopped what he was doing and I opened my eyes that I realised what I’d done. I apologised repeatedly for my mistake but my guy was really upset and hurt. In the end, he was convinced that I was still in love with my ex and refused to date me anymore.” – Annabelle*, 27, lawyer

“I like rough sex, so whenever I make love with my partner, I tend to get carried away with my movements. Several weeks ago I was on top of him and riding him rather enthusiastically. My hips were moving so fast and so aggressively that I hadn’t realised that I was pushing his body closer and closer towards the head of the bed. All of a sudden his head hit the headboard and I heard a loud knock. It must have been a hard hit because my guy actually yelled out in pain. After that night, we decided that we would pad our headboard with pillows whenever we had sex.” – Amanda*, 33, designer

“My partner and I are pretty kinky, but I think I went overboard when I bit his neck too hard one night while having sex. The pain was so bad that he actually recoiled and there was blood where my teeth had pierced his skin. Thankfully the wound was small and healed rather quickly, but since that night I’ve been careful not to let myself get too crazy with the biting.” – Joycelyn*, 34, editor

“I’d had a bit too much to eat at dinner and was suffering from indigestion. Despite the discomfort, I still had sex with my husband after we got home. It was going okay until we decided to get in the doggy position. No sooner had I got on all fours that I started experiencing severe stomach cramps. And then, from out of nowhere I passed gas – it sounded horrible and smelled even worse. My poor husband was so disgusted he had to leave the room. As embarrassing as that was, I have to admit, it was pretty funny, too.” – Cathy*, 34, writer

“My husband likes talking dirty in bed, and one night I decided to reciprocate by telling him that he had an amazingly huge and beautiful penis. But I was so self-conscious about my voice and what I was saying that I ended up laughing uncontrollably and couldn’t get the right words out. Instead of sounding sexy I sounded like a total fool. I never tried talking dirty to my hubby again after that.” – Vicky*, 32, marketing officer

“I went down on my fiancée on a night when I happened to be crazy-drunk. I was giggling so much that I wasn’t exactly focused on the task at hand, and I bit the tip of his penis by accident. Of course, it hurt like crazy and he screamed. Needless to say, the pain I inflicted on him totally killed the mood so we couldn’t resume the deed, and in fact, my poor fiancée was so traumatised by the incident that he refused to let me near his penis for the next several days.” – Esther*, 29, sales manager

“I was trying to do a sexy striptease dance for my fiancée when the heel on my right stiletto caught the leg of a chair, causing me to fall forward and land on my face. It made for an awkward – and painful – moment, but my fiancée and I had a good laugh about it and I picked myself right back up and continued my dance.” – Kate*, 30, lawyer
