Go Feline: “Meow” During Sex

Okay, so, remember way back when I said that it seems like everyone is reading David Zinczenko’s Men, Love & Sex: The Complete User’s Guide for Women? Well, I finally got my hands on a copy of the book, and I’m reading it. It’s got a lot of, um, interesting stuff in there to say the very least. I’ll probably write a fuller review of it once I’ve finished reading it but, in the meantime, I just wanna say this to you: meow.

Yes, you heard me correctly. MEOW.

Hmmm … I was quite surprised when I read on page 59 of the book that some men–and by “some men” I mean “one 40-year-old guy named Harris”–says that the word meow is the sexiest thing that he’s ever had a woman say to him. Meow? Really? That’s odd. But, if I remember correctly, there was a meowing line in the movie When Harry Met Sally, too. Remember? The two guys are at the batting cages and one guys says something like, ‘last night, I made a woman meow’. I may say a ton of bizarre things during sex ( … and, believe me, I’m a loud person and I’ve yelled out a lot of crazy things ….) but I can honestly say that I’ve never gone all feline and yelled meow. To anyone. Under any circumstances. Women? Men? Tell me … What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever said or heard someone say during sex?

Nope I’ve never said anything strange during or after. I have however lived above a very loud couple who always fought and screamed at each other and then the make-up sex was her screaming insanely as well. This was during my exams mind you, so enough was enough; I opened my window and screamed back “she’s faking it!”

Never heard a peep after that!

I’m not much of a talker during.

I heard of a couple who were about to begin and one of them said, “May G-d forgive us for what we are about to do.”

I always wanted to say “woof” like Madeline Kahn in Young Frankenstein. I can be loud, but now that I’m getting older I’m pulling the Mrs. Robinson vibe.

ok trying to remember sex LOL. It hasn’t been that long but feels like it….

I am not very vocal…but one time I did say “oh” and then “no” meaning Oh yeah and no don’t stop but I put them together…the guy was very confused LOL :) We didn’t stop and I explained later..it was very funny but it is part of the reason I try not to talk (evidently can’t talk and have sex at the same time LOL).

Oddest/Scariest thing I ever heard, “Oh Shit! That sounded like my husbands car.”

Sometimes my mind wanders and I’ll say something like “so would you prefer chicken or steak for dinner tonight?”

Fortunately the boy understands that I’m just ADD like that sometims.

I’ve always wondered about the “meow” thing. I’ve always thought it overblown, dumb, fake, silly and unsexy, I also think the same of other hyper-erotic feminine schtick like the breathy marilyn voice, giggling guilelessly, and irritatingly grating, high voices (a la Korean girls and Joey Lauren Adams).

I only wish I hadn’t seen/heard these things work, time and again. Sooo…

Meow, honeybutt!

Um, let’s just say my brain works much, much faster than my mouth and sometimes choices collide and merge.

Hmmm… let me explain this in an equation since I love them:

“oh” + “yeah” = “oy”

“Did you just say ‘oy’?”

We had a huge, huge laugh after that one. I don’t remember if we even finished what we were doing. :)

Lala: Yeah, I think the word “Mmmmmmm” is the universal grunt for: “me likey.”

Darwin: That’s TOO funny! And, yes, if a woman is *excessively* loud, she’s probably faking it.

Raymond: And did he?

Maria: You know what? Just to freak the next guy out, I might scream “WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!!!” right in the middle of it.

Amy: REALLY??? ;)

History Chic: Oh no! :) And, yeah, it’s been a while for me, too. Lemme see … the last time I had sex, there was a World Cup match between Brazil and somebody the next morning. :)

AWE: FUNNY!!! I laughed out loud when I read your comment. :)

El: When my mind starts to wonder, I’m usually finished so (sometimes) I just fake it so we can wrap the whole thing up and call it a night.

ErrorBoy: Mmmmmm … So, “Y” was a meower, huh? Sounds like you liked that. ;)

sid: Oh, but doesn’t EVERYONE use the breathy Marilyn voice when they sing the Happy Birthday song??? Oh, just WAIT till your birthday rolls around. Hap pee birth day miss sid vicious. :) And, you’re right about seeing these things “work”. About guys who use cheesy lines and women who silly / girlie / dimwitted things, my friend Scott always says (I’m paraphrasing here): if the shit didn’t ever work, people wouldn’t do it. Unfortunate, but true.

Howard: I’ve never yelled “oy”, but that would be a fun one, too.

Their problem is that they were both “fundie” so in their consciences this was a sin. So it was kind of a dealbreaker for both of them.

Wow. I had almost forgotten this story – but a girl I knew years ago (at my first job) said her boyfriend insisted she make every barn yard sounds she could during sex, then pee on him, and it would be over.

Ack.

I need to wash my head out with Clorox now.

My first highschool GF used to say “snarf snarf” like that little Thundercats pet to indicate that she was in the mood to fool around. That’s as far we went since we were teens.

My next GF purred. To this day purring as an unnerving effect on me.

FUNKYBROWNCHICK November 30, 2006 at 12:19 am

Raymond: Funny. :)

Amy: You are OFFICIALLY the first meower that I’ve ever “met”.

HDW: To each his / her own. :)

Dragonslayer: Oh, but purring is the universal sign for happiness!

ok maybe this is just me but I hate people say 'meow' or god-forbid 'purr' during sex. I have no idea why but I have this visceral reaction to it. Let me clarify; purring is when you vibrate your tongue on the roof of your mouth emulating the sound of a cat this is different from moaning quietly causing your chest to vibrate (which is kinda awesome). No idea where my visceral reaction of these things come from but I just hate them. I think it has to do with the generic 'sexiness' they imply.
