Would you tell your SO if they were not the best you ever had?

I'd have to say this guy I dated while My hubby and I split up earlier this year. We were filing for divorce and I met a guy and well it happens.. But it was totally the BEST I EVER had! we dated for a while and I still think of him all the time.

My hubby and I got back together and well I don't think I would ever admit that fact to him because I know it would hurt him. Plus, he is already pretty insecure when it comes to sex so I don't think I could tell him

I think if there's something my man weren't doing that I wanted him do - rather than criticizing the man I love I would simply ask him to do what I wanted him to do.

I would never say that to someone I loved.

No. I wouldn't say that, since sex especially for me is about connecting and not focused on technique or orgasms. It's a mean thing to say.

Things can always get better, it is about direction and helpfulness! I would never say so!

I second that!

I'd have to agree with some of the above posts... show him what feels good and how you want it done, and praise him well for it. There's no real point in telling him he's not good. Just show him how to be better - without telling him why.

He is the best I've ever had. Were that not the case, I still wouldn't tell him. That's a guaranteed never-get-an-erection- again move, right there.

My current spouse is the best I ever had... I don't tell him that though. I don't want him to get a big head.

I may not tell my partner that x person is better than them, but I would say could you do x to me. Leaving the other person out of it.

I would never tell someone that! That could do some serious mental damage.

If they ask I will tell. How are they going to get better if they think they are the best. I developed this theory when my ex thought he was God...then I found out he don't do NONE of it right..afterwards he got cocky and said something to the effect he has never had any complaints so he knows hes the best he ever was and asked me if he was the best I ever had. I said I've had worse but I've had WAYYYYY better. We are still friends today.

It would be seriously mean to tell that to someone I cared for. Sex is a good part, but not the most important part of a relationship. With communication it can improve.

I would try to help them to get better if I was ever put in this predicament. I did have to teach a couple of my exes on things I like and don't like and what they can do to improve.

I can't see a reason or a situation where that would be loving or even appropriate. Now I don't mean that to sound preachy or flaming, mind you, I just mean that if you truly love your partner for his amazing qualities then you want to be loving and kind.
Were it me I would begin slowly and carefully, with lots of ego stroking, suggesting some of the things that my other lover did (or does) that curl my toes. If my partner wasn't secure or could be hurt by my mentioning HOW I know it feels good then I would say, I saw it online and it looked fun or I just have always been curious....you get the idea.
Thank goodness both of my partners are pretty damn secure and delight in trying new things...and don't care where or when I got the idea.
I guess what I mean is I would never tell my beloved partner something that could devastate them when it would be easier and more fun to teach them how to be my best lover ever!
I know it's painful to be thinking of someone else and torn inside...but hey sex is a sport right? So start training your athlete!

I'd tell them, so that we could try to improve the situation.

i would keep that my little secret and maybe suggest different things to make it become the best you have EVER EVER had but if he is already insecure it will make things twice as bad......find a happy medium for you both

I wouldn't tell someone that because I think different factors determine whether the sex is good for me.Whether it be I'm feeling sexy or there's something exciting about being with them,there looks,etc that another person simply can't recreate.

After I broke up and kicked out one of my ex's, I dated a guy who I did say,
"Is it in yet" to. He was going at it like he was in a race and it was a 50 yard dash. As I was laying there unimpressed I had the mental picture of a teeny peeny and wanted him to stop and leave. My roommate heard me and started laughing so hard she was crying. As he was leaving pissed off of course she yelled out,"See ya later Itty Bitty Short Short Man" with that I started laughing. Needless to say I never saw him again.

I think I might tell them things we could try to spice things up or something but wouldn't say why.
