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

My ex-gf always wanted to know if she was the best I ever had...for the most part she was but when it came to oral sex not so much. I told her and she always tried to make it better.

I dont think Id tell him. If anything, Id nonchalantly suggest ways to make our sex life better since I wouldn't want to be deceitful either if I'm not enjoying it.

I started to tell him once when we were fighting, but I decided there are somethings that shouldn't be said...I love him to much to tell him something that would hurt him.

It would just make a partner uncomfortable if you told them that they weren't as good as previous partners- but you could always give them hints or tell them what you want.

I wouldn't outright say, you aren't the best i've had or something along those lines.

I would simply point them in the right direction. You know what feels good on you. You can't expect your partner to know that. So you just guide them.

I am not sure I would tell him he isn't the best I have had in fact my most recent ex was pretty much the best I have had with an exception of a few things. I simply told him hey do it like this instead of like this. It helped a lot telling/showing him what I wanted

If he outright asked, I would outright tell him.

She's the best I ever had, so it doesn't matter.

The only way I would tell them- is if we having an honest indepth chat about previous sexual encounters- and they specifically asked. I can't lie to a direct honest question. But just in general? Nah..

WOW...that's not even remotely funny to me. To each their own I suppose.

I'd tell them, and talk about why to help improve to what we both want.

I wouldn't say that to somebody. It would be really rude.

Of course, people who ask, "Am I the best you've ever had?" usually have some issues with insecurity. If someone asked me and I demurred on the question, and I was asked repeatedly, I'd say, "Do you really want the truth? Because I don't want to lie." Honestly, I think it's rude to ask someone that question.

I've never had a man ask me that question. Nor have I ever asked a man this question.

I did date at least one guy who probably would have asked, but he had some self absorption issues and I didn't ever have sex with him for that and other reasons.

I probably wouldn't phrase it like that. I'd tell them what they could do to improve.

If a guy flat out asked if he was the best I'd had, I'd tell him the truth. If you are going to ask a question like that, you should be ready for the answer, whatever it is.

Telling him would not serve a purpose other than hurt him.

I don't see a reason to rank people. Nothing good can come of it. I've said "best" and I wish I hadn't. Because different people have different strengths; that someone is more practiced at, like, spanking, shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe they're less-practiced in other ways.

But really, the notion of being "good at sex" is a fake idea. I've had enough partners to know that individual tastes are very very different. Being "good in bed" means being a good listener and observer. It doesn't mean anything else. And it definitely doesn't mean getting "good at" one thing and then doing the same thing over and over with different partners. That doesn't work.

If someone I was with were not a good listener, wasn't willing to try new things, why am I with them? (I haven't had this problem recently.)

No, I wouldn't tell. But I would teach my newest guy what I like! Now you know what's good, just find a way to get it from your guy.

My SO is the guy that opened me up to trying all different positions and types of sex, so I'd say he's definitely the best partner I'd ever had. But I chose no, I wouldn't directly say "hey, my ex was better" but I would make suggestions or maybe not ask for sex as much. I feel like sex is a necessary part of a relationship so if I really love someone, it's gotta be there in the bedroom or I would try to work on it.

I wouldn't tell him. I'd rather try to guide him gently in the right direction.

I would not tell my husband as it is a sore point for our relationship. My husband is the best, most consideration love (and the nicest cock) but I have had a partner that was better at oral.

Well I voted no then started thinking about it. Just to tell her for the sake of telling her? No way. However, if we were having a positive sex conversation and she asked the question herself, I think I would be honest with her. Communication is key in a good sex life between husband and wife and by me being honest with her it might lead to her eventually being the best. Flip it around...I'd want to know so I could work on improving to better her pleasure.
