It started with a simple tweet from radio host Thabo Mokwele.
“What do you prefer in bed, vocal or silent sex? Why are (most) men silent during sex? And why is English the default language in bed?” Asking very important questions, Mokwele needed answers.
Using the hashtag #WhyMenAreSilentDuringSex, the tweet started trending within a matter of hours, with many social media users offering their own theories.
One user, @LindyNtsoko, suggested that moaning during a moment of passion makes things sexier.
Another said that men are scared they’ll call out the wrong name so they choose to remain silent.
We are just scared that we will call out the wrong name when we are vocal

And in a moment of “honesty”, one user confessed that guys aren’t really as much into sex as the ladies are.

And our absolute favourite:
Its a trap! Don’t do it. Brothers don’t do it😭.. at that moment you’re exchanging souls. You’ll be acting like a B- when she’s not giving you attention, 💀throwing tantrums. Constant moodswings. Crying here and there. Distancing yourself from ya Boys.#WhyMenAreSilentDuringSex https://t.co/6aTjHR36Ls
Guys, you may be on to something. According to an online survey by her.ie, your boyfriend calling you by his ex-girlfriend’s name during sex was rated at No.7 on the biggest turn-off scale.
The best advice? Silence works every time.
