Everyone has their "type" when it comes to sexual attraction.

It could be a woman's scent, a man's fashion sense, or a confident attitude that really gets a heart fluttering at 100 m.p.h.

People discuss the looks and behavior that are off-putting to them.

Know-It-All

"Everyone's typing sexual shiz, but here's mine: Ego. When someone thinks they're just a top of the line kinda person and know everything about anything? No, just no."

"Had a guy I had just started dating awhile back ask me about my job at the time. I was telling him about it, but he would interrupt me to try and CORRECT me on things he clearly had no idea about (and was also wrong about every time he opened his mouth lol)."

Toxicity

"Many things, but, the romanticising of toxic behaviour and toxic relationships primarily in films."

"That" Couple

When it comes to the bedroom, these activities were ones Redditors could do without.
