I enjoy sex!
I am not prudish on the subject but one day, I almost died while at it and before I go further, a little background.
Ok, so there was this guy I was dating back in the day. We had so much fun and the sex was mad as in we were humping anywhere we could being young and foolish; we were even thinking of getting married someday.
He was good to me; bought me things, gave gifts to my familyโฆhe was very charmingโฆwell until he got upset, then he would go from prince charming to prince horrible!
He would threaten to send me packing from his place, at that time I was living with him. Many times, the quarrels would be over petty things, things that one would normally not even pay attention toโฆ. then the flood gates of hate speech would open. I often wondered back then, did he truly love me like he claimed?
How could you say you love someone and the next minute as in literally, you say sad, miserable things to the person?
He could be so abusive and when in that mood he was a bully; he would be sending toxic messages to me at work; he would be threatening to leave me, telling me he hoped I would meet other men who would treat me half as much as he didโฆ he would say things that hurt me so much and after a while, I pretended they didnโt get to me. I would even laugh so he wouldnโt know how much I hurt; but it always cut deep. I could never remove those words from my head.
Yes, I know I said he was a great guy but he had his other side and we all do, don’t we?
Just that temper…when he was at it, he would remind me all the things he did for me. He would list them then tell me that if I wanted, I could go try other guys and see if they would be as good as him.
Was I an ingrate? Haa, noo, I always showed gratitude but like I said, it was just his temper and nothing was off limits when he got into that mood of his.
Many times; I wanted to tell him my mind but I knew that would be gutter level; no point sending insults across. So, I would either be quiet because really, this guy had always been good to me just that he had such a temper and when he was like that; he hurt me more than anyone ever had!
And let me add, most times when we quarreled; especially if it happened at night, I would be unable to sleep. His words always cut deep; he would go on and on and I would beg and begโฆyes, I know I look like someone who doesnโt beg but I did. I always just wanted peace. He often made me think I was the one who was wrong and he was always right and I accepted it!
So there was this day, we had just quarreled and were about to sleep, it was again over something petty that ballooned into an issue I canโt for the life of me remember. I begged him to stop but he wouldnโt because he always wanted to state his mind, tell me all the wrongs I had done, minute by minute, second by second leading up to that evening, meanwhile, all I just wanted to do was to sleep but my mind was in such a turmoil, my emotions were raw from his words that night.
I pretended again that I wasnโt affected by his wordsโฆas usual and tried to make him have sex with meโฆ.
Yeah right, you’re looking at me as if we women don’t lure men into sex to settle quarrel? I did it!
I teased him, I apologized for the umpteenth time and finally, he responded.
Now, by explaining to you our relationship, I need you to understand it is related to how I almost died during sex afterwards.
No we didnโt get into BDSM, we do kinky sex but not that type.
Ok, so, we began to have sex, we were entwined, you know.., really getting down to it… his โjohnโ was up and hard as rock, I felt, aha, I got him but you know, his words still rang in my head and I was bleeding inside. I wanted him to just penetrate, you know, hard fuxx and …so we were just getting into it.
I lay there naked with my breasts spread like mangos from different trees, my legs were apart, pubic recently waxed, I wanted him to just enter and begin to thrust deepโฆ my eyes were shutโฆ
Why did I shut my eyes? What kind of question is that? Women donโt shut their eyes anymore? Please let me finish my gist. So there I was o, waiting and hoping that his lovemaking would ease those nasty wordsโฆ
Sis, as I laid there and he came in, I opened my legs wider, so as to accommodate him betterโฆthen he had this wild idea for us to move position, you know, upside down kind of position, something we had seen in a movieโฆnot a very dangerous sex position… and we had tried it a number of times and enjoyed itโฆ
I should have told him my mind wasnโt in it but hey, I wanted us to make up, nothing like makeup sex and so I moved o.
My head hanging down the side of the bed, my legs spread wildly and arched so he could come inโฆas soon as he began thrusting like madโฆsuddenly, I looked and I saw him turning, like he was spinningโฆwhuoo,whooo,whoooo
I said, huh?
Did too much blood rush to my head? What is this, biko?
Yes, my bobo was spinning on top of me. I shut my eyes and opened them again. There again, he was spinning. I screamed. Because my eyes couldnโt keep up with the fast pace he was movingโฆI lifted my head and there he was, still spinning.
Nooo, it wasnโt a sexual act, I was the one who became dizzy!
First thing I asked myself, โwhy is he spinning like that?โ
By then, I shut my eyes again, opened them and there he was spinning and I was falling, sliding down, you know I was half hanging on the bed anywaysโฆimmediately, he knew something wasnโt rightโฆ, he pulled out; I looked at him, still erect, he pulled me into the bed and watched me as I began to slide sideways… I looked, he and the bed were spinning, the ceiling was spinning, the room was like a fast merry-go-roundโฆI swear and I was holding my head and screaming from sheer fright!
I shut my eyes! I told him he was spinning, he said he wasnโt spinning. โWhy would I spin, for what? On top of you?โ
Ha!
It wasn’t funny then!
By now my bobo was in panic mode, he ran across the room to get me some water from the fridge. I peeked with a half shut eye and saw that his ‘john Thomas had now shrunk from fright and was dangling between his legs as he hurried to get help.
I couldnโt hold myself upright; he came back with water, wet towelโฆa bottle of mineral waterโฆ I couldnโt hold anything downโฆ
What is this!
Every time I opened my eyes, the room was spinning.
My guy began to pray under his breath, I heard him say, “Please, let nothing happen to her, they will say I fuxxedher to death, how would I explain myselfโฆ?โ
Ha, it wasnโt funny then o. Me sef, I was praying, โBiko God, I donโt want to meet you like this, naked and…please help meโฆโ I thought I was going to die that night o when even after about 10 minutes everywhere was still spinning.
Hummn
Let me say here, I have never been dizzy before, never had any of such things where you would see double or anything. So was it the sexual position? Maybe.
I put it down to my state of mind and that night, google indeed was our friend, we searched google over and over again, asking what we needed to do. We googled: feeling dizzy while having sex. feeling dizzy when upside down…dizzy spells and emotions, what to do when dizzy…
Why didnโt we call any doctor?
Well, this isnโt the sort of story you want to tell your doctor or friends, Iโm just telling you because I am anonymous!
And as for the boyfriend, well, that’s story for another day.
