But the internet says it all better, and more succinctly, and frankly, a damn sight funnier. There are countless sexy books, movies, TV shows, and stand-up specials out there dedicated to the intricacies, etiquette and expectations of getting laid. Sometimes, all you can do is laugh about it. But don't worry the awkwardness is part of being a human who enjoys sex. While it would be nice for all our hookups to be set to romantic orchestral scores and culminate in simultaneous orgasms for all parties, the reality is that sex is often awkward, messy, and embarrassing (see: these people who injured themselves doing the deed). There's the sex that we see in movies.and then there's the sex that happens in real life.
