10 White lies men tell girlfriends and get away with..

6. “I’ll reciprocate.”

Everyone likes a sporting session of foreplay. It gets the blood pumping, the toes-curling, and the whole body generally smiling. But something that men often tell women, and often default on, is that they’ll “do it back”. See, the thing is, if men go first and then women go second, it works out for everyone. But if women go first (and finish what they started, so to speak), then just about the last thing a man is gonna want to do is do it back (or at least he’ll need a smoke, a sandwich, a gatorade, and twenty-five minutes of snuggling before it’s in his field of vision). But since it’s a favour, and favours are sort of meant to be returned, men say they’ll do it back and figure they’ll deal with the consequences when the fun is done.
