I don’t mean to brag or anything, but I used to be really good at ignoring red flags.

Like that time in college, when a boyfriend convinced me that my period was disgusting, he made it clear that anything sexual during that time of the month was off-limits.

Even shower sex was not up for discussion.

Naive college me took his words as fact. I internalized that little nugget of ignorant male opinion as a universal truth. I shunned any type of sexual activity while Aunt Flo was in town.

It’s no surprise that particular boyfriend ended up being more sexually stifling than satisfying.

It may have cost me a broken heart (and a bunch of missed orgasms), but eventually, I learned my lesson and started to notice all those flashing warning signs.

While there are plenty of relationship red flags to pay attention to, there are also a few sex-specific warnings to watch out for. If your partner exhibits any of the following subtle sexual behaviors, they might not be the healthiest and more fulfilling match for you — or your sex life.

1. They laugh at your fantasies.
