I've had my fair share of bedroom bloopers. One particularly grievous error has haunted my dreams to this day.
His name was Max. He looked like a Max. But for some reason my brain thought he looked more like a Jason.
Have you ever said the wrong name mid-act? It's not sexy. I'll tell ya that much.
The worst part about it was that it came out of nowhere. I wasn't hooking up with anybody else. I wasn't even THINKING about hooking up with anyone else. At least not anyone named Jason. But for some inexplicable reason, the wrong name left my lips faster than I could say.... well, the RIGHT name.
How do you recover from a fumble like that? That's right. You can't. In this case, we both pretended like it didn't happen and never mentioned it again. It's kinda like when the person next to you farts, and you know that they know that you heard it, but neither of you will say anything. It's an act of kindness really. Spare them even more humiliation. I think that's what happened in this situation. But I almost think I'd rather endure a public bodily function. Almost.
If only there were a tear in the time/space continuum. I'd go back to that moment and say his first, middle and last name just for good measure.
Have you ever made the same error? Tell me I'm not alone in my foolish ways.

That's embarassing as a motherfucker, and the worst part is you CAN'T tell the guy "Oh, I don't even know a Jason, ummm it just uh, it just came out!" No guy wants to hear that.
I've never said the wrong name, but when drunk one night, I couldn't REMEMBER her name, that was pretty funny....
Haha never happened to me...probably will one day though!
I've never slipped and said the wrong name, but dammit, I've come really, really close. The guy's name was an ordinary one, but for whatever reason my mind kept wanting me to spit out some completely unrelated names instead, until it got to the point where I had to repeatedly say his name--aloud, to myself--to make sure I wouldn't accidentally screw it up in mid-conversation. That's how bad it was!
I have; but not with a guy. I'd be with my friends and I'm always around my mom, I'd naturally just say mom. It's pretty funny actually. I'm just like wait, what?
I think it'll happen to me one day lol.
I would murder my husband in his sleep!
I've never called my husband by a different name. (Unless douchebag counts, haha.)
I once was friends with a guy who once called his girlfriend my name while on the phone. Whoops!
I was all ready to say, "you deserved it", because usually this happens to cheaters...but then I read the whole thing...
I'm sorry, but that's HILARIOUS.
Unfortunate, but hilarious. Sorry this happened to you, though. Really. But hey...at least there wasn't any awkward conversation about it. Now you can both just forget it ever happened and move on.
I've never been in a situation like this...but it happens--not just to you. We all have moments where we wish we could go back and change them. You're not alone. :)
I've done that, but not in bed...I used to know this girl Jessica, but for some reason I always thought she looked like a Rebecca. I don't know how many times I almost called her by the wrong name, and even after knowing her for several months I had to be careful to not call her Rebecca.
That's why i use generic terms like baby or hunnie
When I first started dating, I told my very first girlfriend that if I accidentally called her the wrong name, that it wasn't because I was thinking about anyone else, but just because sometimes I mix up names. Even in thought I did it.
LOL. that would be awkward
After being with my ex for almost two years, it was hard to adjust to a new name. It's like over those two years I formed a habit of saying just his name, and now that I'm with someone else, even over a year later the wrong name sometimes wants to come out.
I don't even talk to my ex anymore, but sometimes his name almost comes out of my mouth accidentally. Oops.
I accidentally called my ex (coincidentally also named Max) Sam once. Sam was the guy I dated before him.
Oops.
>.<
Suffice to say that he didn't take it very well.
I was talking to an ex on the phone (catching up) and he called me his girlfriend's name. 0.o
ha ha your not on your own here.
I get it in my head sometimes that guys have different names than they do. And like, sometimes they know about like say, David, and then I'll ask if I can call him David (cause that's his first name, he goes by his middle) and he looked at me for a minute before I realized that he thought I was referring to the first David. Oops.
Thanks goodness that hasn't happened with me. I hope it doesn't happen. my boyfriend took down pages of the handsome celebs that were on my wall. He didnt want me thinking about them during the "act."
I have a very steadfast rule. Never use a proper name while doing the deed. Less talk more groan... XD
When in bed with my ex once I called him Rachel. (the name of my best friend)
Man he looooooved that. x)
I felt like such a prat, XD
@MarksBeneathTheSkin@xanga - Same problem here- I dated my ex for almost three years, first guy I ever really loved, etc etc.... so once me and the new bf started saying "I love you", his name would just kind of come up in my brain by reflex. Thank God it only just *almost* came out of my mouth, haha. I've been with my new guy for over a year now and it doesn't happen anymore.
Once when we were fighting he called me his ex-girlfriend's name... but it's never happened again and it didn't bother me because, hey, if she's the girl he associates with being *angry*, nothing to worry about! :p Long relationships just tend to form associations, and they're hard to shake for a little while after.
"Hey Sarah, I..."
"Did you just call me Sarah?!"
"Ummm... No... I was about to say S'there a beer in the refigerator?"
only friends!
@LonerB@xanga - haha nice
