  • The Cockblock Lowdown


    Do you have a cockblocker in your life? You know, that very special friend who has a habit of appearing at your side just as you’re about to seal a rather lucrative deal with the hot girl/guy at the bar? I’m sure it happens to everyone at some point but I want to know, do you have a serial cockblock that’s killing your sex life? Are you even aware of it?

    Cockblocking popped up on my agenda yesterday, when a girl responded to my Sex Schedule post saying her kids are cockblocks. Totally inspired, I decided to undertake some very scientific research on Urban Dictionary to understand the true extent of cockblocking.

    And I can report cockblocks come in all shapes, sizes and species. 

    1) The Cockblock Abu: The animal form of the cockblock. My roommate adopted the tiniest little “half pug half some sort of terrier” yesterday and I initially thought fuck, that dog is going to be a babe magnet. Now I’m concerned my poor roommate has acquired a canine Cockblock Abu:

    “A Cockblock Abu, or CBA, is any person or creature that hinders the sexual conquests of his companion. The origin stems from the Disney classic, Aladdin, where Aladdin's advances at tapping Jasmine were constantly thwarted by the presence of his god-forsaken primate sidekick.”

    2) The Cock Blockade: It’s a gender neutral phenomenon. It involves either a large group of women attempting to “protect" their friend from that total asshole at the bar (who isn't actually an asshole), or an army of men who take it upon themselves to target one of their friends, and try and make him as sexually unsuccessful as possible on a night out. I’ve definitely seen the female Cock Blockade in action. It generally involves five girls dragging the girl getting chatted up to the bathroom for no reason.

    3) Cockblocked By Association: Along the lines of "you want to have sex with your brother's best friend but bros don’t do that to each other.” Can also arise if a best friend has dated someone who you really want.

    4) Cockblockalips: I’m not convinced about this one. Cockblockalips consists of a vagina with such large labia that it cockblocks a guys penis from entering. Any Datingish readers willing to admit to being Cockblockalipped?

    5) Cockblocked by Jesus: Self explanatory. Religious beliefs are the holy trinity of cockblocks. When it comes to Christianity, The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are making sure you’ve got absolutely no chance. Unless you propose.

    6) Cockblock Stigmata: A pretty sneaky form of cockblocking, carried out by social media savvy individuals, primarily female. It involves the posting of messages, photos and status updates heavily featuring a potential fuck, even though the stigmata and the "potential fuck" aren’t in a relationship. Think about it like lions peeing around their territory, except you’re peeing around your potential fuck, using status updates.

    7) Cockblock Your Own Cock: Probably the worst form of cockblocking, as it’s entirely self-inflicted. It involves being so close to scoring you can taste it, then saying something like, “I’m 32, I have a pet worm called Plelt who sleeps in my bed, and I live with my mum. I hope that’s not a problem for you. Let’s grab a taxi.”

    8) Cockblocalypse: This is the cockblock equivalent of being kicked in the balls. You get so badly cockblocked by friend/foe/pet/yourself that the fallout of the cockblock is a complete loss of confidence in sexual prowess. The impact can last for weeks, if not months.

    Do you have a cockblock that’s killing your sex life? Are you a cockblocker?

    oh my god.  let me start by not just commending, but extolling your completely original topic which i am fairly certain has never been writtten about on d-ish before. 

    so, you missed a few, which i suppose could be considered subsets of a couple of the aforementioned cockblocks:

    a) sober girls.  listen, i have no problem with people who don't drink.  that's a personal choice.  but i do have a problem with people who don't drink, then go out to an alcohol-centric environment (e.g. the club) where they proceed to be a complete fucking buzzkill. 

    b) on the flip side of that coin, the alcohol cockblock, where you may have had just a few too many shots of tequila in pregame.  when you hit that point of shitfaced-ness where you're slurring your words just a little bit too obviously, maybe can't remember the girl's name, probably can't walk in a straight line.  plus side:  you are the best dancer in the fucking world.

    c) the reputation cockblock, where a girl expresses interest in you at a party, but her friend finds out, and decides that based on his limited experience of knowing you ONCE before, he shouldn't leave her side for the rest of the night cause we're probably going to go in the bathroom and make out again. notice how i said this was a guy friend who cockblocked me? yeah, i'm still pretty fucking angry about this one.  (some girls are kind of into the "bad boy" thing, but i prefer to play the humble, innocent boy, mostly because those are the kinds of girls i'm into.)

    My biggest cockblock is the fact that I live with my parents.

  • lovelife

    @TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - Haha I like your extensions ... they all seem very plausible cockblocks. And thanks for the positive feedback. Slightly off the wall topics don't always get as many views but I'm trying to write stuff which is a bit different so I really like to hear when people enjoy my posts. Thank you :)

  • vicdaily@xanga
  • xhalesx@revelife

    @vicdaily@xanga - Yup. Me too. No problem with that.

  • xhalesx@revelife

    @pnrj@xanga - So does my boyfriend...But that's not his biggest cockblock.

  • P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga

    that's why I don't want to have kids. you can't prance around naked or wear a sexy outfit around the house, because I love to dress up, because that would be awkward and creepy around your kid(s), then bend over randomly and have jungle sex with my tarzan after you clean up your kids' slobber, change their stinky diapers, and try to get them to take another nap because you want a quickie with your s.o., your mood has been ruined and you don't exactly feel sexy when you just wiped your kid's vomit*supergross* my bf cockblocked the other cocks for me on my social network profile by plastering his lovey dovey comments all over my page.

  • WaitingToShrug@xanga

    #5 happened to me before. I got dumped before I was even dating this guy, because he felt like I was going to tempt him or something. We were just talking at that point, and I hadn't tried to seduce him or anything... my poor little 19 year old self was so confused. He's married now. I wonder if he stayed a virgin until then. 

  • Awake_My_Soul420@xanga

    LMAO it's so funny you say this because I have this friend who I went to the bar with a couple times & has told a couple guys have yelled at him for being a cockblock while they were trying to flirt with me.. I'm like, "Well, I appreciate your cockblocking!" because they were both guys I would NEVER sleep with. 

  • anonymous

    I especially relate to the one where if a friend already got with a guy I was really into I won't touch him.  I don't care what people say I may barely share food with friends but not men I want to be with.  Sloppy seconds are gross period.  It's weird though guys don't seem to care about the bro code and I have hooked up with friends before in the past.  Then again it wasn't anything serious with either of them so...

    I also agree with one of poster's comments that living at home with the parents is a huge cockblock.
    One time no one was home and my dog also kept scratching the door wanting in, totally agree about the animal one, too, hahahaha.

  • Jendog88@xanga

    @TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - "plus side:  you are the best dancer in the fucking world." Hahaha... I got a huge grin reading that part of your comment. xD

  • ninetailedevee@xanga

    What term do lesbians use when this happens? I mean technically not cock is being blocked.

  • xsimplepleasuresx@xanga

    The mid-sex cockblock is worse.  The guilty being my Jack Russel Terrier, who feels the need to check on my wife if she makes a sound.  I have to put the dog in the basement if we want privacy.

  • tictact0e0@xanga
    One kind of cockblocking I haven't seen yet is the one where the cockblock saves the girl. The scenario would when a guy is trying to get with a girl and from the horrified look on her face, she wants out but isn't able to get away from the guy so the cockblock steps in to save her or help her escape. If cockblock in this case is a guy, it can earn him brownie points towards the end of the night.., maybe...

    You forgot the SIBLING COCK BLOCK

    every time I'd be out with my twin brother he would try his hardest to be the game killer, "protecting me"...which sounds cute and considerate, but it sucked. a lot.

    He was so bad at picking up chicks he'd put all his focused energy into killing my night, basically.
  • AnnieLeigh@xanga

    I'm #5, but I'm not exactly getting any offers either, so it's no problem right now :] I'm sure it'll leave me with absolutely no one to date in the future when, hopefully, anyone takes some sort of interest in me.

    This is a hilarious post, and I love that it's off the wall as you said in an earlier comment. Keep it up! :]

    As a guy, in my experience there are two major types of cockblocks as far as friends go. There is the "UCB" or the unintentional cockblock, and the "ICB" or intentional cockblock. The "UCB" is usually either a chubby or simply socially awkward friend who doesn't take well to hints, and will stay way past his welcome talking about "survivorman" or "pawn stars", while you are trying to seal the deal. He is completely oblivious. It pisses you off, but, it happens sometimes. The "ICB", on the other hand, is a douche canoe. Sometimes you may even wonder why you are friends with this person. This person will deliberately expose any shortcoming you may have to anyone remotely interested in you. I have a friend who not only does this, but is proud of it. Needless to say, he doesn't get invited out much. 

  • olopocram2@xanga

    @TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - I would agree with you if instead of club you mentioned bar.  Club goers go to dance, at least from my experience, not to drink.  Bars on the others hand have not other use than to drink.  I've never heard of anyone say they went to the bar for the peanuts. 

  • under_the_carpet@xanga

    once I left a friend alone with a guy who tried to flirt with her, because I thought that was polite. she was angry because she wanted me to 'save' her.

  • VampireOfSeduction@xanga

    Work is my biggest cockblock. lol

  • TheNotoriousGOD@xanga

    @olopocram2@xanga - there are other variables, too.  if you go to a club with house or dubstep or any of those other untz untz untz types of music, then you're right, people are just there to roll and dance.  you need to go to a club with top 40 and hip-hop.  (you can't do exclusively hip-hop because those clubs have only black people, and those girls won't express any interest in you if you're not black.) 

    a couple of my friends don't like bars because there is a higher probability people are there "just to hang out with my friends" than to meet new people.  it's fine if you're a particularly engaging person, but even then, you're not going to bring a girl home with you that night.  i've never gotten more than a phone number from a bar.  however, i also like to talk a LOT, so i try to go to places with both, so i can talk in the bar area and then ask if she wants to go dance after a little bit of chit-chat.  alternatively, if you go early enough, the music is at a lower volume and there tend to be fewer guys.

    if you're concerned about girls going to clubs just with their friends, i have 2 comments:  a) i call bs on these girls every time, and b) you can always tell by body language (and other factors) what they're up to that night. 

  • Im_Amelia@xanga

    @tictact0e0@xanga - well it's not really cock blocking if you weren't interested in "the cock" to begin with..

  • TheNightOut@xanga

    @vicdaily@xanga - being 5 is a massive cockblock. don't wanna get get put on that child offenders register!
