No woman would expect a man to outrightly tell her he regrets the sexual encounter they had together.
She would feel disheartened, rejected, confused and hurt. Especially if she had positive feelings about the encounter.
Many women assume that the only time a man would regret a sexual encounter is when he impregnated a woman he had no intention of siring with or picked an STI from the encounter.
But men are of a different opinion. They actually have more reasons and instances when they have regretted having sex with women.
Sidney Wabukolu said he once regretted engaging sexually with a woman because all she did was lie stiff like cold fish.
"She lay there waiting for me to do everything. No movement at all," he said.
Wabukolu said he wanted her to be as engaged as he was. The inactiveness of the woman made him think she was not as interested as he was.
Gideon Kamau said he once regretted engaging in sex with a woman because she threw away his bathing 'kagunia'.
Most Kenyans know that it takes long for the bathing kagunia to soften as one showers with it over time.
"Maybe I was petty and just didn't like her enough. She had replaced my kagunia with a soft face towel. I just wanted to feel my body being scrubbed hard enough when showering," he said.
Allan Wesonga said he regretted having sex with a woman because she would squirt a lot during sex.
Before, he had always wished to meet a woman who squirts. He thought it would be exhilarating.
"At first it was exciting because I would feel proud I was giving her pleasure. But it became boring with time as I would end up doing a lot of cleaning thereafter," he said.
Wesonga ended up calling off the relationship as he could no longer deal with it.
"I now prefer women who simply cream. Cleaning up after such a woman is easy," he said.
Derrick Mwendwa was once remorseful after picking up a woman from the club and sleeping with her.
The night went well, but in the morning, he woke up first to go to the bathroom.
Mwendwa put on the first pair of slippers he saw, wondering why hotels always put small bathroom slippers for their clients.
"It was then that she told me the pair of slippers I had put on actually belonged to her. It hit me she had gone partying with slippers on. It just didn't sit well with me," he said.
For him, it felt like he had engaged with a low-quality woman.
But who, exactly, is a 'low-quality woman'?
Men clarified that the quality of a woman has nothing to do with her literacy levels.
"You can find a woman who did not go to school at all, but she is of high value," Allan said.
Men said the value of a woman is in her behaviour. The way she carries herself. The things she would never allow herself to be involved in.
Paul Aleman once felt he had engaged with a low-quality woman in a barbershop.
He had gone for a haircut in a new barbershop as he had just moved to a new town.
To his surprise, the shop was full of women giving men massages and facials.
"She started massaging me even in areas I had not anticipated would be touched. And of course I got aroused. Very much aroused," he said.
The lady told him to part with Sh3,000 for him to get a happy ending.
Which Aleman quickly did.
But at the end of it all, he realised all he had done was not necessary.
"The way she chewed gum was not ladylike. I just didn't like it. And after, I kept wondering how many of her clients she offers the happy ending to," he said.
He also felt embarrassed as he realised he could not be proud to show her off or tell any of his friends he had slept with her.
For Manuel Odero, he was remorseful after his first-ever sexual encounter, which happened in a maize plantation.
Odero regrets the encounter as he did not know what he was doing.
"I got in. After a while it felt like I wanted to urinate. I didn't want to urinate in her but I ended up doing so," he said.
But Odero had not urinated in the woman as he thought. He had simply ejaculated.
"I had not anticipated such an ending. All I knew was I would go in and once I was tired I would come out and go home," Odero said.
That day, Odero went home feeling guilty, thinking he had disrespected the girl by urinating in her.
All in all, men said they realise not all women are to be touched or 'tasted' as some leave them with remorseful feelings, which they do not like.
