I give people that can pull of casual sex like this a lot of credit. I'm not old fashioned, I'd just be anxious as heck about an intimate moment being one of the only things I'm being judged upon by another person. It's such a hard thing to practice and be truly good at (it's inherently awkward, and porn certainly doesn't count as practice). It's a joke, but comments like this just make it feel almost like a competition. I'd feel like I was taking a big exam or on stage without a rehearsal.

Sex is not a performance sport

Wait, then who are these people sitting at a table next to my bed, holding cards with numbers on them?

They're playing poker.

If I don't feel like I can have a good mutual laugh during, I'm not interested. Not many people I personally can achieve that kind of chemistry with in one night.

For me, I can't go on without a referee in the room

The way I see it, competitive casual sex works better when all parties know that there's a competition.

The best of the best get to stand awkwardly in an office waiting to find out why their bits are itchy. Winners!

Applicable if your competition is about combinatorics.

Come on, we can do better than counting the ol' in-and-out, competition-wise.
