We Asked Gay Porn Actors About That "Spell Coconut" Sex Tip

We love a good sex tip. We do! Sex-ed was lacking with them so we have to pick them up where we can. But this week on social media there was one word of advice that had us questioning everything we've learned so far.

The tip reportedly came from a Facebook conversation among Kenyan women. It was fairly simple to understand, when translated: if you happen to be riding someone and find yourself at a loss for what to do, spell "coconut" with your waist. The tip went globally viral. This is what was going to get you a man, this was going to help you keep a man -- it was full proof. Except had anyone actually tried it? And does it work for gays? So we asked!

We called up three power bottoms who also happen to be porn stars and asked for their thoughts. And surprisingly, one had already put it to use!

For what it's worth, before we get to the experts, we would just like to say that having thought about this a lot it seems that it might be easier and more enjoyable if the top was the one doing the spelling with their hips while standing. Someone try it out and report back on that!

I haven't heard of this tip in particular, but I have heard of the alphabet one where you spell the alphabet while you're eating someone out. You're just supposed to go through the letters and find the ones they react to and keep doing those letters over and over.

I've been sitting here trying to do the "Coconut" one with my hips -- I don't have a dick right now to put in me -- but it's kind of hard. I just feel like I am just doing a bunch of O's. Like C and then to do the O you have to finish the C circle. So you just keep going in circles until you get to the end.

It feels like it would be a good break if you've been like on your feet bouncing, you could drop down and start spelling "coconut" instead, I guess. Or maybe it's like the "challenge is to spell coconut" but really it's just about learning to swivel your hips sometimes because this seems like you're going to be trying really hard.

My favorite tip is actually spelling the alphabet for eating someone out. It's kind of hard to do with a dick but you could do it that way, too. I'm normally bottoming so I'm not usually eating ass a lot but when I do, that's my go-to. Letters like C, O and U are always the best.

I actually saw this on Twitter a few days ago. I thought it was the funniest thing in the world but I was also wondering how it would work. I just didn't think it wouldn't feel good for anyone involved. When a dick is inside of you, the best thing to do is up and down and this has a lot of circles. Like why would you play with it like it's a joystick instead of actually using it?

I almost never ride people in the first place. I believe that if a bottom has to douche then the top should have to do the most of the work. I think that's only fair. So I really never ride people. But I saw the tweet when I was in LA traveling and thought, "oh this is funny," and figured I would never think about it again. But I saw it as I was waiting for a guy to come over. Anyway, this guy comes over and he was really nice and really hot but he like lays down and says "ride me" and I had just seen it so I was like "here's my chance, I have to try it."

I actually did it twice: the first time I did it the normal way and then the second time I would sort of like reverse the letter to switch it up. Because like the COCO, that gets old really fast. I was facing him and on my hands and my feet the whole time so I could lift myself up easily, sort of like when you're crab walking in elementary school so I could get as much up and down motion as I could get while I was doing it but it was a lot to do. It was fine. I didn't feel anything and then the guy made fun of me for it because he had just seen the tip online too. So he was like "wait are you doing the 'coconut' thing?" in the middle of us having sex. He said it didn't feel great, it didn't feel bad, it just felt like you were grinding on his dick and not getting fucked. So it didn't do anything for anybody really.

My number one tip -- and this is such a cop out -- but for fellow bottoms, you need to find what feels best for you. Like don't worry about whether his cock feels good because if you feel good the top feels good. So for me I know that missionary sucks because of how my internal anatomy is so you just have to find what works for you and force them to do it. It'll feel better for everyone.

I literally just came across this last night on Twitter. But I didn't know it was a tip, I thought it was like one of those like "say 'I' and then spell cup," sort of things where you end up saying "I see you pee." So I was like, "is it like 'see you nut?'" But I have heard of another tip that's sort of like this. When I was at San Diego Pride for a gig we were in the bathroom and people were talking about the best way to eat someone out and they said the alphabet thing. But that's the only letter thing I've heard with sex.

Coconut is only a few letters. You need to be spelling whole sentences. If seven letters is enough for you, you must be doing something right, I guess. But also like once you get to the U and the T you could totally fall off the dick. I'm sitting in the gym right now trying to do it and I don't know. The C is going to be good and the O. But I think you can't be trying to spell something, you need to lose your inhibitions for good sex when you're riding. Maybe numbers would be good. Thinking about the shape of the numbers there's a lot of swirls. I think a 5 would be great. But not coconut -- the first few letters, COCO, will make him nut but I don't think you should spell the whole thing.

For me my best tip when you're riding is to face the person. For me it's all about the intimacy and connection. Plus you can kiss and play with his nipples and all of that. I don't like reverse cowboy, like what are you looking at? What am I looking at? And like if I'm trying to spell "coconut" I'm going to have a weird look on my face trying to remember how to spell it. No, just forget the spelling.
