Unlikeable protagonist
The protagonist derides and objectifies the female he has sex with in the first scene, basically calling her the equivalent of a whore, without justification. I have nothing against adult content but it should be respectful.

While I agree that his reply wasn't the most friendly sounding the poster who said it wasn't funny wasn't much help either with how little detail they gave in their critique of the story. Why wasn't it funny? He/she doesn't say anything about that. If someone doesn't like something about a story I'd say at least include something of why in the critique. Spoiler tags will hide it from those who don't want the story spoiled I'd think. And in any case the poster didn't lose anything as the story was offered for free.

Touche Don, though how much time is lost with a short story is hard to figure when the story is only 5,399 words long. That's about 21.5 pages if you figure that a page is 250 words, so maybe an hour assuming they read the complete text. Though I will grant you the point that there is no way to refund time that is lost.
