Frustrated with sex life
Posted: 04-12-08 07:12am

My fiance and I have been together for about 4 years. I moved in with him about 2 years ago and we have been engaged for 4 months.



For the first 2 years our sex life was great and included foreplay and making out. Then after moving in with him I noticed that foreplay started being less frequent and so did make-out sessions. I find myself begging him for sex and when I get it it's so selfish. There is NO foreplay or even making out to get me heated up. He just puts a condom on, has sex with me and is done after he orgasms. NEVER asking me if I've orgasmed or if I'm even satisfied. I don't remember the last time we had foreplay or the last time he's made me orgasm. I give him oral but it is not given back. I get nothing at all.


I now find myself masterbating when he goes to sleep or when he goes to work to satisfy myself. I've tried SO many times to talk to him about it (pleasantly) but NOTHING changes and he doesn't even say anything. He gets this attitude as if I'm hurting his feelings and I'm the one doing something wrong and he sits there quiet and will be like, "What do you want me to say?" I asked him, "Should I just accept that nothing will change?" and his answer was, "I don't know."



I can't handle this anymore. I'm SO frustrated with him and feel helpless. He's the most amazing person I've ever known and treats me incredibly well. The only issue we have is in the bedroom and I'm not sure how that changed. He won't even try new things, it's hopeless. Is it the fact that I moved in with him that's made him change? I ask him why there is no more foreplay and he doesn't have an answer, just, "I don't know."



It's made me so insecure with myself cuz I feel as if he's no longer visually attracted to me. I tell him this and he keeps assuring me that it isn't me but won't say why things have changed.



I don't know what to do...

so far i can get you, i think there is something with your partner. i think there is some issue with him coz usually male are prurient. from your discription it seems you have talked to him. may be he has office pressures. but i think both of you should do something about it soon, meeting some consellor is best. otherwise i don't see much future in relationship.
it may happen that he may not find you attractive, and he'll never tell you this. i read somewhere 7 yr itch is getting shorter. anyway fact is both of you need to put in effort for relationship to survive. i hope this helps you.
but i think before taking any step you should put every effort to win his heart.

Thanks for your reply!

I know I have his heart, if I didn't I don't think he would have proposed Wink

We have the BEST relationship in the world!! Like I said, our only issue is in the bedroom. Otherwise we are extremely thankful for our relationship and having each other in our lives and tell each other this frequently. I really can't put into words how wonderful our relationship is and how he treats me.

I think you may be right about office pressures. Things at his work are very stressful right now. He won't be changing jobs anytime soon so I'm not sure how to fix things in the bedroom. I've thought of counselling but there's no way he'd do that.

He said sex doesn't matter much to him in a relationship and all he needs is my love and to love me. He's absolutely perfect for me in everyway except in bed at the moment. We had no issues before so I'm thinking it's work related. Am I the one being selfish?

You're not being selfish at all. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be satisfied in the bedroom. It seems like you guys have a great relationship, but if your needs aren't being met then that is a problem. But if he still seems into you in all other aspects, then i agree that his loss of interest in sex is probably something on his end. maybe you could try approaching him differently by focusing on his needs instead of yours. tell him that you are concerned about him and see if he will talk to you about whatever is going on in his life. it may help him knowing that he has your love and understanding, without feeling like you're pressuring him. it sounds like he's getting defensive and he may feel attacked when you base the conversation on how your needs aren't being met. if you can get him to talk about whatever is bothering him it may help him to feel more comfortable and help him want to focus on your needs. hope this helps, good luck

i think there is nothing wrong about your desires. i think may be something is destroying his libido. but if your relationship is so great then why don't you try something to increase his libido (ladies do try these things). you should try to bring back that colour in your sex-life. i think sex may be getting ritual for him and bringing variation, trying newer things will certainly help both of you. i think this will certainly help you.

Hey everyone, thanks for ur replies!

I have always told my man that he can do "anything and everything" with me since the day we started sleeping with each other. He just hasn't wanted to do or try anything new or different lately, and he blames it on his work, which is completely understandable. His job demands a lot from him, especially this past year.

We had a great talk and he now sees my point of view and admitted and apologized for being selfish in bed. He said our relationship is amazing and we are incredibly happy together and that he wants me to be happy in every aspect so he is going to stop being selfish.

Things have already improved Smile
