Boyfriend lost desire for sex
Posted: 02-20-08 17:45pm

Ok heres the thing.. My current boyfriend was my first.. and well we use to have fun alot.. experiment stuff like that.. but now not really i suggest stuff and hes kinda stand offish.. and after.. he loses all desire to do anything else.. am i doing something wrong or.. well does he just not want me anymore? i'm confused and well shy i dont have much experience.. and i kinda want to find something to spice things up.. we have talked about a threesome before but.. well i broke down in tears every time thinking about him with someone else or myself being with anyone else..I know he got really excited about it cause well that was the first time in over a year we had had sex more then once. Any suggestions?

The best thing you can do is communicate. Come out and ask him what's going on in a nonconfrontational way. You'll drive yourself crazy playing the guessing game.

Yea it already is.. stupid me i'm actually in tears.. I miss how things use to be.. but it seems hes so distant.. I mean after he literally wont touch me he sits across the room from me always.. and seems offish when i want a hug or something... well thats one of our main problems.. i'm extremely shy always have been i kinda have a problem talking to him especially about sex.. i mean i do fine online but in person its difficult for me or with anyone actually.. i always worry i'm not good enough or that i will hurt his feelings if i say well things arent that great i want something alittle more but i do want to share it with him no one else.. it actually made me cry when he got so excited with the prospects of having the threesome..

Please don't feel pressured to do a threesome. There would probably be lots of fallout from it and you'd be the one suffering.

Well, I suppose people will tell you that this happens eventually in relationships as they settle into a routine but like you, I would not be happy with this state of affairs. More than anything I would not like the distance that is emerging between you. It seems you are not even properly communicating. You will need to have a heart to heart with him because he is probably feeling just as concerned about things as you are. Perhaps you are reaching the end of the road with this or perhaps you just need to iron out some misunderstanding ... but you need to talk. Ideas about threesomes are just distractions - this will not get at the root of the problem and, as others have said, do not find yourself yielding to pressure to do something you don't want to do as it would only be a short term fix at best.

thanks.. i will.. i just hope he takes it well.. i mean i'm sure there are things we can do to spice things up without bringing in another person.. or maybe we just need to get away try not having sex for one night and see if we can still have fun together without it we did it before and actually the day was awesome..

Yes, it did cross my mind that maybe he is feeling under pressure to perform, or that you only want him for sex ... you know the sort of thing. Try telling him how much you value him as a friend and companion and start doing some fun things together. Don't look for sex at the end of the night and try giving him hugs that don' t lead to lovemaking.

No thats what i want more then anything to just get out do stuff but he doesnt seem to want to.. i mean he took a week off back in august and i wanted to go back up to the spot we went the year before target shooting.. we watched the sunset together and actually talked i mean there was making out and cuddling but no pressure for anything and it was great.. but sadly where we went caught fire and they closed the whole park thing down it sucked... And i do tell him how much he means to me every time.. how i care about him.. i just not sure how he feels anymore and honestly i'm terrified to find out.. i know a few people have mentioned hes probably cheating cause well we see eachother so little..
