    I think if a man were posting this about a woman, there would be a lot more sympathy for her. Not all men are sex-machines like not all women always 'have a headache'. Sex isn't a reason to just drop someone cold turkey. OP, don't attach his sexual tendencies to your self-esteem. Any time that happens you put yourself in a position of weakness where it's easy to pick up negative sexual habits and a lot of resentment. Don't take it personally. Just communicate with him and if necessary, politely end it.
    I would say the exact same thing to a man. Don't continue a relationship in which you feel bad or ashamed after sex.

    She never said exactly what happens. She might be feeling 'stupid' on her own. If he's actually putting her down, it's a problem. If she's just feeling stupid/ashamed/rejected simply because he doesn't have a high libido, then she's attaching his sexual habits to her self-worth which is her own issue that needs to be resolved.

    I have been dating a guy for about 2 months. We have been intimate a few times and seem to like one another a lot. We have been 'friends" for 10 years. We see one another about three times a week with spending the night over one another's houses on most of those nights. However, most of the nights when I am ready to "be intimate" he has no interest. HE makes me feel stupid almost for even thinking about having sex. He complains that I try to be sexual. I don't try every time but probably everyother time we are together. I try to do things to turn him on but end up just getting turned down or he falls asleep before anything happens. Now, in the past with any other man that I have been with(when I was 30lbs heavier) that ends up turning into a relationship the first year we can't keep out hands off one another, especially when it comes to cuddling up at bedtime ;-)
    Can someone, male or female tell me what the heck is going on? We are 26, young in my eyes, and I am always ready to show him how I feel physically about him, if you catch my drift. HELP! I am starting to feel very insecure and confused.

    You need to ask HIM what's going on because we can only guess... Us guessing isn't going to resolve your problem.

    Talk to him. This is not normal behavior. Regardless of why, you are obviously not happy or satisfied with this part of your relationship and you're only 2 months in. Talk about it and resolve it or move on. I fully believe sexual compatibility is very VERY important!

    I agree with this. At the 2-month point, you guys should be having sex CONSTANTLY and not be able to keep your hands off each other. And, I think its even more ridiculous that he makes you feel ashamed for initiating. I think if it were me, I'd move on or at least tell him how you feel... and don't hold back. You shouldn't be made to feel bad for wanting sex from your own boyfriend.

    :huh: what are this other posts i read from ppl who say "you should end a relashionship if you feel ashamed after sex" ?
    really ppl??? i did not read anything in this girls post about shame ...sex is presented in society as being a shamefull thing ofc but this should not end your relashionship. you found new ways to be intimate with an old friend who already knows you so well i thinhk that is gr8 many ppl would feel comfortable in a situation when you know each other so well on the other hand it can get akward like you say it did (in bed) you don't need to end anything or get seriouse about anything and transform into a big bad seriouse maneater worfgirl ( ahaha i'm on a roll tonight) just be your plain self he SURE liked 10 years until now and let things flow.if its meant to be sex between the 2 of you it will be if it's not dont push.after sex talks are also gr8 it's the best time to state that you like it or want it more often :flowerforyou:

    Sounds like he wants you as a friend with some benefits and no more. That is all.

    I'm guessing he has no religious affiliations then maybe because you two have been friends he wants to go extra slow because he values you more.IMO 2 months even though you 2 have been friends for a long time isn't enough time to have relations.Just my thought.I would want to get to know more about the person before giving my body away.Talk to him if you really value him.

    Have you tried talking to him rather than random strangers on the internet?

    Trying to figure this out without knowing his viewpoint is virtually impossible. It could be one or a number of different things.

    I guess you knew what the right thing to do was (ie talk to him) before you posted. Perhaps you were hoping for a simple explanation which might relieve you of the pain of rejection if it ultimately proves he is not attracted to you in that way.

    Don't avoid the question or the potential pain. Knowing the answer definitively will far outweigh that in the long term and save you that most precious of things: time.

    i wouldn't want to have physical contact with a girl i been dating for 2 months. I am way too insecure and would just think she is in it for the sex and that's not what I'm looking for. That's my opinion anyways..

    Sense! You're making it!

    There's no reason to jump in the sack right away. I have dated guys that wanted to go slow and get to know me, and they weren't gay nor did they have any 'issues'.

    This is very strange. I can assure you that it's not you because he wouldn't be in a relationship with you if he didn't find you attractive. He might have performance anxiety or ED or some type insecurity about himself and be embarrassed if you found out. I had never heard of such a problem before especially at such a young age. You'll have to have a frank discussion with him to see what's going on.

    Sorry I wasn't on today..was preparing and wait for football day...my Raven's lost :(
    Thank you everyone for your input. To answer some questions...
    He is in shape not overweight at all.
    Both of us had serious relationships recently (me-3 mos ago, him- 1 year ago)
    We are romantic in other situations besides in bed...he likes to kiss me ALOT! Almost too much.
    He does work a full day and can be a kind of stressful day, he wakes up very early.
    We always had romantic feelings for one another even while we were just friends
    I have tried to discuss this concern with him but he gets somewhat defensive at the suggestion that there may be something off with our sexual compatibility.

    1) He watches too much porn and/or masturbates too much (i.e. creates diminished sexual desire for a partner) This is a major problem in our modern culture.


    ^^^^

    I am going to agree with this. I was seeing a young kid from work. I thought (hoped) since he was so young we'd be naked every chance we had. But nope - I was SO disappointed. I attribute it to the above. He would LOVE to "sext" but when it came to the real thing he was MIA.

    i would agree he is insecure or has his own issues. you are adorable, and if he is kissing but that is it, then he either is a watching too much porn, b not able to perform, c not secure in his manhood or size. has absolutely nothing to do with you and if he is not comfortable talking about this issue with you after two months of dating he prob never will be. move on if you want an active sex life. and let me tell you after twenty yrs of great sex it is not something that you want to live without! just sayin' lol
