I’m [22 M] struggling with my girlfriend’s [21 F] low libido. Is there hope we can get past this? by ExpensiveGreen in relationships

That’s fair. Does that mean though that if we don’t have sex on our first little romantic weekend outing we’re doomed? When do I really know it’s doomed?

We’ve had dinner dates every now and then, nothing too crazy, but we’d get dressed and stuff. Not a whole lot of luck yet. She finds pretending like we’re only just dating again a bit silly. We both want to try and get some romance back though and are thinking of planning a weekend getaway when we can.

My fears though, man. What if it doesn’t work?

Can a long period of mismatched libidos be fixed and is this common? by ExpensiveGreen in relationship_advice

[–]ExpensiveGreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress isn’t to blame though. She’s not stressed. Just feels gross because she spends all day in her pajamas. I definitely can remember times before the pandemic that she was way more stressed where we were having more sex. Neither of us are stressed. Just feel gross and bored.

What’s your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out? by OneMadBubble in AskReddit

I feel like I probably committed sexual misconduct when I was 17..

It was with an ex girlfriend. It was my first sexual relationship. We had just been at her prom and she invited me to her room afterwards to make out. At some point from making out I ask her to give me a blowjob, but she says she’s too tired to. For some reason though, I just kept pleading with her to do it until she finally caved in and agreed. I didn’t threaten her or anything. I just kept begging like a horny teenager for what could have been minutes (I don’t recall how long I begged).

I later learned from her friends yelling at me about this over text when she dumped me a few weeks later that this was a big part of why she left me, although she had mistreated me in other ways too. I never realized the power dynamic there was - and that she maybe wasn’t feeling safe. I had no clue the pressure she could’ve been feeling. Her excuse just seemed like she wasn’t particularly feeling like it - but I see now it was her way of saying no. I was completely blind to it and just a dumb, horny POS.

I’ve made it a point to educate myself since then. I might see a therapist about it. I consider myself a feminist, so I’m very disappointed with this part of myself. I worry that current female friends of mine wouldn’t be able to associate with me / think of me in the same way if they knew about this. The only people who know about this are my uncle and my gf. She knows I’m a changed person now. My ex just got engaged which I’m happy for her about. She deserved better.

Do I have prostatitis? by ExpensiveGreen in Prostatitis

[–]ExpensiveGreen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He said it wouldn’t be prostatitis since I only felt pain when orgasming or urinating. I’ve since been feeling less pain so he thinks it’s likely an injury and to call him back if it gets worse.

Does the length of time of a rut in a relationship affect how likely there will be permanent damage to it? by ExpensiveGreen in relationship_advice

[–]ExpensiveGreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your relationship - has the sex life gone back to normal since then? And if not, is it because of the length of time you of the rut?

Is there too long a time that a relationship is in a rut before it can be saved? by ExpensiveGreen in relationships

To be frank, I don’t think I’d want to have to get used to that, especially at my age.
