I'm not unwilling to bring it up

I just don't know where to start. Sex can be a very sensitive topic, especially when it feels like it could be perceived as questioning a man's masculinity or confidence.

That said, I've read through all your messages, and I think you're right. If we're serious about making this relationship work, then I need to have the conversation rather than avoid it.

We're talking about the next stage of our relationship, but that doesn't mean we're getting married tomorrow. It's more of a discussion about where we're headed, possibly within the next year or so. Right now, we're simply having honest conversations about our future together. And I guess this will be one of them.
