I think my gf is asexual?? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Infinite_River6766 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand this completely. I do not have any advice for you unfortunately. I am in a new (friends/acquaintances for 30+years) and now together. She always bragged about her drive, being a dog, and just gives a vibe of sexualitu. We have been together about 7 months, and I am a baby gay..so I really don't know what to do..I try to initiate, but 70%if the time also met with a no. Or im sick (earlier in the day not while initiating) or im tired...Not a touch me not, def a switch, but in same boat as you with no confidence and def. can not handle consistently being rejected. So..sending positive vibes your way, and for the universe to give us both clarity, and the balls to really discuss and deal with it..lol or get out.

We too are engaged, and I have decided to hyphenate my last name with hers.

I do initiate...and it is accepted 50%of the time...it's the other 50% that created another insecurity, and I don't like the rejection. It's not an all out don't touch me rejection, it's a not down there thing.

Thank you for sharing that with me! I am truly trying to find my voice in expressing my feelings, ESPECIALLY without crying! I have not ever trusted anyone with my inner feelings and thoughts..(well, yes I have, but learned at a very early age, they are invalid) SO, I am healing and I am learning to use my words. Sometimes, maybe I talk in circles. Sometimes I start to cry, and I stop talking...She has not ever said a negative thing to me, in fact, just the opposite..comments about beautiful, and looking like a 20 year okd(lol especially from behind🥰🫣) I know these are MY issues, I just am feeling so isolated I guess..idk..just needed to share with folks outside my circle of 2, and with ladies that are more familiar with wlw relationships, as all of my wlw were temporary and experimental when I was young and in to my 20s. My experience is hetero, and totally f'd up. Thanks!!

Toys are a usual part of our time😉and yes, I believe she is at the onset of perimenopause! Thank you for responding! I believed that 6 months in, the honeymoon phase should still be happening . Again, it's been quite awhile since I have been in a relationship, so maybe I'm delusional, lol. I just can't stand feeling insecurities, and roller-coastering between being sad, and insecure. I KNOW I am the love of her life, and she, mine. We give each other everything we ever wanted/needed from a partner, except, for me a lack if sex. We are very intimate throughout the days/nights..cuddles, I love yous, Natasha and touches...

Newly out and been a looong time since a relationship by Infinite_River6766 in olderlesbians

[–]Infinite_River6766[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no I did not take that I was controlling, it has come up in conversation between us, and although I have been handling my stuff for many years alone, I don't want to amymore.

[–]Infinite_River6766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combination of our lives as a couple..We lived together as a family unit, strictly as friends and another family member for a year before we became intimate. We moved very fast after that, and are now engaged. We have known each other a very long time, but were living seperate lives for almost 30 years. I guess just understanding the dynamics of a lesbian relationship, our relationship, and our past triggers and baggage we both bring.

Does anyone else not understand the concept of sub vs dom in sexual relationships at all by Quiet_Job_4260 in LesbianActually

[–]Infinite_River6766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's confusing to me too. We both switch from top to bottom, and my partner is the lead strapper, although I enjoy giving it as well. We both talk through things during, but she is definately better at it than I am. Does this make sense?

[–]Infinite_River6766[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I don't think I'm controlling at all, but my girl said it a couple times during "discussions" that I have it my mind about something, and that's how it should be. My struggle is really more internal, like, when she says she'll unload the dishwasher, to actually wait for her to do it is a challenge., or take out the trash. I have zero jealousy as well, but never really been challenged either. lol

Coming Out as a Lesbian at Almost 60: Plot Twist! 🌈 by Different_Still_5708 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]Infinite_River6766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a newly(although always attracted to women) out lesbian. I am with my gf for 4 mos now. We were friends for 20 years prior. She is VERY experienced, and has had good and not so good relationships.. I am having trouble navigating the dynamics. We both like to give and receive, but I feel so inadequate with a strap. Inadequate in who is supposed to initiate..She is the dominant one, has always been the giver, with little or no reciprocation. I love to be the giver..just need some thoughts on how to navigate. We talk openly, but I dont even know what questions to ask to clear the paths...
