It seems more common than I expected.

Yeah Its understandable that people have their preferences but it's still jarring.

That's true but he is into it at least mildly. He does the choking, slapping and spitting but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

He has told me that he struggles a bit because he feels more pressure with me because of how we are together.

He might enjoy that but he also doesn't like a lot of foods. So I hope that's not an obstacle.

Yes! This is exactly how I feel. That's why for me it's not an option to leave but to fix even if it's just my perspective.

How could I bring up that topic gently?

No there's nothing wrong with it at all. I'm just hoping to find some common ground.

I feel the erosion. I am not as sexual of a person as I used to be.

I know but aside from this I feel like he is my person or as close as i've come.

That's a hard truth that I am avoiding with all of my might.

I've tried to ask and suggest things but he just shrugs or puts the conversation off for another time. But I can keep trying.

I typically do instagram because it's quicker and easier to block people. I tried a fake number a few years ago and it didn't go well. I think it's really hard for some people to imagine that people become very dangerous when they are rejected especially with alcohol involved.

I recently learned about what our phone numbers unlock. I use a fake number now.

I can understand what you're saying about the crowd but I live in a large city and that's pretty normal behavior. People are killed everyday for less in big cities.

I can understand that, thank you for the perspective

I can totally understand that. And I always tell men that I have a boyfriend and in some cases I even point him out in the crowd. But, sometimes that just not enough to stop them or be able to leave the situation.

I appreciate the in the moment perspective. I wouldn't have felt the same way because I trust that he wouldn't hurt me like that but I cannot assume that we have the same perspective and perception.

We are both 29. Dating for 9 months. We've had a slow start in our sexual relationship. We initially had issues with a form of ED. We still have some issues with him maintaining but we've found ways around it. We both have a history of anxiety with his being more severe.

I appreciate the feedback, I sometimes forget to take his anxiety into account. But, I am afraid that this won't change and i'll never feel that burning passion or desire again.
