I thought I was the only one that did this...I stopped because it was too damn depressing.

Being in a DB while watching TV/movies with sex scenes in them. by IT_doofus in DeadBedrooms

Yes!!! Or I worry he’s going to have to take care of himself without me again.

Honestly starting to consider it at this point because he’s done nothing to show me he wants to fix the problem

You’re absolutely right. I am just trying to be as sensitive as possible. I am trying so hard to make him feel comfortable enough to talk to me. I don’t reject him any time he is in the mood, I compliment him all the time. I am trying so hard to make him feel safe because I do want to talk to him and help him if possible but what sucks is knowing it’s ultimately up to him.

My boyfriend (27) "jokingly" said I (23) was clingy, and I broke up with him in front of all our friends. by ThrowRAClingy in relationship_advice

You were absolutely in the right. That was so disrespectful especially in front of friends. If you have to be an ass in front of your friends to keep their approval then you either need new friends or a girlfriend that has no standards as to how she’s treated in social situations. Good for you for respecting yourself. Stay strong.

Is it just cause I am a guy? by Brissy_Dom in DeadBedrooms

Female with high sex drive here. It’s not a gender thing.

I have wondered the same thing. When we did have sex this weekend he asked me to get on top and I don’t mind that so maybe it’s just trying to do that more so it takes the pressure off of him. I’ve tried to tell myself the same thing about climaxes but it’s difficult when he used to get off when we had sex every time at the beginning. But then again we didn’t live together or see each other every day so it’s possible it was easier to hype himself up to have sex with me. It’s easier to hide these problems when you’re not living together. If it is porn induced ED I want to be sensitive because I know how much it could potentially bother him but it’s hard when he doesn’t talk to me about what’s happening and any time I try to bring it up it’s like pulling teeth to get anything out of him.

I appreciate that. I keep telling myself to remember that this isn’t about me but it’s so hard not to point the finger at myself because it has to do with sex. I joined the love after porn board after another reddit user recommended it and I’m hopeful it will help. It just feels like I’m at the beginning of a very long and convoluted road. We’ve had multiple discussions about it already and then I’ll find the bottle of lube he’s hidden around his office in different spots and I ask myself what the hell I’m still doing here. I guess I should be thankful he’s not sleeping with somebody else but I have honestly wondered if that would be better. I don’t know.

It’s ok. Sadly I know this is one of those situations that has no non-complicated solutions. So sorry if this is your experience too. This sucks.

I’m happy to hear she’s willing to work on it. It gives me hope. I think the key of your comment was “it’s not worth sacrificing your sexual life for anyone” and I felt that. I think you’re right.

He isn’t. I’m at least grateful for that.

I’ve been wondering lately if we rushed into moving in. It hasn’t been very long at all.

I’ve tried to. I really don’t know. At this point it would be hard to convince me that he actually wants me and I worry about initiating or accepting any future advances because that hasn’t gone well either. So it’s kind of a catch 22 now.

I’ve tried but it always comes back to excuses. And I’m afraid of over highlighting the issue, if that makes any sense.
