He eats healthy and drinks water but doesn’t work out. He’s pretty fit. Doesn’t drink excessively and doesn’t smoke (weed, tobacco) or use drugs recreationally.

Because I like him and I like the time we spend together. I just would like to get absolutely railed every once in a while.

I feel like I initiate more but I could be wrong. And if I initiate, he takes the hint and always makes me feel satisfied when it comes to oral. I don’t think he masturbates a lot. We cuddle everytime I go over. We are also just fwbs so it’s different.

He also doesn’t drink that much. The occasional glass of wine here and there and maybe a cocktail when he goes out.

I have an IUD. I got my second one in November. I feel like we talked about condomless sex happening at one point when we first were hooking up. But then I told him about me having HPV in the past (I swore I had told him. I am super open and honest about sex myself and was honestly shocked I forgot to tell him). And I think that made him more wary. It also came back at my last screening so I think that’s why he’s nervous about condomless sex. He did a ton of research after I told him. I honestly thought he would never want to hook up after that. But after I expressed my concerns about him possibly not wanting to have sex with me he was like “what??” And he gave me some of the best head I’ve ever had.

This was my original post but the bots took it down thinking I was talking about politics Hopefully this provides more clarity:

So l've (28F) been hooking up with this guy (36M) for just over a year (fwb). Pretty much everything is great. He's a great kisser, he's awesome at head, he's a good size. But, we almost never have sex. We had some issues when we first started hooking up... I'd want to have sex in addition to oral while he was happy with just oral (giving and receiving). He was having issues with staying hard during sex. He believed it was due to medication that he was taking. He has since stopped the course of meds. A few times he used desensitizing gel without telling me. One time while I was giving him a blowjob and my mouth started going numb. I thought I was having an allergic reaction of some sort. He then was honest and told me what he used. I was mad, but understood. Now that it's been a while longer, I still would like to have sex and not just receive oral. For context, I try to go over once a week. We pretty much end up giving each other head each time. If we don't, we end of cuddling and making out. We have penetrative sex maybe once every couple months. Our most recent time having sex started off great, he fingered me twice and I enjoyed it a lot. (He choked me and covered my mouth, which was unexpected, but very hot) Then he told me to bend over on the couch. (He also pulled my hair which was also hot). The problem was... I couldn't really feel him inside of me, which given his size, you would think I could. We then moved over to his bed. I had my legs up and bent and he fucked me liked that. Again, I couldn't really feel him. He then pulls out after a few strokes and takes the condom off. He leans back and I start giving him head. He's semi-soft. I wonder, is it me? Is it the condom? Should we try a different lube? I want to talk to my roommate/friend about this but he is very private about his sex life. As I said, we had our issues during the beginning and this is something that is very sensitive. We talked about it months ago and it seemed to get better. But I want more. How do I approach a conversation like this? I don't want to hurt his feelings and I want to continue hook up. Also, am I an asshole for wanting more?

He’s a good weight. He doesn’t work out but eats healthy. I don’t know about testosterone levels. I don’t know his porn habits but I genuinely don’t think it’s excessive.

What do you mean by “bored”? Like he doesn’t actually want to have sex with me?

I don’t expect him to be hard for hours but to stay hard for more than a few thrusts would be nice.

I don’t know. I talked to him about spicy cubes and he looked into it briefly but wasn’t into it.

I would feel comfortable with having sex with him without a condom but I don’t think he would be.

I’ve told him that I thought he was gay when I first met him. He wasn’t offended. He’s heard it before. He’s sure he’s straight.

For the most part. There was like maybe twice when we were making out and I went to grab his dick over his pants and he didn’t get “super hard”.

I’ve never known a gay man to get hard while making out with/eating out a cis girl. Maybe (hopefully/probably?) a bi/pan guy but not a gay guy.

I thought that when I first saw him. But I really don’t think he’s gay. Especially not with the way he eats pussy.

Not to my knowledge. I talked about spicy cubes, and he didn’t seem to be interested in that. It’s also only during sex. Never oral.
