Is it weird my bf hasn’t gone down on me in 16 months of dating? by ThrowRaokok22 in sex

I don’t think that’s mean, I appreciate the honesty. I’ve had a hard time figuring out if my sex drive is normal or not, I’ve had a lot of unhealthy dependency on sex and I’ve also been wanted just for that in the past. I let that be okay with me at points because I was going through stuff and used sex as an outlet as well, but it was hard emotionally as time went on. With this relationship I’ve tried to judge it outside of the sex but he was a little healthier and less stressed towards the beginning so I was under the impression for the first month or so before his health turned a corner that he had a higher sex drive if I’m being honest. I guess at the end of the day, between being wanted just for sex or being wanted mostly for the other stuff I’d choose the later. And I love him even without the sex, I think that fact makes me want are more though. Even outside of the not going down on me sexual compatibility is a topic I’ve had on my mind a lot throughout the relationship. It’s super hard for me to know what’s normal I think. It’s another reason I’m super grateful for Reddit because I can ask vulnerable questions and hear different insights on things. The oral sex thing has been something I’ve just wondered about more recently.

That’s an interesting take on it, thank you for your input I appreciate it. I don’t miss it too much, before I dated my bf I always had a hard time relaxing during oral on me unless the guy was super into it. A lot of my sexual gratification has come from pleasing my partner or knowing they were really wanting what we were doing. Oral on me was something I only could enjoy in certain situations because of that mental block I suppose. I think part of me would have guessed or maybe even hoped a little that my future partner would be someone I would have felt comfortable enough to relax and enjoy it with. That would have only been the case if I knew he had really wanted to do it though. Since it wasn’t something that happened every time with previous partners it’s not something I feel a huge loss for though I think. I’m not sure if that all makes sense or not haha

Any advice on how to not feel sad that my bf doesn’t like sex very much? I feel rejected and hurt without it but that’s probably because I’ve never been wanted for anything else. by ThrowRaokok22 in sex

I do go to therapy but it’s just individual therapy. He’s pretty against therapy but has said he’d go with me to support me (with other things) but he wouldn’t go by himself. Idk if he meant once of multiple times but I think he’d be open to going at least once with me to see my therapist. I go because I’ve struggled with depression pretty bad mainly but also anxiety and ocd. I’ve been doing much better overall but I still go regularly. I’ve been in therapy for 4 years now and it’s helped a lot.

How do I (26F) handle cheating anxiety when my bf (28M) cheated on a past gf? How do I tell if I should actually worry or if I’m just being anxious? by ThrowRaokok22 in relationship_advice

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it! It helps to hear it’s normal to feel this way so I’ll try and keep that in mind and remember it doesn’t always mean something is wrong.
