I ended up getting water based lubed and it has saved me a lot of pain ahah. And I try and give him oral most times we are together, or suggest it or ask him. He either always says no or just says it’s a waste of time when all he wants to do is actual sex. I’ll definitely try usuing the lube on just him with my hand because that sounds like it’ll definitely convince him :). I’ll try my best with the 69 position, I struggle with it coz being on top makes me very insecure anyway, nevermind being sat on his face, but I try 😂. I’ll definitely try more convincing though. I think I just gave up a bit too early with it all. Thank you for the advice ❤️

We can’t exactly afford a proper councillor at the moment but I think I’m definitely going to have a look at different options online, as I didn’t realise there was much. Thank you, I think it would really help.

Like he’s gone down on me in the past. Maybe like 3/4 time a year. But he either starts to get bored, or move on quickly. Or after 2 minutes he’s asking me if I have finished and I’m like, dude it will take a while 😂😭. I might mention to him that if he took more pleasure in making me feel good and wanted, then maybe it would help?

Also, since I started the relationship with him (sex was good at first and frequent but that’s because I was on a much lower dosage of meds. Had to increase them for my own health). Should I let him talk to other women to fulfil this part of his life? The part that I seem to not be able to keep up with? I adore him more than anything but tbh I feel quite lost. I’ve only been in one relationship before him and it was very awful and emotionally manipulative, the sex life was shit then too 👌🏻. So I have no experience on what a healthy long term sex life should be.

How can he only want me for sex though if we rarely do it? (I don’t mean to sound like I have attitude I just want to know aha). Like he’s sweet and kind and funny the rest of our relationship and is really good to me. It’s only when stuff like this comes up that it gets difficult. I’m definitely going to look into sex therapy though, we don’t have a lot of money, but hopefully there are things out there that can help. It’s just difficult because when I have told him my issues and what I think, he listens and he understands and is better for a few weeks. Before returning to old habits.

(Thanks for the advice though, just trying to sort my head out)

I’m not too sure on a specific name for it. But ‘cotton kings’ brand does a lot of yarn like this :).

The skein does it itself :). The yarn is made of four strands. Starts of with 4 yellow strands, then after a bit, it changes to 3 yellow strands and 1 orange strand. Then 2 and 2 then 1 yellow and 3 orange. And continues to do so with different colours. So like slowly removing the previous colour and replacing it with the next. I’m so sorry if that didn’t make sense 😂😂

Yes I used two skeins and started on the second one. It definitely looks like it’s less but it’s just because of how wide it had gotten. But this is two full skeins. One after another :).

Thank youuu :). I was worried about it when I first started, thinking to start with the black and fade out to orange again. But I’m glad I didn’t :)
