/u/blackandwhitepaint on Advice needed on how to approach sex?

This is a little worrying. Sex should add joy to your life, not be a stressful problem to solve.

It's one thing to feel a little insecure when you show no interest in touch but he knows you're asexual, and yet he keeps having these unresolved conversations. Because he wants to wear you down. Which is working: you want to "get it over with". He doesn't seem to care how you feel about it.

You're old enough to know what you like and don't like. If you want to do it to get emotional fulfillment from making him happy, that's fine. But by no means should you feel like it's an obligation.

If you still want to do this, sit down and discuss what you are comfortable with, how far, how fast, what the signs are, etc. Remember that just because you're asexual it doesn't mean your discomfort doesn't matter. It should still be an enjoyable activity for you. If it's a chore, don't do it. Quit midway. It's okay. Also remember that PIV is a very small part of sex and there should be way more physical intimacy before and afterwards. Also, sex isn't just male orgasms. If you want to have an orgasm, instruct your bf how to help you with that, which is why it's important to explore with yourself and know your body first.

Your bf is an adult. He can understand that you care about him in your own way. If he acts like sex is the only way you can prove your love to him, you have a red flag in your hands.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
