Hi there. So I'm 17 and my girlfriend's 16. I'm a virgin (and so is she) I'm eager to try new things and I guess you can say I have a high sex drive since I feel the need to masturbate often/have sexual thoughts about her. My girlfriend in the other hand feels that she's too young/not prepared for a sexual relationship and she's simply not interested in sex at this time of her life. And I TOTALLY respect that. I think that a 16 year old girl has all the rights to deny a sexual relationship at her age, therefore I'm OK with it and its not like I wan't to break up with her because of that. I love her very much.
But even though I respect her decision, I still want it, and it makes me kind of unhappy not being able to have a sexual relationship with someone I really love because I think its something that would make us both happy and improve our relationship.
Its not that I'm not giving importance to our love relationship if you know what I mean. I still value our love more than anything in my life.
Masturbating is not really doing the job for me right now, I need something more, so I want to know stuff like, is there any food I can eat for that matter? Should I change my day to day behavior somehow? Am I giving too much importance to something to the subject?
Please help, all answer are appreciated.
Add info:
- We have been in this relationship for almost 8 months now.
- I'm pretty sure she loves me back as much as I love her.
- She's takes some medicine for her allergies and stomach problems, could that be reducing her sex drive?
- I'm very aware that we are kind of too young to even think of this stuff, but I think that with responsibility and knowledge about the subject, it can be a positive thing.
