My boyfriend would rather masturbate than have sex with me
I decided to join this site just to see what input I can get on this very unusual issue of mine. I have been chronically single my entire life, lots of one night stands or sex buddies. Well all that has changed over the past couple years. I guess you can say I have matured some. Well at any rate I have been with my current boyfriend now for just over two months now. He moved in with me only a couple weeks or so after we got together to get a new start in a new town. We met online and hit it off really quickly. We talked a lot on there and on the phone and the connection transferred over to face to face quite well. Things are progressing quite well and we both have a deep sense of love for each other. Ok... ready for my problem?
The first time he came to visit me we had sex twice the first day he was here. It was intense and quite enjoyable for both of us. As our relationship got more and more developed he told me that he wasn't a very sexual person. That he just doesn't have sex very often at all. I didn't think much of it, just because most guys want it all the time, so I assumed he meant he was more like a twice a week guy. I couldn't be more wrong. We are about at the rate of once a month. He has told me that he would much rather masturbate than have sex, just because he knows what he likes and it's a lot "easier" than having sex. I do not masturbate. I never really have gotten into it and don't really get anything out of it. For me it's the real thing or nothing at all.
He has told me that he has been with quite a few sexual partners, let's just say it made me less embarrassed over my two digit number that still begins with a 1. He told me he has cheated in the past and hurt a lot of good people. My question is basically can you burn yourself out on sex? Or is it possible that his guilt of hurting the women of his past has somewhat jaded the idea of sex?
I personally am quite a hands on person. I love to touch and be touched but it's as though I am to scared to try to instigate anything. I have never been a dominate person and have never really had to be. Can someone please help me with asking him about this or possibly pin pointing where this "problem" is coming from?
