Hey everyone!
I got into my first relationship which seems to be long lasting. We’ve been together for 7 months and this a record for me. Thing are pretty good and I love her and give as much as I can. I take her on a date every week at least once, I always let her talk and only try to solve her problems or give advice if she asks and we meet a lot when she always receives my full attention. I am 23 and she is 20.
The thing I want to ask is something I think is pretty common out there. The only thing that gives us a bit of pain is the fact that I want more sex than she does. I guess this is pretty common, however it is starting to get to a point where it starts to become a problem. I know that biologically this is understandable since guys are coded to want to have as much sex as they can while women are more on the “lets build a nest and raise kids” side of things and I understand this. However whenever she rejects my advances on her I feel a bit of rejection on the inside and a lot of times when this happens I get generally sad, like I’m not good enough or I’m not doing my best as a man. I know that is is stupid, however I feel this way.
So my question is that for anyone out there who stuggled with this in their past and managed to solve it somehow. How did you guys solved this, or at lest made the best out of something like this? I love this girl and I don’t want to hurt her so that every time this happens she will feel like she rejected me. How did you solve this?
Thanks for the answers in advance. You people are all awesome and I love you all!

The only solution is to talk to her about it… and how it makes you feel and come to a conclusion together and agree on a solution. This is something you should talk to her. It may be that she is not very attracted to you or maybe she has her views on sex or maybe she just doesn’t feel the need to do it as often as you want, you’re just different here. The best way to find a solution about something regarding your relationship is to talk to her about it !
July 12, 2017 at 10:47 pm #157854CsabaParticipantNo matter how I try to pull it out of her, she can’t say anything, I tried for 3 hours the last time and I’m getting tired and I’m full of anxiety all the time. I honestly don’t know what to. Everything is perfect except the sex and I don’t want to lose something like this because of it, but I can’t take this anymore and slowly I’m losing attraction for her because of this. A lot of her relationships ended because of this and I don’t know how to make her more attracted to me or have a better sexual drive. Please help I don’t know what to do.
July 12, 2017 at 11:13 pm #157856coconutParticipantWhat do you mean she can’t say anything? She doesn’t know why she’s like this, she doesn’t have any reason to tell you or she doesn’t want to talk about it?
July 12, 2017 at 11:21 pm #157858coconutParticipantYou need to understand it’s not about what you can do, it’s not something you can do, it’s just the way she is, because you said she was like this in the past, so it’s not really about what you can do. All you can do is talk to her kindly and understand her points of view…I think that if you really care about someone you would try to resolve the issues in your relatiomship by talking honestly and saying kindly everything that is on your mind.

Coconut and I agree, and I feel confident in saying that many others agree, that women don’t always want less sex than men. The amount of sex that a man or woman want, or don’t want, is an individual thing. As I ponder your post, I get a sense that the relationship you want with the woman you love is based on what you want-sex. To base a relationship on sex as much as you do is pretty shallow in that by doing so, you miss some very important aspects of a persons life that makes them who they are. I have a feeling that she is very well aware of this too, thus her rejection of your advances. There is after all, so much more to a person than sex. When you said, “Thing are pretty good,” and then said, “however it is starting to get to a point where it starts to become a problem.” contributes to being antagonistic in the development of a relationship. When you said, ” it is starting to get to a point where it starts to become a problem” maybe her not wanting as much sex as you want/need, was not a problem for her, but it is for you, and I think has been, and now by not accepting/rejecting your advances it is easily understandable that she may feel that your problem is now hers, which is not right my friend. Her wants/needs MUST be respected. She has reasons that to her are very valid. What you said, “I’m not doing my best as a man” is true BECAUSE by not respecting her reasons for wanting less sex than you and placing more importance of what YOU want makes her an object. Women are not objects. Women are smart. Fact of life. You hit the nail right on the head when you said, “The only thing that gives us a bit of pain is the fact that I want more sex than she does.” It is what YOU want that that is causing “us a bit of pain” with the operative word being “us.” When you said, “…while women are more on the “lets build a nest and raise kids” side of things…” followed by the adverb”however”, it is the “however” that attempts to negate her perspective. It’s like saying “yes but” which to me, often times means “I see what you’re saying but my input is more important.” I read her saying “I don’t want sex right now or tomorrow” and you answer with “yes but I do” in so many words.
Take a step back my friend, and think about your approach. Take into consideration of what it is that other people want and not just yours simply because you believe that “…guys are coded to want to have as much sex as they can…”. To answer your question of “How did you solve this?” there was nothing for me to solve as there was never a problem because I did and to this very minute do respect what woman want. It is an easy thing to do my friend. My thoughts may seem harsh and not very sympathetic to you, and may not be what you are looking for. It is just that my words are from my heart of which I will never apologize for. It’s sort of that tough love kind of thing. I really do look forward to your input.
I wish you the very best as you pursue the journey of your life. Take care my friend.
Pearce
