Casually Walking:
I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place for this topic, but I feel like it fits best. Please tell me if it goes elsewhere, thank you
I've (23M) been dating my gf (22F) for just a little over a year, and I don't want to lose this
Anyway, not too long ago sex came up, and I've never really been interested in it. Total shocker, I know, active in a fetish site but have no interest on even nudity, let alone sex
My problem comes with her being completely set on never changing for anyone. I'm not interested in sex, but for her, it's a 'requirement' for a healthy relationship. Now I'm expected to change and like/want sex, but she doesn't seem to want to change anything about herself for me. No 'I'll scratch your back, and you mine' or anything
I don't really know what to do because I'm pretty sure I love her, I love spending time with her, but I also despise hypocrisy
I want to talk to her about it, but I don't know how to put it into words without sounding accusatory
What should I do? How should I say it?
Dablublub is right. You need to have a conversation.
Also, please understand that while you may not need to have sex (or even like sex) others do. And it's to varying degrees.
I have a high sex drive. Most people can do it a few times a week and be happy. I need it at least once a day - preferably multiple times a day. And that's just how things are.
My boyfriend, bless him, has a normal sex drive. But we work together and compromise so that way I can be sexually fulfilled and he isn't overwhelm him.
Also, from what you have said, I am not seeing where she did anything wrong. You call her a hypocrite. How was she a hypocrite? You say she isn't changing for you. How do you expect her to change?
I understand you are sex repulsed, but for people who have sex in an intimate relationship, sex isn't transactional. Yes, it feels good. But its also a way to form and strengthen emotional bonds.
You sound like a sex-repulsed asexual. Or at least you sound like most of the other sex-repulsed asexuals that are in my life. Some of them like to participate in kink, but find the whole sex thing to be kinda gross.
It is possible to have a fulfilling romantic life as a sex-repulsed ace, however, it requires you to make your needs and wants known to the other party and both parties need to find a compromise of the other person wants to have sex.
