Hi there, I think you're being a little insensitive towards your girlfriend. Have you talked to her at all about why she's not comfortable with any sort of sex yet? Perhaps four months of dating is not enough for her before having any sort of sexual relationship. Try not to be confrontational ......

Hi Merie, For the record, that awkward sex happens from time to time, no matter who you are, how many partners you've had, and how many times you've been with said partner. It's okay, and it's completely normal. You aren't doing anything wrong either. Have you told him that while you enjoy being on...

I'm going to assume that when you say "sex" you're talking about vaginal intercourse. If your boyfriend is going to have partners with vaginas who experience pleasure with sex, he's going to have to adjust his way of thinking. Most people with vaginas -- around 70% -- are NOT going to reach orgasm...

See that part where you say you don't know what he wants you to do? When you two had that conversation -- or better still the next day or now, when he's sober, and you can even ask him if he meant what he said in the first place -- your next question would have been exactly that. In other words,...

(Steve's question continued) I feel weird having to rely to masturbation while having her. We've messed around a lot, meaning making-out, I've done almost everything to her breasts, and rubbed her vagina through her clothes with my hand and penis(dry humping), she has played with my penis through my...

Kasey: before I say anything else, let me just say that I'm very sorry this all went down this way for you. You holding back tears while continuing to give someone oral sex (which disturbs me), your husband having intercourse with someone else and you feeling unable to say anything, your feelings of...

So in other words, he's expecting you to suddenly become psychic, right? What your partner is asking for here seems more than a little unfair to me and I'm guessing that's something you're seeing here as well. It doesn't make a lot of sense to tell a partner that we want them to do something for us...

For men or women, sex is over when one or both partners don't want to have it anymore, either because they both feel satisfied with the sex they had, or just because one partner or both, even if the sex didn't result in orgasm, or feel like they wanted it to, just feels done with the whole works and...

You can -- and should, in my book -- talk about this with him in advance if you have this concern. Neither men nor women lack the ability to be sure, when having any kind of sex with a partner, that we are paying just as much attention to them and what they want as we are to ourselves and what we...

Hi there, Depending how long this has been going on for, I think you both need to give yourselves a break. You may have other stressors going on in your life, and now your sex life isn't working out the way it used to ... This is a lot of pressure. And, unfortuneatly, the more you focus on how great...
