Hi im hoping some one can help me any advice would be awesome but a ladies advice would big a plus.
My girlfriend keeps getting really hyped up for sex and then changes her mind at the last second, let me explain.
I’m 23 and she’s 21, we’ve been together 4 years and used to have a very active sex life until the last year it went from at least once a day to once a month (no joke) just like that. I’m a boxer in my free time and she’s a yoga instructor so we’re both in really good shape and very active.
She has a habit of getting me really worked up and then just changing her mind last minute. Today for example it being Christmas we went to visit her family, every time we were alone she would passionately kiss me, touch me, even give me quick oral and she would let me do the same to her all whilst telling all the amazing things we’re going to when we get home, needless to say I spent the day watching the clock because I was really looking forward to what she had in store. So we get home the frisky, sexy girlfriend changes, I try to get her in the mood but she just tells me she’s not really up for it and just wants to watch TV.
This happens a lot she’ll send me texts and pictures while I’m at work saying she’s planning all this stuff, I get home and it’s like she never sent any of it, and when I try to instigate something I just get shot down
I’ve tried talking to her about it but I just get told she’s not in the mood but she wants to do more.
I’m not going to go elsewhere and I wouldn’t ever make her do something she didn’t want to or guilt her into it, I just don’t get why she’ll literally spend all day winding me up and teasing me to just go actually I’m not in the mood
Any advice would be great I really love my girlfriend and I really want to get that spark back. Thank you
LeaWow that’s got a be frustrating. It’s quite crappy behaviour IMO. Could it be due to the fact that she perhaps wants it when she can’t have it, then when she can, it puts her off? This is quite strange behaviour. Maybe she wants to try new stuff, or that she doesn’t feel satisfied after sex? Have you tried talking to her about it?
DanYeah I tried talk to her about loads of time, she says she loves the sex and is always able to orgasm and cum (I hope anyway) we used to always be up for trying new things and would pretty much do anything, then suddenly it stopped, she says she wants to have sex more and I still turn her on but when it actually comes it she just doesn’t feel like, she can’t explain it
LeaSo it’s a low libido kinda thing then? Is she on any medication or changed birth control methods at all? All of these things can cause a low libido, so can stress, anxiety or depression. Is she herself in every other aspect?
DanShe’s on the same birth control pill she’s been on for years, she has been pretty stressed lately with work but I didn’t think it was that bad, I just find it odd how she went from pretty much wanting it all day every day to just not really at all and I feel like she is really trying which then makes me feel bad because I feel like she forcing herself to do it for my sake. As I said before he she doesn’t want to do it im not going to push her, but don’t spend hours leading me on, thats just awful
But other than the above our relationship is great, we go out regularly, we have own stuff to do like my boxing and her yoga, we share in each interests all that stuff. It’s just this one thing
AndyIt sounds like you’re doing all the right stuff. The only things I see is that you guys are really young. You’re at that point where you might be on different paths and could be drifting apart. I hope you’re on the same path. lol, What if you did something drastic with your look? Facial hair, hair cut, hair color, clothing, anything. Give her something different. Maybe she needs a slight change in you.
MariaIt is a strange behaviour. My guess, and it is only a guess, she is missing something, trying to get it and it is not happening for her. You are very young and yet been together for a long time, she maybe falling out, not feeling it for you, but trying to keep things as they were before. Do not be a doormat. You can’t force her to do anything she does not want to but you don’t have to put up with this either. And try to spice things up somehow.
T from NYHi Dan
You sound like a caring boyfriend but I have to say your girlfriends behavior to me sounds almost abusive. It is incredibly unkind to work someone you love and care about and who loves and cares about you into a frenzy and then completely douse them over and over. Sure that may happen once in a while – due to circumstances not in a partners control. But to do it repeatedly in my mind is one of three explanations 1) she is having sexual dysfunction and needs to seek therapy to understand not only why she is not up for the actual sex as well as WHY she thinks it’s okay to tease you and not follow through or 2) she is having an affair and is attempting to placate you into thinking things are still hot between you so you don’t suspect but cannot or will not follow through on the actual act or 3) she is a narcissist.
I agree with Maria – of course you don’t want her to do anything she doesn’t want to do but it would be unhealthy for you and your self esteem to not expect her to address this issue as soon as possible.
Best to you
RoseShe’s either playing with your mind in a very cruel way or really wants to please you and since she knows how important it is to you she tries but when it comes to performing she just doesn’t feel like it.
For me that’s a deal breaker, as a woman I enjoy sex as much or even more than a guy.
Maybe you could try to talk to a specialist about it, she could be depressed or something or just bored of having sex with the same person, that happens too.
caetruI would be concerned why her behavior has changed so drastically after 3 years. I agree that it’s crappy behavior for her to tease you and then turn you down later. I can’t imagine the blow to your ego and self esteem being shot down so often. She is definitely going through something and the two of you need to figure out what that is so you can get your sex life back on track.
I know that my “primetime” is between 10a and 5p. Obviously this can’t happen often. It’s just that after dinner then TV it’s getting late and I start feeling tired, I’ll have a dip in my libido. But it’s not enough to keep me from being with my boyfriend at night. I certainly would not turn him down after teasing him.
I wonder what would happen you stopped responding to her teasing? You could kindly let her know that you would like to save it for later when you get home.
jenni smithI’m sorry to say, but it sounds to me like #1 or #2 above. For some reason, I’m leaning towards #2: she is having an affair and is attempting to placate you into thinking things are still hot between you so you don’t suspect but cannot or will not follow through on the actual act). Is she busier at work? Has her schedule changed?
If #1 (sexual dysfunction) what type of sex do you usually have? i know this sounds weird, but maybe try being less polite and understanding? I’m not saying you shouldn’t get her consent, but I remember I had one boyfriend who was constantly checking in with my feelings ALL THE TIME during sex, and at some point it was a turn off :)
but since you guys had good sex for 3 years, it doesn’t seem to me like this is the issue. I think she is probably getting it somehwere else and there is guilt involved, which is making her siimultaneously give you attention while not actually wanting sex.
:( please keep us posted.
DanThanks for the replies everyone.
I don’t think she is cheating on me, I don’t have any solid proof obviously but she is one of the nicest honest girls I’ve met that’s why I fell for her, my ex was cheating on me and before I actually found out I had this feeling like I could almost sense that something was going but I haven’t felt that well I hope she isn’t cheating on me lol. Other than the sex thing she’s still really loving towards me and generally happy
What kind of sex did we have? We tried about just about everything, we’ve also been up trying and doing new things
One of the things she does say is she struggles getting wet, during foreplay she’s fine but if the actual sex goes on to long she gets dry and it feels uncomfortable, I’ve suggested we stop and do more foreplay until she feels better but by that point she just doesn’t want to and she’ll just finish me off and be done. She says I still turn her on and she is enjoying it, she just gets dry
LaneHi Dan.
Getting dry during sex is common among women when sex goes on for too long (its the friction) so you will either need to speed it up a bit, or use lubricant. I would also stop allowing her to tease you and just tell her straight up “I just can’t take being teased relentlessly and then you being too tired to follow through, so lets save the foreplay until you’re ready to have sex.”
You could also give her a taste of her own medicine so she can feel and understand what you go through. Sometimes one needs to personally experience it before the light bulb comes on. Wind her up real good, get her super close, and then say “I’m no longer in the mood” and get up and go watch TV.
DanOk so I tired to talk to her, she got really defensive and just told me she is trying and she can’t help it if she’s not in the mood
Then went on to tell me that I’m making her feel bad about it, what’s the best way to start this conversation do you think?
MariaGive her time to think about it. And then try again. She probably feels a little guilty but does not want to admit it.
Start by telling her what you see, that she turns you on and teases you and then withdraws, and that doing it consistently is cruel and even abusive, that’s true. Check to see if she sees things the same way. You would be surprised how often people have completely different understanding of what’s going on. So the first step is to get each other’s perspectives on the same thing.
And then after that, try to listen and understand what bothers her.
Unless the sex goes on for a very long time, dryness means no desire. It can also mean hormonal imbalance, but you are so young and fit, I doubt that is the case.
She maybe falling out of sexual attraction for you. It does happen to women more than we know, not only to men, many women are not monogamous and most of us need to “feel” it for a guy to have fantastic sex.
Anyway, take one step at a time, be careful, sexual issues are very delicate, it is easy to ruin things and very hard to glue them back together.
DanitaAfter reading everything everyone said I have say when it comes to advise I’m not always great at it but thinking from her point of view yes she may be cheating she may not be yes it can be stress and not. Maybe after al these years of dating she likes that she can turn you on and that you still want her eveytime it makes her feel good powerful maybe even. Yes its not right and you should give her a taste of her own medicine but it can be that shes scared maybe working you up she might feel like doing it wil maybe not ne good enought for you like the talks better than the doing. Also can be the reason she gets dry maybe stressing its not good enough? When it comes to talking about it shes going to get upset she’s trying and its just not working, sit next to her stare at her even when she’s watching something els and when she finally cracks tell her how beautiful she looks how lucky you are to have her just kiss her. Dont push for more dont let she push for more just kiss on her head cheacks and lips thats all. Keep telling her you love her and you’ll wait and than just cuddle. I hope it works and that she’s not playing you
HannahMaybe it’s simply what she’s telling you. She gets the urges, wants to do everything she’s talking about at the time but when it comes to it, doesn’t actually want to go through with it. I agree she’s not being fair on you.
I’ve been married 14 years and sex has been sporadic. It can be several times a day at times or not for weeks. That’s down to me and how I feel. It doesn’t mean I don’t love my husband, I’m no longer attracted to him or I’m cheating. It’s simply about the sexual chemistry I’ve had with my husband at the time.
One of the worst things when I haven’t been feeling it is feeling pressure. I know my husband still wants to, I want him to be happy, I don’t want him to get fed up of our relationship. So I have in the back of my mind I “should” be having sex when I don’t feel like it. Instantly it feels like a chore and that’s a massive turn off.
On top of that sex in a relationship can become boring. You can get into a routine about what you do and how you do it.
Remember a woman’s mind is her greatest sexual organ. She needs to really feel it.
In your situation, I’d imagine if shes getting dry she’s getting bored or turned off. She loves you and she’s young so you can talk to her until your blue in the face and she’s unlikely to tell you that. I would never tell my husband when that was happening or me, it would hurt him too much.
She enjoys foreplay but not sex by the sound of it. A lot of women don’t orgasm vaginally so perhaps that’s part of it? Try stimulating her elsewhere while you’re having sex and see if that keeps her wet? Try different positions or a huge amount of foreplay before you get to sex. Get her to talk to you and tell you what is feeling good while you’re going it.
One thing a friend tried was a month with no sex at all. Totally agreed as an experiment. As soon as sex was off the cards, they both really wanted it and the pressure was off her for weeks. They couldn’t keep their hands off each other by the end of the month!
I think she needs a few positive sexual experiences with you and she’ll be back into it.
DanHi Hannah thats an amazing answer and very well though out as well, to be fair everyones answers have been very helpful, I honestly don’t think she’s cheating on me she not that kind of girl but I think what you are saying about her mind being the greatest sexual organ holds a lot of weight, I try not put pressure and reassure her it’s of as much as I can that I don’t mind not having sex.
I do have some good news though I’m nt sure if it ties into what people have been saying about the sexual attraction or not but my boxing club holds a few charity fights on boxing day, I had fight earlier (why I haven’t been on much today), Sarah came to watch me fight, usually im quite reserved and despite being in a good condition and shape I don’t like going topless in public something i’ve had ever since my very over-weight days. But I forgot my shirt today so I had to fight topless. She really seemed to like seeing me in the ring like this, and she loved watching me fight because it was a tough fight the other guy was bigger and stronger than me but I won in the third round.
I didn’t know how into it she was until we got home and she was all over me pretty much as soon as we walked through door, she asked me to be more rough and aggressive with her like how I was when I was fighting (which I’m not normally like that during sex) and we had some amazing sex it felt just like how it used to. I know this probably isn’t going to be the complete fix im looking for but its a step in the right direction I think, maybe seeing me in a new light helped bring something back?
what do you think?
HannahDan that’s great news!
I can only go on my experience being quite a bit older than you and having spoken to a lot of my married friends who have gone through dry patches in their sex lives at one point or another!
If you both had a good time, keep up the momentum! You can fall out of the habit of having sex for one thing.
She’s showed you what she enjoys so keep doing it. It sounds like she likes a man who takes control and is a bit rough. That’s not unusual but can be difficult for men. They have someone they love and who wants to be treated in a nice, respectful way all day. But the bedroom is different! For me, there’s nothing more exciting than a man being a man in that situation. It’s nice to feel that testosterone and the passion flowing.
Keep encouraging her to tell you what she likes. Tell her during sex how attracted you are to her, how much you’re enjoying yourself. That will feed her mind as well as her body.
BkSo this is funny because I am dealing with this same thing with this girl that Ive only known for 2 weeks. However shes been hinting, even full on stating literally, that she wants to have sex and all these things, but when I went back to her place 2 times she was always “tired”, not feeling good, etc. Like I’m not a mean guy, and I totally respect that she wasnt in the mood anymore, so I will just end up leaving blue balled af, but the way she kept building up the idea of us fu**ing lead me to believe and expect sex. She would say things like her pussy was really tight and that she enjoyed oral and asked if I liked giving, etc. Etc. Really personal (sorry) stuff yet excessive just go give u an idea, and made me think she full on wanted it. She also masterbated on video call for me, as well as sending me many multiple nude pics. She would then hint on having me come over that night or another night to do it, and then when I get there she will just act weird and not want to do “it”. This has happened twice and both times I got really annoyed by it. The first time it happened I mentioned to her that I didnt like ppl who stringed ppl along, and if that’s what she was doing then I wouldnt have liked that. She apologized and said she wasnt trying to and then said that we should do it that night and asked me to come over but I didnt. To me it does feel like a attention thing, because I know she isnt seeing somebody else, and we are not exclusively together, and she wants me to be with her. She did end up doing it again and I left the house pretty bummed out and not in a good mood. She noticed again and we did talk a little about it the next day (today) and then she blamed “woman issues” for her being distant when we were together.
Reading this made me feel better (well. Not for ur situation, and hope it has gotten better), knowing that girls do do this.i do like the advice from the one user saying I should pull the same thing on her. That’s something I’d love to try :) give them a taste of their own medicine. She did come on strong but in my case I think it was more to grab my attention and get me to be with her and like her more while not really giving it up as she implies.
I am rejecting all of her proposals and come-ons now, and shes keeps feeling bad and confused. Like I feel like saying, “bi***, u know what u did, and what you’re doing.” Lol
Anyway this didnt really help you but it felt relieving to get this off my chest :) hopefully this helps out another stranger
