Too Conservative in Sex
Okay, so my boyfriend and I have not slept together since I was about 10 weeks along (I'm 25 now). Multiple reasons- we conceived three days into our relationship (we had known each other for 2+ years) and our relationship was pretty much found on physical intimacy. We were fighting a lot and so we decided to refrain from sex so we could actually get to know each other on other levels. Also, I haven't felt beautiful or sexy at all until just recently and my sex drive was NOT existent.
Anyway, we are planning to "be intimate" this evening- I know, weird to plan it. But with it being harder and harder to groom my lady bits, I'm not comfortable being spread open in front of him. He doesn't care at all, but it makes me feel gross. But he is such a freak! And I'm not, at all! I'm super conservative in bed. Give me like, 2 or 3 positions and I'm good. I don't do anal (no way, IN MY OPINION it's just gross and not pleasurable at all. It hurts and is more uncomfortable and painful than anything). But he loves it! And when we talk about it, he sort of has this look on his face that says "yeahhhh kinda sucks she won't do that" and I know he doesn't mean it to hurt my feelings, but it does. It's just not something I'm comfortable with at all and it makes me feel cheap and dirty. He also likes to "see" everything and again, I am just not the person who wants to lay on the bed looking like a whale and have my man look at all my crevices and folds and such. I know that's due to my insecurity and self-confidence, but I almost feel like I'm not "good enough" for him in bed. He never says that or hints to that and he is always loving and kind and such a wonderful man but I can't help to think that I am definitely not the most fun he's ever had in bed. And that is always in the back of my mind.
Any suggestions on how to feel a bit more confident? Or how to overcome this feeling? I am just not really someone who needs sex all the time and I definitely don't need all the bells and whistles. I guess you could say I'm more of a "make love" kind of woman. Please be kind with your remarks. It seems like this feeling has grown even stronger since I've been pregnant.
