Okay so let me start by saying this ... me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years soon to be 3 & we waited a while to have sex w/ each other just our own preferences anywhoo so sex has always been great just not so interesting should i say ... we’ve always been very open and able to tell each other if and when we wanted something new or to kick things up a notch . Recently he brought to my attention that he wanted more talking during sex .. and i let him know i wanted more Foreplay he’s never done the whole talking role playing neither have I so of course i let him know it’s uncomfortable so when we try i end up just laughing or brushing it off so my question is . what do i do ...?
