Initiating Sex

Backstory: so I’m staying with my boyfriend for the quarantine. I’ve been here for about 2 weeks now and we’ve only had sex once. Which is an issue for me.

Last night he could tell I was upset so I told him what I was thinking and he said he’s been waiting for me to take the initiative because I haven’t a lot.

And I thought I was initiating. We’re just at different stages in our sex lives. He started having sex at 15 (22 now) and I started having sex at 22 (24 now). And we both recognize that maybe there was a little bit of not having the same idea of what was happening. I grew up with the stigma that you don’t talk about sex so I do feel uncomfortable initiating and talking about it. And I’ve done little things that I thought were initiating.

So I was wondering what are some things I can do to be more comfortable initiating and some things that I can do to initiate. And advice you can give is very much appreciated 💙
