So my boyfriend and I have known each other a very very long time. Before dating, we were friends for four years. He’s a very caring but also paranoid and anxious person. I’m okay with this, as I love him for the way he is, and I can understand how he feels. I really love this man, and he absolutely respects my wishes.

Recently we started having sex, but the thing is he’s kind of anxious to do anything different in the bedroom. This is because I’m the first person he’s done things with. Of course the sex is AMAZING, And I have asked him what he’d be interested in trying or doing, but every time I suggest something he shoots me down. It’s taking a toll on our intimate life together. How do I help him or support him in this situation?
