I said ‘no’ to sex for the first time today.

I have a healthy sexual appetite and I have never turned down my partner for sex.... until today.

We saw each other today for a couple of hours after being apart for 4 days and we won’t see each other for another 6 days. We live together so it’s really difficult when we have to be apart for this long due to work and family stuff. We planned on having a quickie today before an event we had to go to, but I just couldn’t get my head in the game at all! I just couldn’t do it. So I said ‘no’ to my partner for the first time ever.

I have felt a bit sad and neglected over the past few days. We have both been so busy that for months we haven’t been able to spend real quality time together. But it’s been especially difficult this week because we’ve both been stressed and our communication wasn’t that great at all... so my love cup is empty.

I tried to explain to my partner about my love cup needing to be filled a little before I’m able to have sex but I just confused him and he was trying to figure out where this damn special cup was 😂 Since then we’ve had a good chat and we are both going to try focus more on each other, even when the rest of our lives get busy.
