We haven’t had sex in 2 1/2 months...
I’m just looking for some advice here, this might be pretty long and personal.
Basically me and my boyfriend (19 & 20) have been together for 8 months now and we started having sex about 3 months into the relationship. I thought that everything seemed pretty great until a little over 2 months ago when we just stopped having sex altogether. Not just penetrative sex but like almost all physical intimacy besides cuddling and a quick kiss. No making out, nothing. My boyfriend has phimosis (google if you don’t know) and this has definitely been affecting his sensitivity during sex, basically he can’t feel a whole lot and has never been able to cum from sex. He also has started a new job about 7 months ago that he really doesn’t like, he works 10 hour days and is always tired. This is also causing him to be pretty depressed, we’ve talked about him going to therapy but nothing has come of that yet. It also doesn’t help that I have never had an orgasm, and so while I’ve told him many times that I really enjoy it regardless, it’s probably also not very encouraging.
I have talked to him multiple times about this and never really got anywhere, I can tell that he feels really bad about it and I really don’t want to pressure him for anything as, for one, I wouldn’t want it to be the other way around, and two, I know it has to do with his phimosis problem and also with his depression and I really don’t want to make him feel worse. Basically what he has told me is that he just doesn’t get very horny lately and that having sex just doesn’t do much for him. And while I’m trying to be understanding, I have a relatively high libido and really cannot deal with just no physical intimacy anymore, it’s making me feel pretty insecure and I really don’t want to start resenting him or anything if this goes on any longer. Should I try and bring it up again even if it’s making him feel bad? Has anyone dealt with these types of problems before?
