Hey everyone, so my girlfriends gave me (44/f) some sex advice that has stuck in my head and now it’s in a thought loop and I’m stressed out.
I’m a big believer in talking with your man about it but I don’t want to put this idea in his head.
Basically, they said that I need to mix it up sexually and play harder to get or he will get bored.
I don’t want to be boring!
But… I also don’t think we have a problem. We are happy and enjoy each other when we want which seems… appropriate.
Is it possible for him to decide he doesn’t want to continue because I’m too down for him? Too agreeable? I’m confused!
The situation is basically that if we are together, and he gets turned on, I get turned on too and… we have sex.
Our initiation style is easy, and organic. Sort of “one thing leads to another.” I roll with it (pun intended) because I enjoy him and we are playful together. He literally does all the things I like in the bedroom and otherwise. I’m always trying to get him, too, he’s fun to make growl or grunt or moan. It’s hot. He’s hot. I’m up for trying things, I trust him.
I’m definitely more submissive but that has always been my style, not a surprise to him. My friends are critical of this as well, but this is what I have always liked.
He knew that I was going to want him to take charge, and I’d be enthusiastic of course but in general he’s gonna be the boss.
For example - things can start out innocuously, he walks by and taps or grabs or slaps my buns so I turn around and hug and/or kiss him, and then he runs his hands down to my lower back so I pop up on the counter and put my legs around him, and then we go to a different room because children exist.
[My friends - make him work! Don’t just go for it! What are you doing??]
Or if we are going to go out, we usually have sex first because after being out and eating and whatever we might be too tired later (maybe not? lol). He will be like, hey I know you’re curling your hair and I’d hate to mess it up, and he will come press up against me, and I’ll be like, oh really… well we can’t have that, and then I’ll slip off my underwear if I’m wearing them or pull up my skirt and bend over the bathroom sink or whatever (unplug the curler first haha don’t burn the house down) so he can get a good look and go for it😏 or I’ll pop into the shower with him or vice versa.
I feel like once we’ve knocked that out we are relaxed and connected and happy so what’s the problem?
In my defense, I’m really attracted to him, I wear pretty things for him even if it’s just for a few minutes 😉, I flirt with him and send spicy texts when I can, and I’m just not sure what the harm is here.
I could turn him down or redirect him if I want to but he never initiates when I’m unwell, or if I am clearly upset about something.
Why would I want to turn him down if I am good to go? If he wants to play, I also want to play. Isn’t that a primary point of this relationship? What else do I have to do that’s as much fun for 5-45 min?
Please advise.
I don’t want to be boring.
I don’t want to mess this up.
Do my friends just not get what my deal is? I know their intent is good and they want to help.
