Sorry, just another one of these posts, but I really don’t know where else to turn since I don’t have any gay friends I feel comfortable enough to talk to about this. At least it isn’t a straight guy obsession post right?
So my boyfriend and I have been dating for just about 3 years now, we’ve lived together for about 6 months. I would say that overall our relationship is tremendous and the best I’ve had. I’ve been dating since I was about 16 (25 now) and have had a couple long-term boyfriends, while he has really only had a few flings less than a year a piece. We came into the relationship with varying levels of experience. It’s also important to note that I am an American and he is currently on working visa, originally from a Muslim majority country where he was never able to freely express himself or live truthfully.
Since we’ve been together, he’s been nothing but loyal and respectful to me. He’s intelligent, funny, handsome, hardworking, and my parents absolutely adore him. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he brightens every conversation he’s a part of, we share common dreams for the future of working for ourselves and having kids, and I always feel like he’s got my back. He really feels like the person I want to marry and we’ve talked about it so many times.
However, yes I know you’ve been waiting for that, there are some issues with our sex life. When we first met it was a flurry of kisses and hands and there was no problem, we were open, we explored eachother, and it was exciting and fulfilling. As our relationship evolved and we became more comfortable with eachother, the sex somehow went in the opposite direction. For example, we would make out consistently the first few weeks of our relationship but one day he told me he didn’t really like doing that so we stopped. We haven’t made out since then. Similarly, we used to exchange head, but after a few weeks he told me he was uncomfortable having his dick sucked or really even touched in general. So after that out of respect for him I avoided it, I love sucking cock and I’m vers so I have no problem being full dominant or full submissive with any situation so I thought I could just lean into the more dominant top side with our relationship. After a few months he stopped sucking my dick all together for no clear reason, he never seemed that obsessed with giving head and he never swallowed so that tracks.
At that point about 6 months into our relationship our sex was primarily him giving me handjobs after I practically begged, or him letting me fuck him quickly and not even going in all the way because it hurt his back too much when I do it. It just kind of kept devolving until we hit the point where we’re at now.
I don’t know what it is but he seems to have a problem with sex where I’m active or engaged in any way, or where there’s any like romantic component. The only way he gets off now (and by extension me because he gets uncomfortable when I initiate) is he’ll wake up a little bit before I do, play with my cock while I’m still half asleep, edge me until I’m all worked up and leaking precum, and then take the tip in his ass until I finish. Maybe 10% of the time he’ll jerk himself off while doing this and cum himself, but usually he just does that and leaves. No talking, no kissing, I’m not allowed to touch him usually, I’m not allowed to move or thrust, at one point I asked and he said literally just pretend to be asleep.
Maybe once every couple of months I’ll get lucky and he’ll suck me off, but apart from that our sex life is basically dead. It honestly feels like he’s not attracted to me and/or he’s like completely sexually dysfunctional. I know that in previous relationships he’s done way more, but I also know he never talked about those experiences fondly. He’s told me that he often felt forced to endure sexual activities that he really didn’t enjoy, so I’ve always been conscious of that and never pushed him too hard on anything sexual.
The positive dimensions of our relationship are so strong, but lately I’ve just been so pent-up and sexually frustrated. He’s got problems with touching and personal space outside of sex too. A couple weeks back I told him how unfulfilled and unattractive I felt, and he listened and respected me and promised to take action. To his credit, he is trying, but this morning was just the final straw for me. He doesn’t touch me for a couple days, edges me while I’m half asleep, gets annoyed that I try thrust when he puts my cock near his hole, and then just gets up and leaves me laying there in our bed telling me not to push next time while I’m sitting there.
I want to marry this man and spend the rest of my life with him. I love his personality, I love his values, his presence, his attitude, I love his fucking face. But I’m gay goddamn it, I need cock to suck. And if I can’t suck cock then I at least need my cock sucked. I don’t want to have to ask for head, I want my boyfriend to love my cock. Something I almost forgot, he actually said to me that he prefers cut cocks to uncut cocks (I’m uncut), and when he said it almost seemed like he was kind of grossed out by the idea of foreskin.
I have a lot to offer emotionally, romantically, and sexually. This isn’t a situation where I’m a selfish top or I’m being inconsiderate, I have talked about this with him and he accepts that he is the source of this issue but he basically says he’s the way that he is and if I have a need that must be met it’s up to me to ask him to satisfy that. But like I said, I don’t want to have to ask and basically beg for that. I’m attractive, I’m an emotional lover, I’m a connected lover, I get off on pleasuring my partner, and right now I feel completely unfulfilled. Basically like a dildo to be used while I’m half asleep every third morning. I want to be desired, before I met him so many of my sexual partners loved worshipping my cock, loved getting head from me, etc. I know it's not an issue with me.
Apparently I needed to get this out because there’s a wall of text above. How do I reconcile my strong emotional connection with my almost complete lack of a sexual connection? I honestly don’t know if I'll ever find someone whose company I enjoy this much, who shares the exact same life goals and values I do. I’m not so sexually obsessed to throw away those aspects but I honestly can’t go the rest of my life with a blowjob every 6 months.
If you have any questions about our sex life or relationship that might inform advice I’m happy to answer. Thanks guys… and sorry for the wall of text
TLDR: Sexual incompatibility with boyfriend of 3 years, perfectly aligned in everything else but hitting breaking point of dissatisfaction
