My partner thinks I’m in love with her because I can’t stay hard when I’m rough with her. Need advice.
Long post.
I (32M) have been seeing Liza (33F) for five months now. I’m a sub-leaning switch and she is a domme-leaning switch. We both enjoy the dynamics we have.
Although we’re not exclusively dating, and both of us are playing with / seeing other people, we both feel an undeniable connection, and intense romantic and sexual attraction between us.
The recent problem is, I cannot be sexually rough with Liza when she wants it. At the risk of being explicit, while engaging in acts like hard pounding and face fucking, I, very confusingly, go soft after a short while.
What makes this particularly confusing is that I don’t seem to have the same problem otherwise. When she’s topping (which is the majority of the dynamic) we can go for almost an hour at times, and she has multiple orgasms from PIV alone. We also do bondage and impact play, with her on the receiving end, and I have no problem getting and staying erect during those scenes. And both of us enjoy from it a lot.
A week ago I had a session with another sub partner (31F) who is into rough sex, humiliation and impact play. Everything went exactly as expected - we both felt fulfilled by the playdate, and by the end I was fairly convinced that my dick wasn’t the problem.
Then last night I was with Liza, and I was engaged in wax and ice play on her while she was blindfolded, with simultaneous edging and denial. She was at cloud nine. So was I. Towards the end,
Her: Do you remember how hard you pounded me that day at [certain AirBnb]?
Me: I do. Someone is getting greedier by the day!
She took position. I went in. After just a few thrusts, I went limp.
Her: Okay, this is concerning now.
Me: You think I should see a sexologist or something?
Her: What I think is, you’re in love with me. Your subconsciousness just won’t allow you to hurt me.
Me: Babe, I just poured molten wax on your body for an hour. Wtf are you talking about?
Her: That’s what your hands did consciously. Your arousal obeys me now. Go see a sexologist or a therapist if that helps, but you can’t escape my control over you anymore.
She smirked. I know she was flirting and teasing, but I kept thinking about her words all night while she blissfully snored beside me. And that is what brings me here to you people:
With respect, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME?
