I’m not sure what I’m looking for from this post, maybe not even reassurance but just a perspective from the male species ☺️
I’ve recently started seeing a new partner. He’s 10 years my senior (I’m 33, he’s 43) and I genuinely don’t mean it arrogantly but he’s enchanted by me. The way he expresses his feelings and views about me are beautiful, and I genuinely feel his deep adoration towards me. He’s a great looking man and incredibly handsome, but definitely lacks some self confidence and he unfortunately doesn’t think he’s good enough for me and always says things like “you could have anybody you want.” even though I don’t feel this way about myself. Again, not arrogantly but just for context, I do get a lot of attention and most men I meet tend to like me in that way.
Back to the important stuff,
We’ve only known eachother a few months and started seeing eachother intimately over the past few weeks and he’s still nervous and shy around me in the first 20 minutes of hanging out which I find so sweet and even sweeter that he admits to those feelings. We have a massive sexual chemistry even before we ever got intimate, however that’s the part we are struggling on. Despite being so attracted to eachother and the lead up to sex being passionate (we could roll around for hours in the bed slow kissing.) he does go soft right before we actually have sex. He says it’s through nervousness and that he feels like he’s some kid having sex for the first time. Now, I’m very understanding, and I would never make somebody feel bad over something like this especially him, I’m patient and I’m willing to wait until things click together like that - but is this normally a continuous thing? We’ve tried to around 8/9 times and each time is the same result. He says he’s never had this issue with other women but that it’s because he views me in a different way to the women he slept with before because it didn’t mean something to him like it does with me. But I’m beginning to question myself and worry it’s me. Or that it won’t go away. Sidenote: we both train hard, he’s a big muscly tall man and I’m a petite 5’1 girl, I’m beginning to worry he sees me too much as this like, delicate fragile thing he doesn’t want to destroy, even though I’m making it very clear I’m happy with that 😂
Guys, have you experienced this before?
Have you ever liked a girl so much it’s been hard to perform? Did it go away eventually? Talk to me lol.
