My boyfriend (21M) and I (19F) have been dating for almost a year now, and to be honest, there’s not as much physical/sexual intimacy as I’d like. He’s someone who likes taking things slow, since he wants to feel as comfortable as possible with someone before doing anything intimate or sexual (also he’s a virgin). This was clear since the beginning of the relationship, so I respected that and have been really working on getting to know him more so as a romantic partner rather than a sexual one. But, as it gets closer to our one year anniversary, I can’t help but feel like it’s weird we haven’t done much yet besides very occasionally making out with some groping. I think this generally has to do with the comfortability of the subject of sexual topics. We don’t talk about that stuff very often, even though I’d like to. A little part of me feels scared that I’m going to cross some sort of boundary by communicating my wants and needs, and make him uncomfortable. Is there any advice for how to have this kind of conversation in a respectful way that won’t make him feel bad? Or any general advice about how to initiate in the bedroom once you both know it’s something you want?
