I(21f) am struggling to initiate sex with my partner(29m) and I’m not sure why. /u/SeaworthinessHot1050 Sex

For context, my partner and I have been together for a little over 5 months and I wouldn’t say that there is anything particularly wrong with our sex life but we never have sex unless he initiates it or asks, even when i want to. I am definitely the submissive one in our relationship and I love doing things for him, even outside of the bedroom. I find myself being very shy and I feel almost dirty when I say or do sexual things. When he does initiate, I find myself telling him no even when I don’t mean it and it confuses him(understandably so). I guess I’m just asking for advice on how to open up with him more/be more vocal about what I want.

Thanks in advance!
