I (22F) recently got into a relationship with my boyfriend (24M). He has a higher libido than me and wants to have sex almost everyday whereas I’m more into doing it just a few times a week. He also wants to go at least 4-5 rounds every-time while I’m mostly done after 2-3 rounds. I’ve tired to match his libido but I’ve realised I stop enjoying myself after I reach my limit.
Another thing that really bothers me is that even after I say no to sex, he’ll try to convince me a few more times before giving up. He is very respectful towards me and has never forced me or done anything to make me feel unsafe but this upsets me a lot because I have PTSD from sexual assault.
I’m not sure how to bring these things up to him. I know it’s a sensitive topic and I don’t want to hurt his feelings or make him feel bad about himself. I am so happy in every other aspect of our relationship but I’m starting to feel like this would be a compatibility issue in the long run and would be the end of our relationship.
I’m ready to make compromises but I’m not sure what they would be. I don’t think I have an abnormally low libido nor do I want him to lower his libido for me. Is there literally any way for this relationship to work?
