I (m 30) have had this issue consistent over multiple relationships where once I am dating someone it becomes harder for me to have sex with them.
I have seen situations of people with reduced libidos in relationships but none for it being this situational.
It isn’t to do at all with attraction as my partner is gorgeous and amazing. It isn’t that I have no desire to have sex with them either. The thought of it just fills me with anxiety and stress.
The part that confuses me most though is I don’t feel the same way if I think about sexually engaging with another person. My partner and I will have sex with others and are open to an extent (we have set guidelines for it which we follow). If I am thinking about or engaging in sex with others I feel “normal” without any if the internal turmoil.
It is not because I enjoy sex with others any more than my partner either.
I have always struggled with phimosis which will often make sex painful or unpleasant and can see how that would lead to me feeling anxious about it. But that doesn’t explain why it only happens with partners and no one else.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
