Is it odd to touch your partner during sex but feel a bit weird about it?
I heard a few men on this sub talk about how touch is important to them. I’m not a very vocal or animated person at all, so I tried touching my ex partner with my hands because it was the first thing that occurred to me. But he would sorta raise his eyebrows at me, or give me like a tight lipped smile and look away, or wear a blank stare and look away and keep thrusting during sex. So I’m not sure if this was normal or not?

I think it would indeed be a bit more normal and natural to visually and verbally respond positively to being touched. Especially during cowgirl, I run my hands all over my girlfriend’s body. Breasts, hips, waist, even squeezing her booty. She likes it of course!
I don’t know what the blank stare or whatever is all about. Maybe he just has different preferences, maybe he’s a little neuroatypical, maybe he just somehow was raised to think sex is more mechanical and less touchy? I wouldn’t say it’s the norm though, to the degree there is a norm it’s probably closer to reacting positively to touch during sex.
