i have a long term partner, and we have been having less sex, but i am trying to gauge exactly how i feel before i start the conversation.
i find that i am a person who is okay with having a lot of sex and can be turned on easily, but at the same time i am fine going long periods of time without sex, and if it really came down to it and my partner could no longer have sex i would be okay with that as long as we had other physical intimacy (cuddling, kissing, stuff like that)
i think the reason i feel bad about not having sex is more due to me having anxiety, especially anxiety around feeling wanted (definitely a personal issue don’t worry i’ve seen people about it). although masturbation and sex are very different and i do really enjoy the intimacy that comes with sex, i am okay if i cant have it.
