To have gotten the ick?

Been on four dates with a man, enjoyed our dates and becoming more and more attracted to him. He's 34 and I'm 30, we both have a child each.

Last night the conversation turned sexual over texts and he told me that he struggles to get hard and often doesn't come. He said that we can use other means like tongue and fingers though.

In my experience, men that have this problem so young are either using drugs or too much porn.

It's obviously worked in the past as he has a child, so wouldn't the obvious thing be to look at what has happened since then and sort it rather than just declaring that his dick doesn't work.

I feel bad but it's just given me the ick, I can't really be bothered dealing with anything like that. I would like a normal sex life.

AIBU?

Nope chuck him back. I also have experienced this and you're right, generally too many drugs and/or porn. You are also correct that you can't just say 'that's that and I'm never going to do anything about it' if you want a relationship.

Get out now before you get too attached.

Definitely chuck him back.
I had a brief relationship with someone suffering from death grip and it was utterly miserable.

Yuk.
and you are VU to have ‘gotten’ anything.

That's just an annoying comment.

Could be psychological?
but if you don’t want to deal with that, it’s entirely your prerogative. I wouldn’t.

I admire his honesty, tho

And they say romance is dead

Go with your gut. Life is too short for bad sex.

Necrotic · 07/05/2023 08:03

Ewww no I’d never contact him again, who can be arsed with that

No, Chuck him back. You’re too young for all of that. And it sounds like he just wants a BJ.
