DP sexual punishment or am I boring?

Long term DP relationship is good and we’re planning to buy a house together soon. He’s been away dog sitting for the last 2 weeks which has made me feel a bit distant from him and I’m not the best with messaging. But basically he came over yesterday after seeing me on Friday.

I was naked in a towel when he came as I was out the shower and he was on the bed wanting a cuddle which I wasn’t keen for (wanted to get dressed) he playfully pulled me onto him which was fine and we were laughing he was touching me but then my towel was slipping too much and he was getting a good look at my body but I felt self conscious so started to struggle he then grabbed under my legs so I panicked and twisted but the way he held me meant I had to twist so my bottom half went straight to his face!!! You can imagine my panic as was stark naked and I saw him get a good look.

I felt really embarrassed and upset especially because about a week or 2 ago a similar thing happened where I’d been without underwear under my dress (hot day) and all fine playing joking but then he ended up tipping me onto a chair and lifting my legs up so again when I panicked and tried to get free I twisted off the chair and ended up him holding me legs akimbo naked!! I had told
him I’m not ok with this.

so I said to him quite clearly do not do that again if you do then we’re done which I was a bit rash saying but I was upset and felt humiliated to be honest. I said I’m not cuddling you for the rest of the day (half joking but I didn’t want him to touch me) Well he then went into a bit of a strop with me and said I’d annoyed him. We had a nice day but he refused to cuddle or kiss me - he said as punishment for what I’d said, which I did want as I’ve hardly seen him and wanted to feel close.

when he went back to dog sitting he messaged saying how I’d turned him down and lost out today on sex as well. He’s meant to be coming back to mine today and I didn’t want it hanging over us so I said well I can make up for it. He said how? I was busy and don’t like sexting (didn’t have any ideas tbh!) so I tried to be vague sort of we’ll see.

he then said I would have to make up for what I’d done before he would come back! I said I hope you’re not being serious and he said deadly serious! I said well you’re not giving any ideas he then sent me a list of options including a video of how much I love him and saying sorry for being silly, various nudes, a voice note all the reasons I love him or the special option which was a video of me undressing! He said if I did that he’d come and sleep with me and be forgiven.

  1. he is well aware ive neves been comfortable sending nudes.
  2. I didn’t even want sex at that point.

I said im not comfortable doing that and he said what any of it? He said he just wanted a bit of fun and I said it’s not fun for me being pressured into doing things I don’t want to do. His last message was that he never pressured me.

situation now is neither of us have messaged each other. I’m worried am I boring and have I been unfair? Should I have tried to be a bit fun? But also I feel like the ‘punishment’ was options of further humiliation for me and I would not have enjoyed them I don’t like sending nudes certainly not videos I find it degrading.

Did he move into your house? If so it's time for him to move back out.

theonlyonestillawake · 20/07/2026 15:55

Some of the posters on here have a disgusting view of consent. You could flash him daily for 10 years, but the minute you say no, he should stop. He held you in a position he knew would humiliate you. And then asked you to "make it up to him" by doing something else he knew would make you feel uncomfortable. It's absolutely gross

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 20/07/2026 15:55

I mean what kind of man pushes boundaries, then gets angry and sulky and then demands all kinds of sexual favours for being in the wrong and making the woman he is supposed to love feel uncomfortable and scared?

He's a total cunt and yet he thinks YOU should make it up to HIM?

Good god, I want to dump him myself and I don't even KNOW him!

Daschy16 · 20/07/2026 15:54

Growlybear83 · 20/07/2026 15:22

how is a position like that any different from having oral sex?

Because it is clearly different! At one time you are in the mood and consenting. The other time, you aren't. Just because you are happy with something once or in one situation, doesn't mean you have to be in all cases. Surely this is basic consent, unless I am missing something?

YourWinter · 20/07/2026 15:54

Dump this freak, block and delete. He’ll still be abusive, controlling, selfish and disrespectful, but you don’t have be his latest victim.

pinkyredrose · 20/07/2026 15:50

he then said I would have to make up for what I’d done before he would come back! I said I hope you’re not being serious and he said deadly serious!

This is chilling. Please don't buy a house with him, your life will be hell.

Alittlefrustrated · 20/07/2026 15:31

If this is real - dump him OP.
On a tangent - I've never once thought "Oh it's a hot day, I won't wear knickers" 🤣

On a tangent, I hardly ever wear knickers unless I absolutely have to 🤦‍♀️🤣
Especially in the summer!
I get too hot otherwise and also, when I need to pee, I don’t get much warning so knickers just get in the way 🤣
(I make sure that I’m decent and I keep my bits and bobs very clean! 🧼 💯)

Wishihadanalgorithm · 20/07/2026 15:50

I don’t know why PP are so bothered and focused on the OP being naked and not liking it.

OP’s preferences are hers and not up for debate.

The issue is, the OP’s partner is controlling and
sounds like a creep.

The first response (as is quite usual) nails it.

OP, this man is creepy and I really wouldn’t be sending him nudes or sexting him - there’s no way you 100% know he won’t share them.

We’ve been living together for about 9 months and usually we have a good sex life if anything usually he’s less interested than me?! But I feel like his respect for me has slipped a bit like another example is a couple of weeks ago he wanted to ‘finish’ on my face. I was really super clear saying no I do not want that. We had sex and he tried to do it anyway I stopped him and said no I don’t want that he then went in a major mood and next day said I wasn’t thoughtful about him. He claimed it was linked to me asking him to drive us somewhere but I felt like it was coincidental after not letting him cum
on me like if id let him do that he’d have been fine. And yes of course this is real!

Porn star sex
No, just no!!!!!!

Goodiebagh · 20/07/2026 15:49

Good men do not behave this way OP

Wishesandhorses · 20/07/2026 15:48

Good grief. The hills are that way >>>>

There are much nicer men to be with OP. Go and do some browsing.

This is really, really not okay. He sounds like slowly trying to tear down your boundaries.

Swerve his dick towards his face and see how he likes it. The nerve, honestly.

BirthdayTrash · 20/07/2026 15:20

So he did it 2 weeks ago and you

said to him quite clearly do not do that again if you do then we’re done

And now he has done it again. So you’re done, right? Because otherwise what you’re saying is that when you draw a boundary, he is free to cross it, because you don’t mean it.

I'm afraid this is the end of the road OP

You laid a really clear boundary and he ignored it because he thinks he can push you into doing what he wants

He's not a nice man.

I’ve put on some weight due to stress which has made me a bit self conscious about my body recently he’s seen me naked and without makeup plenty of times

Why not leave off relationships for a while and possibly consider counselling for your feelings of low self worth and concern over your body? These may be symptoms of deeper worries.

Please do not have anything more to do with this man. You seem to be in quite a muddle in a way, and not seeing the wood for the trees. You also do not seem at all compatible anyway. That is quite apart from him being awful.

diabolicalbanana · 20/07/2026 15:44

Thank you for the reassurance and advice from helpful posters

He wouldn’t share them?? Are you really sure he wouldn’t?
Because seeing that he is quite keen on punishing you, I can see him doing that because he KNOWS it woukd deeply upset you.

Do not trust him

He’s the type to have hidden cameras.

He sounds like he is building up to restraining OP during sex too. He sounds super grim…crazy to allow someone who confines you, crushes your wishes any part of your life

Yanbu op. He sounds like he's starting to be abusive. I have no idea why some PPs are getting bogged down with what positions you should and should be comfortable with.

The bottom line is you aren't and he is trampling all over your boundaries and got you second guessing yourself.

Please don't buy a house with this guy. He will never put you first and will just wear you down with his demands which will become increasingly pervy.

He is not a good man and this is not a good relationship.

mounjaroatlast · 20/07/2026 15:41

Some PP don't seem to understand that a woman can still be shy about her body or have hang ups despite living and having sex with someone. A lot of women don't give or receive oral sex. There is nothing wrong with that.

The thing that matters is that she set her boundaries and he ignored them. Now she has to perform in some way, in order to win back his approval. This is the thing end of the wedge and if you give in OP, it will only get worse with his power games.

You do need to end this relationship, kick him out or find somewhere else to live, depending on your situation.

Do not buy a house with this sex pest.

I had forgotten about that in the OP.

Please, please don’t do this.

ImImmortalNowBabyDoll · 20/07/2026 15:40

MrsTerryPratchett · 20/07/2026 15:27

@Growlybear83 and @ImImmortalNowBabyDoll do you think women should have consent and boundaries? At all? Or do you believe the rape myth that because you consented to something in one context, you have to consent at all times?

Absolutely not and I've said that OP should LTB. Why would you even accuse me of that? You clearly didn't read my posts properly.

titchy · 20/07/2026 15:40

How on earth do you end up apologising when someone sexually assaults you? Bin the fucker right now.

KnowledgeableAvocado · 20/07/2026 15:39

SkaterGrrrrl · 20/07/2026 15:39

Run a mile OP. You can do better x

Whatbloodysummer · 20/07/2026 15:38

So you're asking whether anyone else would be upset that their partner ignored their wishes, despite being told previously about how much you hate the exact same physical action, and continued regardless and then demanded nude pix as payment before he'd speak to you again?

Just read that back to yourself OP.

He's a totally abusive neanderthal who couldn't give a flying f**k about your feelings, just as long as his sexual fantasies are catered to immediately.

I wouldn't buy a fucking Wendy House with the prick !

ohnowhat · 20/07/2026 15:37

That kind of physical playing is not for me, but I know some couples like it.
I do think you are a bit odd being worried about him seeing you naked though.
You are not on the same page about these things and you both seem a bit childish to be honest.
