I had been in a relationship with a female partner. Part of the reason was an unrelenting expectation of sex. Morning and night. Definitely daily. More often than not, not quickies, but very long involved episodes sometimes lasting hours.
If it didn’t happen for a couple of days, my partner would become very snappy and generally disagreeable. I would often initiate sex to smooth the wheels of a happy home (partner didn’t want to initiate all the time).
I then reached a point I couldn’t do it anymore. It left me with an ongoing feeling that I had unwittingly found myself in a traditional unequal straight relationship, where I am the partner pressured to have sex on demand. I had always very strongly wanted to avoid this type of dynamic.
The constant pressure simmering under the surface all the time left me anxious and unhappy. Even the thought of the sights sounds or scents actively turns me off now.
8 months have passed and I still feel like I would be fine if I never had sex ever again. And I don’t seem to be too bothered that I have completely lost my drive. It seems to be stone dead. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible for one person to put you off sex for life?
