Or is this absolutely batshit (sex life related)

NC long term person.

DP (42) and I (36) been together 4 years. Live together. No kids between us (one each). I have high stress job (main breadwinner) DP runs own business pretty chilled most of the time.

Anyway…always enjoyed a good varied sex life, frequent as in 3/4 times a week, more if we have time (free house etc)

Lately he has started to guilt trip me about our ‘lack of sex’ ‘sexless relationship’. At first told him outright this was rubbish. But he insists we used to have sex more (not to my knowledge in fact was less when we only see each other once or twice a week before cohabiting), now it’s literally 2 days after we have sex he starts on about ‘when we get our sex life back’ like it’s been months.

More than that, the extra fun stuff we enjoy dressing up etc is now starting to become something he expects ‘to come home from work to’, apparently I don’t put enough effort or creativity into sex ‘like you used to’. Again rubbish but also has to have some understanding I have a life outside of standing in my knickers at the door waiting for him.

come to the crux of it today and he says ‘I feel like I should be able to ask for whatever I want and get it, I should be able to touch you within reason (and reason was if I was ill) and you should want it’

all of this coupled with, ‘you rejecting me damages my self esteem, I do anything you want sexually to keep you, I get pain in my balls if I don’t cum’.

baffled as to where all this is coming from. I have told him his is a huge turn off and he told me that if it’s such a turn off ‘expressing my (his) needs’ then it isn’t a ‘safe relationship’

He denies any porn use, never had reason to suspect (especially given healthy sex life).

are we suddenly massively not sexually compatible or is he being unreasonable!?!

It is controlling, and coercive.
He sees you as meat, not as a woman he feels love and respect for.

You are bending yourself out of shape trying to understand him, which is very common with women with low self esteem.

Your focus should be on yourself and asking why you have tolerated such disrespect for you and your body?

Why you thought a whiney sex pest was good enough from the beginning, when he so clearly showed you exactly who he was.

Focus on you, not him.

Www.freedomprogramme.co.uk this would be a good idea.

It didn’t do the photo but the actual message, word for word says;

‘Please just give me a cumshot and let taste your cum. I’m starting to feel a bit testy/angry xxxxxx’

I have just left the house for work.

This is horrendous, wtf is wrong with him, thinking this is in any way acceptable behaviour.

Tulipsanddandelions · 16/04/2026 13:44

Not disagreeing but what makes you think this is controlling?

It's controlling because he's using it to emotionally manipulate you and gaslight you and because he is suggesting that he should be able to dictate when you have sex and what you do with him when you do, regardless of whether you want it or not. He's doing this when you're at work, ffs - he's using sex to demand your attention constantly and then he accuses you of not fancying him any more when you don't want it. He's basically using sex as a weapon to force you to constantly placate and reassure him.

Also the 'my balls are aching' thing is utter drivel. Men only experience discomfort like that if they experience very prolonged arousal (ie, arousal to the point of having an erection) without ejaculation, and the ache goes when arousal subsides. They don't get ballache just from not ejaculating every day. If his body genuinely needed to 'release' semen, he'd most likely have wet dreams.

Honestly, OP - and I'm speaking here as a woman with a really high sex drive who likes a lot of sex - this man is a total cunt.

Feeling desired is great. Having desire used a stick to beat you with is not.

TittyGajillions · 17/04/2026 12:12

For the love of God tell him to literally go fuck himself, it's sexual harassment at this point. He sees you as nothing more than a sex doll, a receptacle for his shudder cum.

Avocadotoasted · 17/04/2026 12:13

Instant vomit. Utterly grim.

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 17/04/2026 11:58

Yes, and the fact that he's mentioned feeling 'angry' feels like an escalation to me. To me, that screams "If you don't have sex with me, I can't be responsible for my actions" which is the reddest of red flags.

The entitlement to use of your body and objectification of you is off the charts there. That's extreme misogyny and frankly, a rapist mindset in a nutshell.

It's all about him. He doesn't recognize that you're a human being with body autonomy and can say no to him. You're a hole available any time he wants.

I'd break up simply because that mindset is not going to be present in a healthy and mutual relationship.

It's no surprise he's become sexually coercive and gaslighting. Is he on red pill forums?

I'm going to second this OP. You are just a hole to him, a means to an end.

He is sexually and emotionally abusing you right now so you aren't as strong as you think. Be very, very careful if you decide to stay with him.

I disagree (and work as an editor, so am pretty familiar with the idiosyncracies of AI!). Some people just have intelligent and pithy ways of posting.

@Beachtastic Yeah, I write and edit for a living, and I don't think that was AI either.

Daffodillz · 17/04/2026 12:22

Is couples counselling an option? He's living in some kind of cock-centric fantasy land. Please tell him how disgusted it makes you feel.

Ovasaurus · 17/04/2026 12:22

Read up on sexual coercion.
Utterly grim man

Mintchocs · 17/04/2026 12:24

Oh God the stuff he is saying is scummy and revolting. Dump him OP honestly this is classic manosphere shite where you are an inferior person (women) just there to service his sexual needs.

And btw I used to be a nurse and no it is not a scientific concept that a mans balls hurt if he doesnt ejaculate for a while... i mean, christs sake!!

Also he sounds like hes hedging round the consent issue in a way that gets my red flags waving.

Why on earth would anyone want to even try couples counselling with that?

Couples counselling is for people who have issues that can be worked through, not for people who see their partner as an object to spunk on.

He's barely human, let alone someone who should be in a relationship.

Because OP says it's something that has started happening lately and hasn't been a theme throughout the entirety of their relationship. Could help to find out what's going on with him.

It doesn't matter when it started. Its still how he see's her now. He's an absolutely appalling person, the fact that he's managed to hide that until recently doesn't make his any less disgusting.

Dozer · 17/04/2026 12:32

Cheated on past partners.
4 years is his longest relationship.
Pressuring you about sex.
Making numerous statements that suggest he has sexist, entitled attitudes. His behaviour is sexist and potentially co-ercive

It’d be irresponsible to continue this relationship when you have DC.

Having a DD and step DD and claiming to believe in equality etc don’t mean he’s not sexist and entitled: his actions show he is.

TheHouse · 17/04/2026 12:34

Yeah, I've just said the same thing to myself. It's escalating.

OP will now be responsible for him being angry. It's a step or two away from ''you made me do it,,,,'' vibes...

Godrabbit · 17/04/2026 12:39

If my husband started saying things like this, I'd think he was having some sort of break with reality and we would be on our way to the GP... assuming he isn't having some sort of episode mental illness, he'd be out on his arse. Instantly. Get some self respect, OP, you deserve pretty much LITERALLY ANYONE compared to this.

Tulipsanddandelions · 16/04/2026 13:31

It’s the constant dribble of ‘well work will be harder today’

‘why is that darling?’

‘well, my balls are getting painful’

‘oh are they? we had sex 2 days ago so that’s unusual maybe get that checked out’

‘it’s nothing health related, it’s because I need to cum, I get frustrated when I don’t cum, why are you making it weird but talking about doctors when I just need the woman I love to let me cum when I need to’

christ

How does it feel being his sex toy?

You know exactly where you belong in his life

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 17/04/2026 12:51

I’ve read everything you’ve posted and I started off thinking he was actually lucky (every two days!) and he was unrealistic to think he was being hard done by. As I kept reading, I thought he seemed more and more immature and irritating. But now I’m at the end I’m honestly wondering how you’d get past the absolute icky entitlement of all of this. It’s proper sex pest behaviour but the word ‘angry’ to me is so worrying that I don’t think I could summon up enthusiasm to sleep with a man after he said that. Angry?! At not getting daily sex on demand? What’s he planning to do about that anger? Absolutely awful behaviour from him. The screenshot is revolting. You aren’t a sex doll, you’re a person.
