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.

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

Thank you for the reassurance and advice from helpful posters

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Goodiebagh · 20/07/2026 15:49

Good men do not behave this way OP

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

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.

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! 🧼 💯)

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

pinkyredrose · 20/07/2026 15:56

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

ChiefCookandBottlewasher7 · 20/07/2026 15:56

Pervert, dump him.

RareJoker · 20/07/2026 15:56

diabolicalbanana · 20/07/2026 15:08

Yes because he’s made it known for a long time that he would love me to send him nudes and I’ve held firm on that. And it felt like he took this as an opportunity to try and get what he wants without thinking of me being happy to do it because I told him that when I’d said about making up for it I’d meant in person

Make up for what? You didn’t do anything wrong ffs! He should be making things up to you for being a controlling, sexually aggressive creep who doesn’t respect your boundaries. Please, grow a backbone.
The only thing you are being unreasonable about is not immediately showing him the door.

Stop apologising!! He’s an arsehole and it will only get worse. Leave him now , before it becomes your whole life.

MrsTerryPratchett · 20/07/2026 15:05

Going off on a shitty tangent.

Women are allowed to chose WHEN and IF a man sees them. FFS.

Of course they are but it struck me as odd too
I'm not saying he's entitled to her body but I found it strange that she's self conscious around him
But having read on further I wouldn't want to be with him in the first place

lazyarse123 · 20/07/2026 16:04

I would get rid he's awful. You don't need to justify to anybody why you don't like what he did. For what it's worth i am very conscious of my body (fat) and hate even having my legs on show it doesn't bother my dh but he knows it bothers me so is respectful.

Growlybear83 · 20/07/2026 15:22

It really doesn't matter what you would be happy with - OP didn't consent to that activity but he took no notice of her demand to stop and then belittled her right to refuse something she didn't feel comfortable with. In my book that makes him an untrustworthy pervy prick. No woman - or man - should be coerced into something they don't want to do in that moment regardless of what they have consented to previously. No one had a right to any sort of sexual activity unless consent is freely given.

wordler · 20/07/2026 16:05

DO NOT send this man any nude images or videos of you.

Shhhhitsmagic · 20/07/2026 16:05

1 - He's a sex pest
2 - He's manipulative and controlling
3 - He's testing your boundaries
4 - Do NOT buy a house with him!!
