When sex is an issue

Just that really. Been involved with someone for 6 months off and on. Distance between us meant not being able to agree to a proper relationship but we tried to keep it going because we really liked each other. Once or twice issues of sexual compatibility would come up. He claimed sex with a condom was rubbish but I was aware he might be sleeping with others so was not prepared to do it without one. The last time we saw each other he stopped midway and said ours would have to be a platonic love because it just did not work in the bedroom. This has flawed me completely because afterwards he was still acting like we were together and talked of our next meeting like it was completely normal. I've been left feeling broken because I've tried moving on from him and just haven't felt any attraction to anyone else. Now I feel like sex is going to be a huge issue in any new relationship too and I just don't know how to process this. I feel like I need therapy or something but the immediate issue is how do I leave things with him? Has anyone been in this situation and pursued a sexless relationship accepting that you'll both try to get your kicks elsewhere? I don't want to lose him completely because apart from that one issue everything else has been great.

He's into degregation, I would consider that extreme porn. If that's not your thing wave him goodbye X

@spacecadet a lady can never be too wet. Before you dump him tell him his cock was too small and you could hardly feel him 😉

Block and move on, it sounds like it’s all about what he likes.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I hear you all and I recognise the sense you're all talking. This latest episode has actually made it easier for me to walk away because I can tell myself there's nothing at the end of this. He is who he is and it's all about him. Cutting all contact is oddly still difficult because I don't want the drama, I'd rather just have a slow fade. Anyway that's the path I'm on now!

OP you don’t deserve such rubbish treatment from a man who is so selfish and cruel. Try valuing yourself much more, you don’t have to settle for that.

So - he has a problem with sex. Can't perform with a condom, which is clearly essential in this situation.

And you are left feeling that it is YOU who has the problem! I don't think so!
