Relationship physically lacking

[CoconutDip]

I have been in a relationship for about 6 months. There is a lot of emotional intimacy, he tells me a lot how much he likes and cares for me, but the physical side seems a bit lacking. There is a lot of kisses and cuddling, but so far one attempt at sex that didn't eventuate and nothing since.

I don't think I am the problem and he does genuinely seems into me. But I am unsure how to bring it up. Any suggestions?

(both late 30's)

Maybe just ask, if he wants to have sex or is waiting for a reason? If you can talk about it, the relationship will be healthier.

6 months is a long time for only one attempt at sex which didn’t work out. Assume he’s got some kind of problem, so I think it’s worth having a chat about it and what if anything he’s doing about it. For me I couldn’t be in this relationship, as in the early days it should be that you can’t keep your hands off each other so if it’s like this now, god knows how it will be 10yrs down the line. You need to communicate with him about this, I know it’s hard to bring it up but if you are in a relationship important to be honest. It’s a normal thing to want to have sex with your partner and perhaps he’s struggling to raise it and waiting for you. If it’s too hard to raise face to face you could message him to say you’d like to speak to him about it and then you’ve done the hard part of raising it over message then speak face to face

I don’t know how you’ve stayed so long ! One attempt in 6 months ? No wonder he’s so nice to you.

What stopping you raising it ?
maybe he suffers from ED and is feeling embarrassed?
