is it possible to be single by choice?
It's possible to make yourself believe that you're single by choice.

Exactly! That's what I said. Hopefully she sees it that way, too. Because it does kind of put pressure on me to orgasm if she expects it all the time. And when that happens, I'll be too busy worrying about orgasm than the "journey" itself.It depends on the girl and her understanding of why a guy could have problems with that.
If she's sexually inexperienced, she may well take it personally.
Honestly the best thing you can do, is let it be clear that it is YOUR problem. Make sure she knows it has nothing to do with her, and that you still enjoy sex even if you don't finish. The less you both focus on the 'ending' the more you can enjoy the 'journey'![]()
Granted, an hour is a friggin long time. My bf maybe takes 30 minutes average, and believe me, I can't go for 30 minutes of intercourse. I'm kind of a fragile flower in that respect.Thanks for that input, Anita. Because I feel like I'm in the same boat. lol And I'm young, so I would think it wouldn't take an hour or two to reach an orgasm. Sometime I don't even reach it, which makes my GF think she's not pleasing me. But she is, which explains why I'm still hard. Hmm
Yeah, tell me about it. lol After 30 minutes, I'm already kind of tired.Granted, an hour is a friggin long time.

Intercourse is sort of the unimaginative default.
If you're both young, your gf still might think it's her "job" to make you orgasm (hint: it's not, and it's not your "job" to make sure she does either), and an hour of trying to help you along is a lot of work. She could be feeling frustrated with that.
We've found something that seems to work for both of us, even though any sexual hijinks will take us at least 30 minutes from start to finish. And then another 30 minutes for cuddling and/or napping.![]()
There have been times where we've been in one position for a while, he's been going at it like a rabbit and obviously waiting for me, but I'm not feeling it right then. I've literally had to tell him to stop so we can try something else. I can imagine how tired he's getting, but he never complains. He's cute.Yeah, tell me about it. lol After 30 minutes, I'm already kind of tired.

Well, of course he wouldn't complain. He's a computer nerd (looks it) and y'alls would joke he was lucky he was getting any at all.Dang.
Well, on the bright side, less worry about pregnancy. So I guess it's all good for now. lol
Of course. Priests are single by choice (and yeah, let's not go there). I think of myself as single by choice, but I date women, but I'm as of yet not exclusive.is it possible to be single by choice?
Another question just popped up. What if an hour or more had passed, and both of you are exhausted, but neither you or your partner had reached orgasm? Would you just stop, or just keep going until the climax?Well, of course he wouldn't complain. He's a computer nerd (looks it) and y'alls would joke he was lucky he was getting any at all.
Yup, gotta think practically! I'm the queen of practicality.![]()
Dang.

An hour without orgasm? You're doing it wrong.![]()

Sometimes it takes me a while even, but if I feel like I'll eventually get there and I'm still having a good time, I can keep going.Another question just popped up.

Yup. Which is why I'm on BC. When I wasn't, we were using condoms every time even though he'd never ejaculated in me. So don't think of it as actual birth control, but just a bonus.Are you saying because your not ejaculating theres less chance of pregnancy, it should be noted that a man still releases sperm even if he does not ejaculate in a 'pre-come'. So i hope your both still using protection.
Just a heads up.![]()
Especially because I've never finished for anyone but myself, so sex isn't all that great for me. Maybe if I had had multiple orgasms in that time, i'd be more inclined to keep going.
You can get away with her level of insanity if you're insanely hot. I know, I've been there personally.
Seriously sometimes the best advice is: be attractive, don't be ugly![]()

Sigh, I don't really know what to tell you.We're going on the second week of no visits. We had a serious talk last night and things seemed fine. And he said he was going to visit today. But now he isn't coming...again...and claims he will tomorrow. I've just about had it. I've straight out told him several times I'm lonely, I miss him, and I want him to come and visit me, but nothing is seeming to change. I may need surgery for God's sake! This is serious and I've told him so!

It's up to you, how much longer you're going to stand this. Think about it - when you get better, you could very well resent him henceforth for ignoring you in your time of need. Do you want to go through a relationship holding something like that over his head? (Hint: it's not very healthy.)
Or go through the relationship knowing that he might very well flake out on you again in a similar situation? Cause that's not very healthy to carry around either, knowing that someone's a fair weather partner. It's like having a semi-deadbeat dad - only there for a good party times, leaves before he needs to express any dam responsibility. That's not being a real parent, the same way Ephraim isn't being a real partner to you.
To be fair, you're not married yet so he could be playing the part of the semi-deadbeat dad and thinking it's perfectly fine for his girlfriend's first relationship. IIRC, you thought of living together, no? Seems like a really good decision to hold off, because when you make the step of living together, guess who your employer is gonna call in case of emergency? Hint: not your mom living in another city.I'm giving him this one last chance to redeem himself tomorrow. If he doesn't come and visit tomorrow as he's promised, that's it. And if the behavior resumes after tomorrow, hasta la vista. It's not like I'm expecting him to drop everything and spend every waking moment at my house taking care of me. I'd just like a little of his time. Because I'd visit him if he were in my place. That's just a fact of relationships. Supporting your significant other through times like this. Like I told him when I chewed him out on the phone tonight, "Why do you think 'in sickness and in health' is in the wedding vows? For ****s and giggles? It's part of what being in a relationship means"

But this kind of stuff DOES come up, even for otherwise healthy young people like us. And expecting the partnership to be more serious than a fair weather relationship and seeing what your partner really feels about it....that's not easy.
Nobody signs up to be the partner of a sick person, unless they're Mother Theresa. But once you're IN a relationship, the expectation is that you help them get better, not make them more upset.
