Is it a turnoff when a girl brings up sex first?

So I've been dating my boyfriend for about six months. We're both pretty shy, but him even more than me. I knew that he would never bring it up so a couple days ago I just went for it and started asking him questions and talking about how far I would go and stuff. After that I was worried that maybe I kind of freaked him out by being the first to bring it up and being so open. Is that like a bad thing or something?

  • Sometimes the guy is too shy to bring it up because he might think that you're gonna think bad of him so he doesn't. This was the case with me! Me and my boyfriend were dating for a month at that time and I found it kinda weird he hadn't bought up anything sexual (like making out) at that point because it was my first relationship and I've always heard that guys think about sex a lot and everything. So I just did it subtly. I was like "how did you learn about sex" LMAO LAME I KNOW but how else could I bring it up without sounding kinda like a whore since it was only a month into the relationship. So that kinda sparked up a conversation and I'm glad I did it because I think he was trying to be a gentlemen and not bring anything up but 8 months into the relationship we're always talking about sex and it's fun! So I'm guessing it's a turn on for guys because when is talking about sex ever a turn off? I was so worried I freaked him out too just like you but trust me in a couple of months he's gonna not even be embarassed to tell you he's horny. Actually after the first told him we didn't talk about sex a lot until I sent him a picture (I trust him). That actually got him more comfortable talking about sex because I guess he saw that I was open about it. Sometimes the girl has to do the stuff first.

  • well considering he's a shy person, I think bringing it up yourself was a good idea. Just throw the idea out there and see how he responds. I'd give him... maybe a week until he decides to REALLY respond to your question. Either that's him bringing it up again or consider the idea to take the "extra step".

    The key to shy guys is to be patient with these kinds of things. They need their "bubble" to think to themselves about things like this.

  • Not a turn off. It's great. If he's shy maybe you spooked him I don't know either way the ball is in his court now its up to him to deliver the goods or run like shaggy and scooby

  • Nope, turn on.

    • very detailed answer, as well as helpful. Way to earn those xper points, ya d***.

    • You've obviously not been on here back when I posted more often... I used to write essays, but it's approaching 3am and me writing a paragraph would only be an over hyperbolic extension of these three words.

  • For me, it is a huge turn-on. These types of things should be openly discussed and communicated in a relationship.

  • I think its a turn on for sure. Shows that your comfortable with your sexuality.

  • No, it's a turn on for most guys.

  • It's a big turn on.
