Girls, you purposely withheld sex from a guy you were in a relationship with despite you really wanting it. True or false?

[Still-alive]

I've heard of women doing this for various reasons. They will withhold the sex despite really wanting it because they still aren't sure about the guy or they think sex gets stale or loses its impact or something. Have you withheld sex from a guy you were in a relationship with despite really desiring it from him?

[Cynicaldreamer]

False- even in my 20s, I was too immature for that nonsense! It just makes your partner resentful- and... hopefully I won't offend any guy by saying this, but all withholding sex does is make most men assume we've lost interest. Or it causes them to find another partner that does want them sexually-

Or maybe that's just me using common sense and growing up with mostly guy friends, lol.

If I'm not sleeping with a guy I'm in a relationship with, it's because I'm probably: tired, not in the mood, on my period, or he did/said something that ruined the mood.

I mean for the first time in the relationship by the way

Withholding is a word only entitled men use.

There are times I have simply decided not to have sex or at once instance stopped early even when I wanted to continue. Usually it's in those times when even if I know that I want it physically I won't be satisfied with having sex in that time or context. Especially in times when I'm feeling deprived of emotional intimacy. But even if that's not the case there are times I desire sex but just don't bring it up to my boyfriend when I know that he is very tired or sleep so I know that even if I brought it up and he agreed to do it even then it might be too draining for him and I'll remain unsatisfied so what's even the point.

Of course it's a problem when you find yourself in this position way too often but sometimes shit just happens when one or both of you are very busy people and just don't have all the time or energy in the world to have mind-blowing sex.

apologies i definitely do not mean to sound entitled. but i was just curious if 'waiting despite feeling it' was something a lot of women do. Regardless though i feel like communication about this stuff early on in a relationship can curb or halt a lot of misunderstandings later on. so i definitely am an advocate for good communication skills.

[CubsterShura]

Oh definitely. For me a physical urge alone isn't enough of a reason to initiate especially when we have other things going on.

I have done it before despite wanting it because of my body insecurity 💔

[petitedollbabee]

I’ve never withheld sex for the purpose of punishment or anger towards a partner, I find it stupid! Though I have purposely withheld sex once before, even though I really wanted it, and that was because I was recovering from a coccyx procedure and my doctor told me I need to hold off on sex until I’ve recovered.

[petitedollbabee]

Oh, no I’ve never done that. My partner & I slept together on our second date, lol.

I'm just here for the results Lol

[Apple1996]

Nah I never withhold sex

[sheenagwapa]

not true when it comes to sex. i really wanted it to happen but i always get chicken out and i wven would feel i'm a failure so when i was able to donit i really pat my back and i celebrate i'm just so happy for some reason.

[Ninania]

No, I've only rejected sex when I wasn't in the mood.
