So this is a problem I've had in pretty much all of my relationships, but only just now am I trying to address it. I recently got a new BF and he's great!
The only problem is that during sex, I have a hard time doing things without being 100% sure he'll like it, which means waiting for him to ask me to do it. This can range from things as benign as a kiss to things like oral or actual sex.
He said he doesn't mind being the one to initiate sex, but would like it for me to just… do things without him having to ask. I legitimately do want to do these things so it's not him pressuring me, I just get paralyzed by the thought of "what if he doesn't like it and rejects me" over and over. How can I overcome these feelings?
