My boyfriend (29M) and I (25F) have a pretty vanilla sex life (mostly missionary), which I’ve been fine with. But from the beginning, he mentioned that other positions were painful for him. I’ve never had this issue with past partners (not to compare but to indicate my lack of knowledge on this), and our lack of communication around it makes me anxious. Lately, even missionary has become uncomfortable for him at times.
I want to bring this up and have an open conversation, but I'd like to come prepared with some possible solutions or suggestions. Has anyone dealt with this before?
For context: I’ve noticed he’s more sensitive than my past partners, and when erect, his penis points straight up almost parallel with his stomach, which may have cause discomfort in some positions. I sometimes experience tightness, but fingering and lube usually help, though he seems hesitant about using lube when I suggest it.
