My bf (24M) and I (25F) have been together for a little over 3 years. We’ve started trying new things during sex it’s been really great. One thing I still struggle with is that I usually cover my mouth/nose with one of my arms during missionary (not necessarily in an awkward way, it’s just kind of resting over that part of my face) but I still look at him and make eye contact. It’s just hard because I don’t want to be so insecure anymore that I feel like I have to cover part of my face in that position, and he doesn’t either. He’s expressed multiple times that he’d like to see more of my face, but he understands too that I’m a little insecure and get nervous at times.
I think my biggest fear is that I’ll make an ugly face and turn him off. I had an experience with an ex in high-school (a long time ago, I know) that made fun of the faces I’d make during sex, so I’ve just been insecure ever since. Does anyone have any advice on how to get over this insecurity?
