Asking for sexual things.

Does anyone else find it really difficult asking for things of a sexual nature?

Like you get in a room with someone and they ask "what would you like me to do?"

I'd just say nothing because I find it soooooo awkward.

Infact, I always take the lead to avoid the situation occurring. But then the question pops up and again I will say nothing, lets just chill.

Its not even just people I meet in this swinger world. I've been married 11 years and still find it awkward asking me wife lol.

Is it just me that feels this way?

Pleaseeeee tell me I'm not alone....

I wouldn't say its only sexial things. Sometimes asking for what I want can be hard. Not awkward as such, its more about a fear of asking for too much.

You're not alone

There is a lot to be said for navigating someones body & mind sexually with things other than words

Those that want to verbally instruct or be instructed are not a sexual match for me

I suspect you're not alone and it's not unusual, but if I'm being truthful - I don't think I've ever experienced this, assuming that I've correctly understood your post.

In the bedroom I just take the lead and spontaneity comes to the fore, things happen, it can be a bit goofy as we both find ourselves immersed in the moment, exploring ourselves and wondering if we have an agenda when we actually don't...and we just let things transpire on their own accord.

As I said, I'm not sure if I've understood your question.

I'd say I'm relieved that its not just me, but actually...I'm sorry its not just me, because its a horrible feeling.

When you're discussing things before a meet over message....I'm ok that. But get me in a room and I lose my ability to ask.

We all need to work on this!!!

I really appreciate everyone taking the time and telling me their opinions.

I don't get how it would be like that? If you're with someone and you like each other does it not just progress naturally? Do we need a check list of things to do?

Its hard to explain, but here goes.

Things can just naturally happen and thats like a perfect scenario.

But sometimes for example, lets say I've made someone cum and then she ask what I'd like her to do in return.....thats what i find difficult.

Where as if that other person doesn't ask, because she knows what she wants to do....happy days.

I just cant direct someone whilst in the moment.

I hope that makes some sense?

I think you’d find it interesting to explore this with a clinical psychologist or psychodynamic therapist. Being genuine by the way.

I think you're extremely lucky to have so many people asking you what you want. A lot of guys struggle to get a meet so it seems like you're doing something right. Maybe get the questions out of the way before you meet so you don't feel awkward in these situations 🤷‍♀️

In my opinion I'd be more concerned that you and your wife of 11 years still need to ask each other what you like sexually. Do you not already know this?

This used to be awkward for me but I got over it by starting off small and building up

When that question was asked my response was pretty much the same until confidence grew and the fear of getting a no!! Subsided.

We all have an idea of what we'd like our partner to do but have a fear of expressing it either getting rejected or having that judgemental look..

I started with

Q:What would you like me to do ?

A: I want you to explain in intricate detail how you'd like me to pleasure you! As youre explaining ill be doing.

Did that a few times until I was comfortable giving my own instruction..

Hope that helps 😊😊

Me and the wife know exactly what we like. But, to set a scene....your having a chilled evening and you'd just like blowjob.....and asking for it should be easy. But its not easy.....luckily she can read me incredibly well.

I appreciate your comments though.

Yes, I agree that should be easy. If I was sitting with a partner I'd have no problem telling him what I needed in that moment

Paper Town Central, Essex.

Start by telling them just one thing you like. Not what you want,

Then it's their turn to tell you one thing they like.

And then back to you etc....

It's a great ice breaker and you'll find commonality and totally avoid the awkwardness.

Don't ask for, let it be given freely. You'll enjoy it more if there's no pressure.

Is it the the sexual act itself that you feel uncomfortable asking for OP, or giving any direction at all? If it’s the sexual act, rather than saying ‘I want you to give me a blow job’, you could you try something like ‘I want you to take me in your mouth’ or ‘I want to go down on you’ could be ‘I want to see how good you taste’ etc.

I love that you're reflecting on this.. I promise you will enter a whole new realm of deeper sexual/sensual pleasures if you explore this further with partners who want to.

It's an opportunity to move away from performative sex and towards deeper mutual satisfaction.

Nothing worse than silent, non communicative sex for me .. unless the natural chemistry is physically of the charts and we're in some amazing flow. But even then..I want to acknowledge it at some point.

Its 100% the sexual side that makes me uncomfortable.

My job means I'm constantly giving direction, and I'm fine with that. It's so frustrating.

Really appreciate your response and interesting points.

Without reflection we can't improve.

I prefer them to use intuition. Being asked or having to instruct is the least sexy thing ever. My body is a playground, so crack on and let’s play

I was in a relationship for over 20 years and I never felt comfortable about being truly open with my desires for fear of being thought of as too kinky/weird.

I'm now with a wonderful woman that not only puts my mind at ease about anything kinky, but she eagerly encourages me/us to do explore our deepest desires.

I am a very lucky fella, 😁

You see, thats perfect. I don't need instruction, I know what I'm doing.

Its just very common that people I've met like instruction.....and I find that incredibly awkward.

I'm quite upfront about what I expect from a meet and if we're not compatible, then there's no point in meeting.

In fairness, I have had a few people spring something off script on me when I've been there, but it's generally pretty straightforward to correct them
