Re: IBS and sex (or lack thereof)       04/27/04 07:27 PM Edit Reply Quote KellyAndersson Reged: 03/24/04 Posts: 272 Loc: N.California awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww punkin, sorry to hear that. A couple thoughts. One, you said he feels bad and thinks you don't like him. You both have to get your hands around the idea that this is perfectly totally normal response on the part of a guy. That's part of their charm and part of their curse too. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to convey to him that that is not so. You say he "feels guilty to ask" and that's also perfectly normal classic guy response. Try this: show him how to maybe get there without asking. If he made you a warm bath and put fresh flowers and a couple candles in the bathroom and then took you to bed with a top-to-toe lavender lotion treatment and a nice cup of jasmine tea and a backrub, might you not invite him into bed for a backrub or something? Which may or may not turn into sex but could also be way fun? You say he assumes you'll say you can't. Try surprising him when you do feel like it. You feel like he doesn't understand. He doesn't. He can't. He's a guy. What you both have to do is meet in the middle now and then, or at the outer edges. Make sense? Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
