    Generally speaking, I’m not really a shy person. But, when it comes to sex, I have a really tough time letting go of my inhibitions. I am embarrassed to show that I am enjoying sex. Probably a bit self-conscious as well. I was never really aware that this was a problem until a few weeks ago when my boyfriend of 5 months told me that he feels we have a sexual disconnect. He thinks that I don’t enjoy sex with him because I “show no emotion”. This is seriously threatening our relationship because he truly feels that he can’t please me and will never be what I need. He is adamant that this is the problem and I haven’t been able to convince him that it isn’t him, it’s me. I have been too embarrassed to even tell him that I have this issue. He is heartbroken about it and this has really hurt him and his self-confidence…and it isn’t even true! I am wildly attracted to him and he just doesn’t beleive me when I tell him this now. I don’t know what to do or how to fix this. I have attempted to talk to him, but he gets hostile and thinks I am making things up now just because I wan’t to save the realtionship. Just to clarify, we are very much in love, but he is devastated and says he just doesn’t know where to go from here. Help!

    Don’t talk to him about your self-consciousness and inhibitions in bed — he doesn’t want to hear about it. All he wants to know is that he’s pleasing you! 😀 Women make the mistake of thinking their boyfriends are their girlfriends. Guys don’t want to know everything. If you have a problem, they want to fix it, and if they can’t fix it, they’re going to feel inadequate — so don’t bring it up!

    Next, understand that men like women who enjoy sex. Men want to feel like they’re great at it, and the way they feel that they’re great at it is if they’re pleasing you. If you can’t show him that in bed, he’s going to feel badly about himself, about you and about the two of you together. So, overcome your feelings about yourself, and focus more on him, and on letting go and enjoying yourself.

    Figure out what you’re self-conscious about, specifically, and then work on that so you’re not. If you need to lose weight, and that’s making you feel self-conscious, then lose the weight! If you don’t like a body part, understand that he likes your body parts! In fact, he wants more of you, not less.
