I have been in a relationship for almost 8 months now and we have never slept together. I feel like I met my match and couldn’t happier but the no sex thing gets to me. I’ve talked to him about it. He’s been honest and says it’s easier for him to sleep with strangers than with someone he loves, he finds it difficult to separate love and sex. We’ve tried to but he says he has to force it. Then we stop and I feel horrible. I’ve been honest in how I feel. He wants to but it’s an issue. He says not pressure him and he’s making strides. At first, i thought he was giving me excuses but I realize this may be a serious issue. i have talked to him about it but it seems the more i do the more pressure he feels. He is constantly wanting to be with me and is very affectionate but no passion. He is also 37 and I’m 29. My question is how can I handle this without pressuring him and is this a common issue for men?
