Should I stop having sex with my boyfriend?

I am dating an older man who works as a janitor at the school where I teach. We have known each other for over a year and we began dating four months ago. I share a house with two other roommates and I often go to his house where we watch movies, cook together and talk. We always end up in the bed and before I get home, I am overwhelmed with guilt. I feel that I gave in too soon and that he will eventually get bored and move on to someone else if I don't stop. I have strong feelings for this man, but I have broken all of the rules. If I withhold sex, would I increase my chances of keeping our relationship healthy?

    Why would you feel guilty about having sex?? Im sure ur fine. If he genuinly seems interested in u then there's nothing to worry about. Plus withholding sex after already doing it a bunch might look bad and make him think ur trying to play games with him. But if u really dont want to be doing it then ask him if u guys can go slower when it comes to the physical aspect of the relationship and tell him that ur a lil uncomfortable with it. Hopefully he'll respect ur decision.

    Just hanging back on the sex might be a bad idea; it's a healthy part of a relationship, and you can't take it back anyway. He's probably not going to understand where you're coming from with this.... If you really see a deep relationship with this guy, then talk to him about it. See if he gets where you're coming from, he may bring up a thought you haven't had yet.

    Sex is an important part of a relationship. but remember the part about the RELATIONSHIP...don't try to solve what might be a problem in the relationship on your own. talk to him about it. If you think you two need to slow down, make sure he knows about it.
