Should I feel bad for wanting sex?
So my boyfriend and I have been together for about 10 months. I have a very high sex drive, higher than any partner I've had. But recently, my boyfriend has expressed that me touching him and being suggestive so often makes him feel bad. I guess when he just isn't feeling it, I look really disappointed and it hurts him.
The thing is, I AM disappointed, and I feel like that should be an acceptable reaction. I know it's not about me, but I still feel rejected.
Am I wrong? Is that disappointment unfair? I try to hide it, but I want to be able to feel my feelings. I guess I don't know how to address this, because I feel forced to hide my needs to make him feel better.
I know for a fact it is neither an age or romance issue. We do have sex, but only about once a week or so.
Also, not sure what was meant by a "typical girl"? One that doesn't want sex at all?

He feels less like a man "should" feel when he is not in the mood. There is a lot of social pressures on guys to want to have sex all the time. If they do not, then they feel like losers.
He might also feel self conscious about himself, not ready, or other insecurities. Maybe he has a low drive and does not want to be embarrassed.
Girls who are understanding/ willing to wait are good people.
But I see where you are coming from, because you have needs. Do not feel bad about your wants and feelings, but be sensitive to his.

You two need to talk about it and come to some agreement.
If there is no compromise position then you might want to start looking for a new boyfriend.. one with a higher sex drive.
But more than likely if you tone yourself down a bit and he agrees to a higher level of intimacy then there will be a level at which you are both happy.
Also, you would be surprised at the number of women who 'cheat' on their spouse for this very reason.. society tells women that it's not socially acceptable to be aroused, so they act on their desires in secret.

amen to women with high sex drives haha. Yes I have had that issue in the past with an ex where he always turned me down if he wasnt in the mood and it made me feel like I wasn't attractive enough (even though that was not his intention) But I think for you, maybe you should go to a counselor because it seems like your sex drive might be abnormal and linked to your past and feelings of rejection, etc.
What I have come to realize is that I often turn down things that my man wants to and he doesnt take it personally. You just need to not make it personal and just know that all men are different and he obviously shows love in OTHER ways. For him, he may be more emotional and that is his "intimacy" with you, whereas you connect through physical

No you shouldn't feel bad that high sex drive is normal! 10 months is definitely long enough I have a 6 month rule but Gina you shouldn't feel bad at all!!!!!!! He should realize that being in a relationship he should be pleasing you and not making you feel bad about wanting! Honestly you shouldn't be in a relationship where someone makes you feel bad about natural things!!! I hope he comes to his senses :] <3 good luck!

Are you saying you're not having any sex with this guy or that you're just not getting it enough? If you're not getting it at all, then maybe it's because of being too young, maybe, and he knows it? If you are getting some sex but not enough, maybe it's just his way and that what he gets is enough to satisfy him. The touching and feeling things may be a sensitivity matter and he feels you're too clingy, maybe? You need to talk about it with him to try and reach a happy medium on this.

I wouldn't call it unfair, But if he isn't in the mood then he just isn't up to it. But try to make him in the mood, Make him want you. But if he is rejecting you often then there's something wrong with the relationship. If that is how you feel and this continues then tell him, It will be better to tell him than to ask us.

yes im sorry he is rejecting you --- at his age he should have a higher sex drive than you ---- you should not feel bad its normal ---- his reaction shows he is not very considerate or caring --- maybe you should look at your entire relationship and decide if its what you want
