20F - My boyfriend (28M) said he’s never having sex with me again because I “can’t handle real sex”. What should I do?
My boyfriend is very rough in bed, I don’t mean like BDSM stuff such as slapping/hitting/choking - I mean he thrusts extremely hard and does little to no foreplay to prepare me for it. It really doesn’t feel good for me. He is pretty large down there and I usually just withstand the pain for his enjoyment, but last time we had sex, I asked him to please go softer and if we can take breaks in between the thrusting to do other stuff.
After this, he told me he’s never having sex with me again because I can’t handle “real sex”. I was upfront and asked him if he’s not interested in accommodating my needs sexually and pleasuring me. He straight up said no, and that he’d rather never have sex again than be less rough and do more foreplay. He said he’s completely fine with us never having sex again and that we can still have a good relationship. This hurts me deeply considering I think sex is an important part of a relationship, especially satisfying sex. He treats me very well outside of the bedroom, better than any man I’ve been with ever has and I don’t wanna throw the baby out with the bath water. I don’t want to leave him, but I also don’t want to be hurt this way. Does anyone have advice for me?
Edit: I decided I will leave him, but im not sure how/when to do it. It’s really difficult to let go of someone who has so many good qualities and who I really love as a person. Most men are not like my bf, finding him was like finding a needle in a haystack in terms of him being such a good person and so chivalrous/loving towards me. The men I’ve been with in the past and the men I meet on a regular basis aren’t good like him at all. I envisioned this man as the love of my life and the one I would marry because of his good qualities so it’s such a shame things turned sour. I don’t think I have the strength to leave him in the physical reality yet. But I made the mental decision to keep my options open to other men.
Edit 2: I FINALLY DUMPED HIM 😊😊 that dead weight is finally off my shoulders. I’ve never been more proud of myself. I will not let myself go back to him.
