Once upon a time, I had a (now ex-) scrote say as we lay falling asleep in our bed, that, "this bed is a stress free space and that he can do anything to help me alleviate any stress.".......Like using my body for his orgasm is for my own benefit and not his.
...men can pretend that everything outside the bed doesn't matter as sex is a <rolls eyes> "need."
tldr; when the 'we're not having enough sex' talk happens, the relationship is already over.
P.S. Anyone who can't distinguish physical sex from emotional intimacy #5alarmfire
EDIT: Emotionally healthy people have physical sex as an affirmation of caring, security, and happiness.
Scrotes use it as a deflection from anxiety, self-doubt, fear, and as a surgical act to “get-off.”
Ugh my ex loved sex as a "stress reliever" too and offered it to me anytime I didn't feel good for whatever reason. No, stress kills my libido, dude. He refused to accept that.
I told an ex one time that I was craving some intimacy. He said something along the lines we can get naked and stuff when your over later 😒 I thought oh ummm maybe he didn’t get what I was saying but… that PS is 💯it 🚩. Sex does mean being intimate but being intimate doesn’t always have to mean sex!
