"we are too young to have this problem"
New account and new poster. Just found this reddit and thought I could use a place to vent and get advice. Sorry for bad english!
I'm HLF and my partner is LLM. We are in our early twenties and been together for around 4.5 years. We have had this problem for about a year.
He said one day "we are too young to have this probelm" and though I said that it's normal in any age (and I do think so) I feel that too. I'm 22! I feel unsexy and so unwanted. But I love this boy so so much. Then again in about 6 months (give or take) we've had had sex twice. I've been thinking that I can learn to live without it but the more I think about it I just can't. Recently I've felt more and more frustrated because I can't get my needs met.
We often discuss this topic and he always says he'll have to do something about it. And he says he feels like he's broken because he is so LL. I feel bad for him and at the same time feel like I can't feel bad for myself. He doesn't want sexually open relationship.
I love him so so much and I truly feel like we have something special...that just doesn't reach the bedroom.
EDIT: Someone pointed out that older people want to fuck too which fair. I'll straight up post what I answered:
I think what he meant by it is that we've been together for such a short time. And we don't have any kids or serious careers yet. All the time and energy in the world. And still.
