Help Me Learn to In Love a Different Way
I met a remarkable guy out of the blue. There was an instant connection which grew nicer with each day. Both of us had been resigned to lonely single lives because our tastes were so specific and we both felt misunderstood. Together, all the nightmares we experienced in solitude began to feel less painful, our passions grew, our talk of marriage came early.
Then I began to notice that he had never reached an orgasm with me, sex was difficult for him, and I could not figure it out but I knew something wasn't adding up, that it was not an ED problem. He finally confessed his true kink which involves cross-dressing, porn addiction, and his private sex life with himself which began at age 5. I'm devastated because he tells me that what he does with himself feels so much better than anything he and I can do together.
I reacted in a very supportive manner, took him shopping to add to his T wardrobe, taught him to surf the web, and tried to adjust my sexuality to coincide with his pleasures. It has not worked out, and now we are at the point where I am not trying to have sex with him anymore. I got so turned on at first, and without any release, I had to backpedal so I would not have to mole around in a perpetual state of sexual need.
I'm asking for help to navigate what will be a sexless marriage with him. I don't want to be cruel, and I still want him. His fetish involves being molested, his mindset is to be a little girl, and his explanation is that he knew what being a boy felt like so he developed an intense curiosity for all things females do and feel, particularly the uncomfortable things.
Being an only child, secluded in his room, not allowed to play, get dirty, act like a real boy, being little in stature and enduring so much harassment throughout his life for being little, have all played a role in what he has become.
I just want to get past the torrent of emotions I am having over technically being rejected in this strangest of ways. It isn't even him that is rejecting me, it is his fetishes that have put the pleasure barrier between us. We have had intercourse and it was AWESOME. I want more, but I see the lovely man he is struggling and avoiding it.
I decided to take an SBDM approach to any future intimate encounters we have, where I set rules, punish him, force him to do things, and verbalize my displeasure. It is the only way I can think to therapeutically help him and myself. The only problem with it is that I don't expect there to be any sexual satisfaction for me, and I'm just trying to accept it. I could use some advice or consoling.
You are a good soul. Where many would run, you try to help. He seems to have suffered in a way that would requires professional help.
It is wonderful of you to be so understanding and wanting to help, but I believe this is something that needs the care of someone who really knows what s/he is doing.
Please don't misunderstand; I don't believe there is anything wrong with his sexual desires in and of themselves-- It is the cause that is so painful for me to hear about. Sex is a small part of a relationship. A great sexual relationship may be able to divert a couple's attention from other important, and long lasting, parts of a relationship for a while, but I'm pretty sure there are no long lasting relationships that are only based on sex.
Besides assisting him to find the assistance he may need, you may also consider assistance in developing your mutual relationship. You also need to take care of yourself. You cannot help anyone if you are incapacitated.
It's wonderful that you care so much that you are willing to go to such lengths. Don't ever forget that there is no one more deserving of your patience, compassion, and love as you. In your desire to help him, don't forget to keep yourself safe.
Continue to be courageous.
You shouldn't have to reinvent yourself just to please someone else. It doesn't sound like a relationship that will be equally yoked. I think you should express that to him. He should want to find that pleasure with you as badly as you want to find it with him. Meet in the middle, don't just move yourself to meet him, if you know what I mean. If he doesn't want to meet in the middle, he needs to reexamine the worth he places on your relationship. That's my two cents.
