Why won't my boyfriend have sex with me?

your boyfriend abuses you and you're question is why isn't he having sex with you?? thats insane. why would you want a man that beats on you to make love to you. there's a big problem here and it's not the sex. trust me.

Your boyfriend may be a homosexual and cannot admit it. He may be sexually frustrated and angry about his own urges. He may even have been sexually abused by his father. Look into documented signs and symptoms to see if you recognize his behavior.

I threatened to break up with him the last time he got drunk and he has stopped drinking I think I mightve gotten through to him on how much he hurt me. The thing is...he lives with me, I am only 20 and have not finished school so I live with my family. One time me and him got into a fight at his fathers place (when me and his father were on good terms) and his father told me not to leave him because he thinks he'll end up hurting himself and I would feel so guilty if anything happened. My boyfriend had a very tough life growing up his parents actually abused him so I don't know if when he would drink he'd have flashbacks or what. I feel like I keep making excuses for him but I believe people can change. He has not hurt me for a while now and has done really well controlling himself when he drinks. He used to drink until everything was a blur and that's when he'd hurt me but now he'll only have a beer or two. What I don't understand is why he won't even let me touch him in any sexual way. He says he's not cheating on me and that it upsets him because I think that but he is just not interested in having sex with me. When we do have sex like I said it will be 2-5 minutes and he just says it's because he's just not in the mood. All he does is go to work go to school two days out of the week and play video games. I don't know if I should just send him back to live with his father but everytime I mention it he thinks I'm breaking up with him. I know we're too young to be living with eachother he's been living with me a little before I turned 18. So I don't know if we should just see eachother a few days out of the week or what.

ADtr26,

I have to agree with Rosa, Adtr. You are in an abusive relationship and you've got to get out. You say your boyfriend has strangled you countless number of times -- don't you see that if he goes too far just once you could die?

He says he loves you, but he doesn't know how to love you if he is physically abusive to you. A man who loves a woman does not almost break her wrists, or strangle her, or hit her in any way, ever. Ever.

Don't blame yourself for what's gone wrong here. This is NOT about whether you have gained 20 pounds or whether you are doing all the right things. This is about your boyfriend's view of life, and what is and is not OK for him to do.

Adtr, do you have any close friends, or family of your own?

What city and state are you in?

Have you ever thought about leaving your boyfriend because of the drinking and the violence?

Like Rosa said, please write back. We're here to help.

Adtr26,

I have to say when I first opened up your post I was not prepared to read what I just read. I am very sorry that he seems disinterested in sex but in all honesty-- you have way bigger fish to fry.

Have you considered getting help to get out of your relationship? Or has this never crossed your mind considering you are being verbally abused by HIS father and physically abused by him?

Let me clarify what you just posted-- you are with a guy who doesn't have sex with you, hits you when he is drunk, and possibly cheats on you (considering his past history). Is there something good about him that keeps you with him? Or is it fear?

Please write back-- there is help out there and I strongly feel like you deserve it. Yes, many people are good when sober and it could only be nasty when they're drunk but being drunk doesn't justify hurting someone to the point of almost breaking their wrists. Drinking impairs the brain and thought process severely and because of this, I am in fear for YOUR life. If you reconsider getting help and out of this hazardous relationship, please call the abuse helpline at: 1800.621.HOPE(4673)
