My girlfriend has no physical drive

Default profile image
I've been dating my girlfriend for roughly 16 months now. The emotional connection between us is great most of the time. We have a very good relationship in nearly every aspect, except one. She has no sex drive at all. I don't mean like sex is becoming a rarity now. As I said, we've been dating for a year and a quarter, and the most I've gotten is my penis being rubbed through my jeans. She refuses to do anything else. I don't dislike her because of it though, I still find her to be beautiful, intelligent, all that good stuff. I love her and I don't want to force it on her (it wouldn't work if I tried away, trust me on that) but I feel like this aspect of the relationship has become too one sided since I'm the only one making the sacrifices. I fell like I have a drive that's being repressed, and that eventually it'll gonna blow up in my face. The idea of breaking it up with her or cheating on her has been appearing in my head frequently because of it. I've spoken to her about this multiple times, and she does somewhat sympathize with me, but it usually just ends with her shrugging her shoulders and me being left in the same predicament. I don't want to break it up with her because of this, but I feel like I have no other choice.

U dint mention if U, her or both are virgins.. i would say wat u think is right. dont gv up on her. Give her some more time.. have patience.. if it is her first time, mayb this freaks her out.. try talking to her how ths is making u feel. she may nt b ready now. ask her abt it. feeling that way is reasonable on ur part bt having a physical relationship necessarily within 16 months of a relationship shouldnt b a top priority i think. if u love her dearly n want to be with her.. then wait.. dnt prove her that you want her for her body only.

Yeah, it'll eventually blow up in your face as you state. You may have a very good relationship but it's not good enough because you don't have complete communication. If you're thinking of breaking up, cheating etc because of the lack of understanding and communication on the issue, then you're half way there already. It's your choice.

Well, we met last year in our high school play. I'm in university now, but she's doing senior year. She's very affectionate. We kiss, hug, cuddle etc a lot, and it hasn't gotten old. She's a very emotional person, which has it's pros and cons, but she's a wonder to be with when she's in a good mood, and I have no issues consoling her or what-not if she's in a bad mood. I don't have much against her at all. I love being with her. I've discussed this with her many times. Her excuse for not wanting to has changed many times, from it being marriage, to a specific age, the age changing multiple times, to just not having a drive for it, and most recent she tried to teach me about female hormones and how they're different from a male's. She does show general concern, and she did directly say that if I want that I'll have to seek it in another girl, and she was clearly sad as she said it. I told her I had no intention of leaving her, because I don't. But at the end of our discussion every time, she basically says there's nothing she can or will do about it. After sixteen months, I'd like to move on a little, you know? I explained before that I'm afraid this drive in me is going to explode and I may actually end up cheating on her or something if similar consequences. I really don't want to lose her.
