Do any of you make any effort in talking through your insecurities with your partners? And if so, how do you approach the subject with her? I'm asking this especially those that have particular kinks that your SO may or may not enjoy.


In my case, I have found positive feedback when she starts exploring. It seems she is way more inclined to be open to hear and think about new ideas when she is "open" sexually. Since my objective is to acutally enjoy my "kinks" with her, I look for the most oportune moment, where the risks of a "no" are smaller and / or the consequences of my "exposure" will be almost non existent.

So to sum it up - when the stars and planets are well aligned - the portal to kinkiness is open and the muse is with us - this is the time when I open myself sexually to her.

Coco, I've never talked to mrs P about my insecurities about her thinking I was a total sexual freak (even though by Lush standards, I'm probably considered somewhat vanilla). I did get her to enjoy being blindfolded after I told her I had something special in mind. I never talked to her about it, I just did it. I made sure I only did things she would be comfortable with. I can't imagine things going past that point though, well at least right now anyway.

I feel I have 2 from the list. I feel my cock is a little on the short side plus at times I am a little too quick. So I guess you can say I got the worst 2 issues. I always try to give her a good tongue lashing first

It's very interesting to see how varied the responses here are compared to the poll in Ask the Gals.

It bothers me if my partner doesn't cum. I rather feel......like I should do better.

My biggest fear is that Mr Happy won't play - he just wants to sleep. I want to party I have her ready and he's not into it.

Also when I was younger I never felt good about myself physically and even today I am often reluctant to approach somebody I am attracted to. Although at my age now I'm starting to figure what the hell she can only say no and I'm no worse off.Nw8WtsCwQ2iexwpz

These days, honestly, none. I had some understandable insecurities in my teens regarding my performance and appearance, which drove me to improve myself in areas that weren't quite my speciality, rather than starting to look for excuses like most people do. I only look forward to a great sex session and giving her maximum pleasure, which is something that I know I am quite capable of.

my insecurity could be best described as performance pressure. The first times I've been with a woman I had this mindset that I need to do really well now but that caused pressure and I couldn't relax and enjoy the situation

As is in any situation not just sex. You must have a positive attitude towards what your doing. Confidence is definitely a sexy trait.
You are what you think you are. If you think you are good, then you are. If you think you are not , then you are not.
There is also room for improvement, always.
Just have fun and enjoy sex. FUN is the key.

Well if she ever does I never will!
Thanks for digging this one up, I hadn't seen it.

I answered the one about how you compare or measure up to previous partners but only because I think it is the most common. Probably at some point all of them have been a part. It seems to vary with different partners.

With my ex-wife who was a virgin when we did it the first time, I didn't have that worry but I did worry about whether I would meet her expectations or her fantasies about when it would finally happen. Those can hard to live up to sometimes.

Maybe worrying whether I was better or worse than previous partners. I've always been open to suggestions and willing to let her tell me exactly what she wants, so I'm thinking I don't need to worry about that anymore.

I suppose it's whether I'll cum! I can sometimes take forever which can be so frustrating.

I'm surprised 'Premature Ejaculation' and 'Erectile Dysfunction' are not listed separately in the poll, considering they might be popular among many men. I guess they could be included in 'Disappointment in your sexual skills/abilities'.

This is what I voted for personally (Disappointment in your sexual skills/abilities). I'm quite confident about my overall skills/abilities, but can also experience premature ejaculation at times (or at least premature climax), especially when I'm having sex with a woman for the first time. The hotter the woman, the more likely this might happen, so at least it's a bit of a compliment. Surprisingly enough, I was able to last quite a long time with the hottest woman I've ever fucked (which was also one of the greatest fuck I've ever had, and no, it wasn't only because the girl was hot).

I don't have a severe case of premature ejaculation, but that's about the only thing that can make me a bit nervous when I'm fucking a woman for the very first time. With experience though, I've found ways to work through it, so it's not really a major issue either.

For the curious : http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postsm1277010_Premature-Ejaculation.aspx

Otherwise, I think that just about everybody has this general 'performance anxiety' with a new partner, which I believe is quite normal, very healthy and almost pleasurable because it keeps us on the edge. Even famous rockstars who have been touring for 25+ years will tell you that they still experience a certain 'performance anxiety' before they hit the stage.

One more thing that's not really an 'insecurity' but more of a 'fear', is the uncertainty of being sexually compatible with your new partner or not. Although the first night might still be enjoyable, it can be quite a letdown to discover that all the efforts you've made to finally end up in bed with him/her might prove to be vain in the long run.

PS : Nice responses in this thread.
