Need more play

Hello!  I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or had this problem.  My husband just doesnt have any interest in foreplay.  He will literally just go to business.  This ends up really hurting and isnt too enjoyable for me.  Ive tried telling him, but still he will maybe do it for a few minutes and move right into business.  Not only does this hurt, but then I end up not feeling like im just an object.  Does anyone have this issue, or have any suggestions on how to get him to slow down?    He means well, I think he just gets so into it.

Re: Need more play

  • Does this guy need to have the roof fall in on him?

    Sequester your H for a talk about this topic and do it outside the bedroom --- sit him down and put a positive spin on it. "Honey, you're red hot and I love sex with you --- I think it would be great if we had more foreplay."

    This isn't a porn flick or a porno novel. Women need foreplay and lots of it.

    You can slow the action down yourself, also.
  • For some reason, guys need to hear the same thing 10x before they get it, especially when it has to do with sex. Even though you'll probably feel like a broken record, he'll act like he's never heard it before. So tell him over and over again.

    Would he be agreeable to giving you a massage? It'll give him something else to focus on besides 'business'

  • And why have you never stopped him? Like, "Ow, honey, stop. That hurts; I'm not wet enough yet." Not that it's your fault he's an ass who only cares about his own pleasure, but you do have a say in this too. If you're not giving enthusiastic, definite consent, what he's doing is rape.
  • I think the previous poster might be taking this a little far.  I honestly don't think men realize that we don't have any fun without being ready first.  I've found the best thing to do is to show DH.  You could try what I did:

    Tell your husband that you'll make him a deal - you'll try a new position/lingerie/whatever constitutes a little treat if he listens very carefully and does exactly what you say.  My husband thought this was fun, so maybe yours will too.  Then, just tell him exactly what you want, and don't let him do anything until you're good and ready.  Then, when it's amazing, tell him that the foreplay really did it for you, and wasn't it fun?  Then you can make a game out of it. Now, my husband likes more foreplay than I do.

    What, by pointing out that continuing to have sex with someone that is causing them pain is rape? Because it is. It is sad but true that some men rape their wives. I didn't say OP's husband is definitely doing so, because I don't know all the details.

    You are so far off.  Yes, husbands rape wives.  But jumping from not enough foreplay to he's raping you is a rather huge leap.  She said she's told him she wants more foreplay and he goes with it for a few minutes and then gets to business.  She didn't say he screws her while she's telling him not to.  And saying anything without "enthusiastic consent" is rape is just not true.  What exactly does "enthusiastic consent" mean?  Does she just have to not say no or does she have to set off sparklers and sing a song directing him to mount her?  Rape is a huge accusation and it shouldn't be thrown around lightly.

  • Look. I didn't say he was raping her. No accusations, just pointing out a possibility because a lot of women who are abused are very hesitant to call it rape. And enthusiastic consent = engaging in sex with enjoyment. It's that simple. If I'm not eager to have sex, I shouldn't be having it. And honestly, I won't let my husband in until I've had enough foreplay. It would upset him terribly to know he was hurting me, so we make sure he doesn't. I'm sorry I apparently hit a nerve here.
  • I had this issue with my FI a couple of years ago, but I would stop him before he would go for the gold and tell him I wasnt ready yet i needed more foreplay and direct him on what to do. Of course he wants to give up in a few minutes and go for it again but i kept doing the same thing until I was ready. If your not getting lubricated enough maybe have him feel down there to show him you arent ready and need more foreplay. Now my FI knows when I am ready because he does a lot of foreplay and knows when I am lubricated enough to move on to intercourse but it took teaching him what I needed to get to that point. Sometimes telling isnt enough you have to show them to get them to understand.

  • Instead of talking about it, why don't you show him?  Do a role playing, tie him up or what ever makes you most comfortable and SHOW him what you need. The next time left him start, and when he's finished with foreplay (but you're not), then you stop him, take matters in your own hands and resume only when you're ready. Finally, his and hers ky can really help a gal get ready.

  • Guys like foreplay... you just might need to find a way to show him what he's missing out on... tease him! Hopefully this article will help: http://www.relatespace.com/2011/10/05/do-guys-like-foreplay

    I'd also suggest trying to get him to read the article below so maybe he'll better understand your needs.  Of course continuing to talk about your needs is important too. http://www.relatespace.com/2011/11/29/penises-vs-vaginas
