Still no sex after 4 months of relationship.

Of course. Being in a serious relationship always implies that one party holds power over the other and strings them along handing out treats like dog biscuits at their own discretion. Because that's what it is.

Because he has gone for a minimum.

Sorry but there is something seriously wrong with your relationship if she can't even stand to have you in her for more than two times a week.


I agree that there might be something wrong, but the assumption is that the relationship is a 'joke' because of the lack of sex. This is just some gross assumption based on two people who no-one knows. What if she's epically god-squad and that why she's not putting out? What if she's got some sort of sexual dysfunction, or has had something awful happen in her past. What if she just has a low sex drive and loves him but doesn't want sex much. Throwaway comments which essentially amount to 'dump her unless she starts putting out' are a simplistic reaction to what could be a complex problem.

Your assumptions are also baseless, I generalise based on the information available to me. More often than not, if a woman is not putting out, it is because she does not like you, not because she is unhealthy, insecure, or religious, although all are mitigating factors.

Those would be rather rare cases - but wouldn't change anything. If I had a girlfriend with some kind of sexual dysfunction -well that's too bad. I'd find another girlfriend. It's no different to having a girlfriend who has some kind of social dysfunction - causing her to not go out. If she won't go out, and I want to there's no relationship. No need for blame - just go your separate ways.

If she has low sex drive and doesn't want it - the question has to be asked - how much does she want the relationship? If it's so terrible that she can't bring herself to do it a few times a week - then where's the relationship? Same applies - how about if I said "I have low affection - I can't possibly hug you for at least a year - and then only once a month or so or on special occasions." That makes me a crap boyfriend.

Low sex drive is no excuse. I've got low motivation to do course work, but I know I have to do it because it keeps me at university.

so I have been "dating" this girl for 4 months, and we still haven't done it yet.

It frustrates me because all my mates have sex with their gf's all the time.


Write her off as a non performing asset and leave on friendly terms.

If you were hot you wouldn't need a relationship to have sex. If you really cared for your girl you wouldn't be acting like this.

Your problem is caused by you not being hot enough to get what you want, and not being strong enough to communicate this.


While your other points are valid i disagree with the bold. A girl who does not have sex within a month is telling me that she does not trust me nor value my expressions of intimacy, i'd dump her.

Generally though the OP's big failure is in allowing his girlfriend to dictate the terms of the relationship.

'What if she is religious, unhealthy, so on' to paraphrase.

Are these not assumptions?

No, they're not assumptions - they're possibilities.

Like OPs sex life?

Moving the goal post.

Usually, there'd be two goal posts to make a working goal, and both would be moved. I don't know what you're on about, but I think it's probably easiest just to agree with whatever you're saying.

OP: just bear in mind that a lack of sex can be more than just 'she doesn't like me'. Talk to her. Ask her.

Start making moves on her. 'Talking to her' about it wont do jack. Sex isn't about discussion and agreement, its about attraction (and love, some would say). Tell her what you want with actions, not words.

Drop her. She will put out to a guy she likes, clearly doesn't like you very much.

No she won't. Every girl is different. A lot of my friends will suss the guy out well before they do anything intimate with him.
Stop treating it as a f***ing competition, and moaning like a child, and then maybe you'd get some.

Lol, that doesn't work in the slightest. A ****boy knows this and acts accordingly, some girls make guys they like wait and shag guys you just want fun with, fair enough, but you can't get annoyed when a 'good guy' gets annoyed at you for wanting more intimacy when you put it out to pricks without any barriers.

I'd feel awful in a sexless relationship. I'd constantly think we were just friends.

You need to have patience. If she doesn't want to have sex yet then you should wait. Forget about your friends, you shouldn't be comparing your relationship to theirs

Lol then why do they all have long term boyfriends?

Because they are not dating pricks. Making a guy wait doesn't make him not a prick.

Ok, I don't think i've worded what I mean well so i'll start again.

Making a guy wait to have sex with you proves absolutely nothing, it does not prove he cares about you, just that he is patient enough to wait. If anything it may deter actual people who are interested and care about you away, by making them question why you won't sleep with them (like OP) but why you will sleep with some guy you met in a bar. Men aren't immune from insecurity, if you act distant and test them you'll do nothing more than push the decent people away as well.

That might be true for some guys, but I know my friends have kept an open line of communication since day 1 and the guys knew what they were getting into, so at no point did they have any questions or confusion :-)
Are you intimate with her in other ways? Do you passionately kiss each other, touch each other, hold hands, cuddle, etc. Or is there absolutely no physical contact whatsoever? Is she still a virgin? Have you ever tried to initiate things? Does she reject you?
