There is some but they are always bitterly short, at least for me. He feels he cannot last long when we'd do certain foreplay acts.

The only thing that guy reads are work emails. I've gifted him books in the past and they just ended up in file 13.

This is pretty much new territory. We tried once very early on but I'd honestly never touched myself in that particular way so I was struggling. I wanted to but we'd only been dating 2 weeks at the point. I still had butterflies in my stomach knowing my friend was now my lover. But no we've not tried to since then.

To be honest, he's not embarrassed to masturbate in front of me, I don't think. It's just the game has to change so he's unsure he wants to you know? I'll bring this idea up when I'm feeling better though.

That is my hope, but I have a feeling he will still use his hand only.

14 weeks is a long time for a guy that told me at the start of the relationship "I want sex every single day." He's already masturbated 4 times alone since last week's surgery. It's been... difficult... knowing that he refuses my aide too.

Yes I'm very overwhelmed by it all too. I knew I was going to be, but the complications have made it that much more so.
