He becomes uncomfortable and embarrassed for some reason. If we were playing with each other during the scene, he loses his erection and even after the scene is over he isn't able to get back to where we left off. Needless to say, it's quite frustrating as I am looking forward to having our usual amazing sex, but just like that his mood is ruined. I am also a bit worried because he feels bad about it and I don't want him to feel guilty, also I don't want him to think of sex as something that he "owes" me even when he's not in the mood, or anything like that.
I asked him why this happens (in the most calm and empathetic way possible) and he wasn't able to give me an answer, all he said was that watching long-ish sex scenes (not to mention porn) with me makes him uncomfortable and it kills his mood for the rest of the night. He asked me why it didn't have the same effect on me, I told him that while it does bother me to do stuff with him during those scenes (I find them distracting and mood-killing), once they're over I'm able to get back to us.
So my question is, do you have any theories as to why this happens? Does this happen (or has this ever happened) to you and/or your partner, and if so what is/was the reason? I'm just looking for hypothesis' here, I know that the only one who can truly answer this question is him. Thank you in advance :-).
maybe it feels like he has to compete with or go one better with you in person to what he is hearing obviously not watching during the movie sex scenes and it throws off his own rhythm with you. you could just put on music instead of a movie so roomies can't hear you having sex. or maybe he thinks the roomie thinks the movie ****ing is you guys and that makes him lose his erection and wants to stop because him thinking they think its you both embarrasses him. just don't put movies on anymore when having sex that will solve it.
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
