Hi everyone. I’m new here. I’m having a variety of internal issues that are affecting my relationship with a girl, but I will just go into what’s most significant. Basically I dated this girl for two years, and I was always afraid to make it more. We grew close, and eventually decided to make it a relationship, or at least take that “next step”. Previously, we had taken mostly baby steps. We had already been sexually active by this time and she never gave me any indication there was anything wrong in this area, and I’m not used to there being anything wrong. I’ve generally received only positive feedback, and I’ve dated mostly girls who were real sexual and “size queens”. I’ve come to realize that in general, I have nothing to be ashamed of as I come in right at 8 inches, though I know that’s not “everything” and this sounds extremely immature – but there is a reason I go into this detail.
She had watched porn previously but got into the habit of it right before we got together “officially”, and had made some comments about it off and on, but given we weren’t “together”, I didn’t give it too much thought because I didn’t think of her as my only way of satisfaction despite me being loyal to her and not sleeping with anyone else along the way. Well, finally what sparked the problem is she made a comment about porn in general – a stereotype that she stated she believed was possibly true. I haven’t been the same since. The damage was done with this comment, though she took it back and even argued against it days later. She has since read evidence suggesting she was wrong and she supposedly no longer thinks this… and I guess you could say it’s a non-issue but I don’t know how she truly feels about it. I just know she is normally a very opinionated person, as I’ve told her and she has never made me feel insecure about anything else. I know for a fact she loves me and I feel that if she felt like she was satisfied with me in that area, she wouldn’t have a problem telling me – she too is a very sexual person and has commented on the importance of size on more than one occasion.
Despite her initial statement that caused the damage being “worked out” (though I don’t know the truth, only what she tells me now when I ask her) the damage that was done hasn’t gone away. How could after two years of her not telling me anything or making me feel like I am “good enough” to her can she convince me now after easily saying comments about porn? It doesn’t add up, and it’s driving me crazy. Everything else seems to be fine, and I know deep down I have nothing to worry about – because if she truly does believe anything I fear she might, she will eventually be in for a rude awakening – but I don’t want to feel like I’m being looked down upon. I never have now, and why start now. I do believe I have feelings for her, and she has feelings for me, because like with everything else about this issue, she is very vocal in telling me how she feels and makes it clear. Often times if we do try to talk about any of this, she cries, gets upset, struggles for words, and contradicts herself – and only says anything about it when I ask. She claims the reason for that is because I’ve told her I don’t even know if I can believe her at this point, and that’s true – but if she really wanted me to believe something, I’d just think she would try anyway instead of accepting me feeling that way.
I’m in my later 20’s and she is 22, but I don’t see that being a reason for anything in this instance. I just wish I knew how she really felt, and that she could open up to me in a believable way like she does about everything else – including porn. She has since stopped watching porn, though that really wasn’t the issue I had to begin with. I have decided to take a “break” and go back to how we were – dating because this is such a big issue to me. I could go to anyone else and not have this insecurity, but I wouldn’t care for them as I do for her either. Even though the fact that she loves me should maybe be enough, it doesn’t fill that hole that is missing now sexually – if that makes sense. Does it make sense?
