BF is afraid of ejaculation. Suspect Trauma. How to help him to resolve?

104 posts in this topic

Hey guys, my BF has had quite a deep trauma when he was like 25y old where his casual fling he never intended to date seriously got pregnant 3 weeks into them knowing each other. She kept the baby and 20+ years of nightmare commenced with her manipulating with the child etc etc. 

Now when we have sex, he controls himself a lot and doesn't allow himself to fully relax, enjoy and come freely. In fact, I never experienced him coming. Been 4+ months. And he said he is like this already for 20+ years. 

How can I help? Suggest him counselling? What to do? Any ideas?

@Leo Gura well, I don't have kids and want to keep that option open just in case I want them in the future. 

Any less radical stuff?

Nightmare.

I have a similar problem as this guy, I have difficulty relaxing and I can't really let go and enjoy.

This guy has to have a desire to change himself and become whole. If there is no intrinsic motivation to change then you will be bringing stuff like this up until the end of the relationship.

Have you talked to him about he's basically screwed up and what healing looks like?

I'd say either make peace with who he is and stop trying to change him, or find someone who's actually healed their trauma and is available for an intimate relationship

@Raptorsin7 we talked. He said he will work on it. But if it was like this for 20y, I doubt he can do it on his own. 

We r having sex, and I don't have complaints in the satisfaction department. I am multi orgasmic. And he tries very hard to please me. 

Problem is he is not enjoying as much as he could!

Take the pressure off a bit. Climax doesn't need to happen for sex to be enjoyable.

4 months is not a long time in a relationship especially when it comes to breaking through traumas so relax a little and please him in other ways :)

@Vzdoh

20 years is quite a long time.

So changing this will take a while.

If i were you, i would try to make him feel ok about it in the first place, if it is affecting and dragging him down that is.

I would try to make him feel relaxed and take all of the pressure out of this situation, if there even is any to begin with.

I don´t think that there is a quick fix for this.

This situation needs very deep root cause solutions.

I think a lot of compassion, acceptance and understanding is needed here.

What he went through is absolutely no joke and truly sounds like a complete nightmare.

But i think this will work itself out over time if he keeps working on it and you are supporting him along the way.

@Vzdoh Poor guy... Turns out he wasn't avoiding intimacy, only pregnancy.

For a man it does.

@Marcel I am accepting of hus trauma and not complaining that much. I am just concerned he is not enjoying himself. 

Also, he kinda not as keen on having sex overall, again I think because of this trauma than anything else or because he doesn't want me. 

When we r together and fooling around, its quite satisfying, and passionate, and physical just the way I like it. 

But I see he is trying to keep control at all times, not relaxed and at times it affects his erection too. 

And I like to be fucked hard ????

So what u guys suggest? Of course, I am not going to pressure him about it or declare he is not good enough for me. And don't think its easily and quickly resolvable. 

But I am thinking to suggest therapy in a few months perhaps ?

@Gesundheit2 yeah, he begged me to reconsider and was devastated that I was thinking to walk out on him and so he made changes. Committed to spending more time together. Even took my request to be more physically affectionate to heart and now constantly touches me when we r together. 

But yeah, sex for him is associated with life long drama, so I am wondering what I can do to help him resolve this.

@Vzdoh I really don't know.

But maybe as a first step you could try to make him more comfortable with sex by doing it only in your non-ovulating days. That way, he might be able to relax. You said you don't have sex that many times generally as of now, so it might be a good start. Then after a while of doing that, when sex becomes part of his monthly routine, maybe it'll become easier for him.

How about using a condom?

You have to show him that he can trust you and that you would not use him for pregnancy and that you only want pregnancy if he also is in on it

Vasectomies can be reversed.

You can try making him cum with your hands/mouth. Maybe he will feel more safe that way. Or tell him to jerk off on you.

@Adamq8 oh we do use condoms of course! And I did tell him that I won't keep the baby in case I fall pregnant without him agreeing to it. It didn't really work.

@Leo Gura for some reason he feels uneasy with oral. He didn't explain much as to why. Probably same thing - afraid to ejaculate. But I will keep trying. 

Never actually met a guy before who wouldn't enjoy oral ???

@aurum yeah, I was and told him about what I have in mind. But he really made an effort and apologised and was super upset. It was obvious he didn't want to lose me. And I decided to give him last chance to recover.

some men tend to have a kinda of fearful thought of: what if I make this woman pregnant and the baby would neglect my success in future! this can affect the quality of performance.

but it can be much problematic if it gets formed into a sexual trauma!!

I'm sure there are ways to get rid of that trauma. look up for "sexual healing" videos on YouTube.

That is probably a good idea.

But do it in baby steps.

I myself think of going to therapy a lot, because of various reasons, but i need to do it slowly, just the thought of looking for a therapist can maximally stress me out sometimes.

But don´t worry, you can just suggest it to him and see how he reacts.

If there is a lot of resistance, you´ll know that you may have hit a nerve.
