I (F25) have a very hard time initiating sex with my partner (M25). We’ve been together for 5 years, and the last few years we probably on average have sex like less than once a month, it’s probably been 2-3 months since the last time we had sex. We’re both not super sexual anymore, I don’t really think about it much. But when I do want it I hardly ever communicate it to him. When I do it’s very rare and I’m very shy about it, which he doesn’t like. He wants me to be confident about it but I’m just not.

It feels incredibly embarrassing to express something like that. And even more embarrassing if I get rejected. It feels like I shouldn’t want to be sexual or express sexual desire. Which I don’t understand because I’m aware that sexual desires are healthy and normal and human. But it just feels like so embarrassing that I want that.

I have a feeling this stems from multiple problems such as the fact that I’m autistic so I don’t know how to express myself in a way that doesn’t feel performative or struggling with knowing what to say or how to act. I also grew up in a very strict Christian conservative home that did not talk about sex at all. I also struggle with confidence in my appearance and feel like sex is something that someone that looks like me shouldn’t want.

What do I do, I feel ashamed for this whole situation because it’s putting stress on my bf too.
