Thank you so much for saying this. It IS very difficult for me to speak up about what I desire because he seems to think that "normal" sex is boring or not stimulating enough. I'm not totally against trying new things. In fact, I have.....but that doesn't mean compromising myself or our relationship. He's put so much pressure on me to do things his way and shows very little interest in pleasing me. I'm so upset. Apparently he's always been like this. I think the problem may be very deeply rooted.
