The issue of who shows an interest in having a physical relationship in a couple might be mistaken for rather trivial; after all, what counts is that it happens, not that one or the other party initiates. But in truth, the question of who first displays their enthusiasm is vital to the well-being of a couple.

“It can seem a highly trivial subject to get so upset about – being rightly no more significant than who should open the door first, or open a new jam jar first. And yet, judging from the heartache it tends to generate, it appears to matter very much indeed. It’s at the root of many affairs, it is the catalyst for vicious arguments and bitterness, the long-term future of small children can be decided by it – and couples routinely end up in therapy or (more often) the divorce courts because of it.

At the heart of the drama are all the complexities involved when, late at night, in the darkness, one person’s hand moves over to tentatively touch the other’s body in a way that signals a desire to initiate either lovemaking or a cuddle – and nothing much happens in return...”

So not a lack of reciprocation but a lack of communication

If you don’t want to do it, or your girl doesn’t want to do it, make sure you grab them tight and snuggle up anyway so they can sleep knowing ya still love ‘em and Vice Versa. That’s all.

Also keeping in mind people have High or Low Libidos. Communication is essential but that physical chemistry is important too.

Not really about initiating per se, but in terms of communication:
I had a boyfriend years ago who occasionally made a "special request" that I was not interested in doing. I eventually told him, with kindness, not to bother asking because it was really never going to happen. He kind of giggled at his own futile persistence (which, admittedly, was adorable) and said ok ok I won't ask anymore. And he stopped asking. Some time later (weeks?), it occured to me how respected that made me feel, and I thought wow, lucky me to have this person I trust. Long story short, his being so great about my saying no made me secure in saying ok, we can try it. And we did. And it was not at all bad. Interesting but a little involved. But he got his wish, because he was a good guy about it.

A healthy relationship needs a healthy communication and appreciation of your partner’s needs and wants. We may not always be in the mood to initiate or even reciprocate but if we do it lovingly and with understanding then it bodes well for a healthy relationship.

Communication is the second most important ingredient in ANY relationship.

🤔 In the beginning with a narcissist they will initiate, then YOU are trained to initiate until they withdraw altogether. They are either looking for new supply, or recycling old supply

“Communication is key to a relationship.”

My adhd brain: “Welp, your definitely screwed.”

Seriously speaking, from someone who has adhd, it’s very hard to communicate what my body and mind feels when even I can’t understand what’s going on or why it’s happening. Half the time I’m confused about what’s happening and then I can’t register to let things go and accept that it’s normal because I haven’t discovered such a concept/problem yet. And I’m almost 20 with zero idea of how to deal with sex and other natural things with people. I can’t just shrug it off so easily, and I feel that it’s a very important thing to dive deeper into for someone like me to better understand it.

Sadly, I've known people who initiate because they feel it's expected of them. That they're obligated even though they really aren't interested.

In my experience with this subject (twice) it was a matter of my partner hiding something horrible from me. Trust your gut.

I've been led to believe the woman only initiates it when her guy is exceptionally busy and cannot put the task on hold. It's the same thing when parents tell the kid to take out the trash only AFTER he/she started an online game.

In short: never happens when unoccupied. Always happens when can't be bothered.

I agree... a little bit. Everyone should be able to hear no and respect it. Yeah, I wrote the rejection in our 25 years of marriage has been agonizing.

But, when anyone says no at any time, that's no.

One in a relationship needs to communicate and try to understand the other person if you are married or committed. But you never have the right to either deny them the opportunity to say no or to ignore it.

Anyone having sex with another person must ALWAYS be prepared for rejection.

Ladies, if you never initiate sex, free your man of your lack of interest and go find someone you are sexually interested in. As men, we don’t change. We’re all over you 15, 20, 25 years into the relationship just like when we first got together. Women lose their drive for their men and then say the man needs to do more. Men do more and she doesn’t change. She doesn’t change because it was never him, it was her. She has some issue going on that she’s too ignorant or arrogant and prideful to address. Therefore, “it must be him.” Ladies, do the work you need to do or release your man so he can find somebody else. You will move on to another man and the same thing will happen and maybe then you’ll realize it was you this whole time. Men don’t ask for much, but sex is a big deal to us. Imagine him doing for you what you really want and desire, as seldom as you give him sex. You’d be pissed and feel like he doesn’t care.

Too much thinking in a spontaneous flow of life
Add a bit of respect and patience in love and you'll breathe as one
