Ideas for taking the initiative...?

topic posted Sat, March 8, 2008 - 6:23 PM by  Kaylie Kaboom
I am a virgo, and maybe a little old-fashioned... My cancer boyfriend is also rather shy. Can you guys give me any ideas as to how to initiate sex... I was talking to a capricorn friend of mine, and she said, "Just jump on top of him, and do your thing!"

Okay, I'm sure he'd love that, but I don't want to be the one always initiating, if you know what I mean...? Plus, I like to be adventurous, and also to know that my boyfriend is attracted to me as well.

      See, that's the weird part... I don't know if he does.

      We've been dating for 4 months now, and we have sex MAYBE 2 times a week. This is very strange for me... I have a very high drive, and he says he does too, but I'm really not seeing it. I've tried to talk to him about it, but nothing's changed. I think he's still at the "learning to trust" stage in our relationship, which is perfectly fine... I guess I need to feel like I am attractive to him so that I can build my trust too? Make sense?

      So, what can I do?

        Cancer is "Flow"
        Let it flow....
        tension involved with love or sexual will have a cancer retreat,
        When your feeling..... well what ever term you use....
        just let the energy flow, lean in w/ a smile and a soft kiss.
        Cancer is also about the little things. The brush of a hand as you move around each other.
        with all the aggressive thrashing around...lol we need a flow of energy, a feeling a safety with that ultra soft inner side.

        2 time a week, Youth yeesh.….LOL…..

          2 times?

          for a cancer in a relationship i'd think this is very, very strange. cuddle more, maybe?

            For any man, Cancer or not, 2x a week isn't usually enough lol. Maybe his sex drive isn't as high as he thinks it is.

              I'd be available morning, noon, and night!

              Maybe his drive isn't that high....

                maybe he doesnt know if u r in the mood...
                i know that a few times i wasnt in the mood when my bf tried to have sex...and then all of a sudden he stopped initiating... i would think what is his problem, why doesnt he want to have sex?? so i finally asked him why im always the one initiating nowadays...and he told me because i turned him down a couple times so he was just gonna let me make the first move that way he would know if im in the mood. sounds stupid to me but hey... thankfully he got over it!!!

                or maybe he doesnt want u to think that all he is after is sex...

                or maybe in a past relationship his ex was the one to initiate and hes just used to it that way.

                try talking to him again and ask him why.

                Kaylie,

                I'm sure it's not his drive. I have that same issue with my guy. He is not one to initiate; although, once we get started, it's like, "man, I'm sooooo glad I started!" Yes, they are really weird like that. Even though they KNOW you're into them, there is still that need-for-reassurance-that-you-still-want-them factor. It's like they go backward. We cancers don't like rejection, and it's probably really hard to be a guy with feminine energy and face the possibility of sexual rejection---even those it doesn't make sense to you.
