Either way, you come home at the end of the day feeling like a little crabapple—you just want to watch The Bachelor and complain about Hannah Ann, but your partner has another idea. Like, right now.
This very urgent I-need-you kind of advance would normally —like literally any other time—be more than welcome. But in this moment it sounds… like it requires a lot of effort. In the endeavor to avoid these bad feelings, initiating sex often becomes loaded with baggage.
But, ultimately, researchers found that having sex in order to avoid relationship issues hurt more than it helped, especially in relationships with less frequent sex. The solution here? Of course, there is an ocean of difference between being into the idea of having sex, but not being fully turned on yet, and actually not wanting to have sex at all.
The key to saying no without sending your beloved into a tailspin of insecurity has everything to do with how the rejection happens. If you feel like giving a reason, great, but you are not and should not feel obligated.
Be honest and be clear. Acknowledge and encourage the intimacy of the moment. We all want to be wanted, and we especially want to be wanted sexually. One study showed that the negative effects of being rejected by a partner last longer than the feel-good effects of your partner saying yes to sex.
Meanwhile, partners doing the accepting or rejecting still felt pretty good, likely a byproduct of feeling wanted by the other person. Sit down with a bottle of wine and talk about your day! Suggest something else that you are up for.
Perhaps suggest something your partner likes doing, but suggest it for another time. By Sophia Benoit.
