A guy I’ve been hooking up with said a couple things I didn’t like. Am I being too sensitive?

r/

I’ve been seeing this guy to hookup with for awhile. I went to his place last night and we did stuff in bed, and then I stayed there till 2am, talking to him, until he told me it was getting late (and basically kicked me out LOL). Talking to him after was fine. It’s just a couple things he said while we were doing stuff in bed, that rubbed me the wrong way.
He had JUST gotten back from a 10-hour drive, just the hour before so I don’t know if this was just from being tired (he hasn’t been like this before).

He asked me to go down on him. I got on top and asked him to finger me, just casually. He said “I will, after you suck me off”. He sounded annoyed though and that kinda bothered me. I don’t really care for getting oral back (with other guys too), so he’s never given me oral. And even with fingering, it depends on my mood (I get SO much more pleasure giving than receiving). Also, the last few times I had seen him, I’ve been on my period so I couldn’t ask him to finger me anyway. This was the first time in a little while that I really wanted him to do it. So that sorta bothered me. Whenever he asks me to go down on him, I’m always cool with doing it that instant.

After I went down on him a bit, he did finger me. I asked him if he’d use my vibrator on me (never asked him this before but I’ve done it with other guys). To this, he said “No I don’t want to touch your vibrator”. I asked about that and he said “you can do that on your own”. I feel like it’s way more convenient than using your own fingers but okay, I guess. It kinda put me off and I just wasn’t having as much fun as I usually do in bed with him.

Since he had just gotten back from a 10-hour drive an hour earlier, and he isn’t usually mean, I wonder if I’m being too harsh. Am I being petty or too sensitive?

Edit: so many loving comments!! Thanks guys. I wasn’t sure if I was being a baby about those 2 comments while I was going down on him, but I was sad in my head šŸ˜… LOL

    He can jerk off on his own but you touch his dick. It feels different to have someone else do it, like how it’s hard to tickle yourself. Also, it’s not like you can’t finger someone while they give you head.

    I wouldn’t even call it “something he said”, for me it would be more about just the general sexual experience we’re having, where any mundane suggestion I bring up turns into some ideological argument as if my enjoyment is difficult for him to care about. For me that would kill the mood.

    Nah, that’s a major red flag. A good partner, even if they’re not comfortable with what you’re asking, won’t be an asshole about it.

    It also kind of sounds like he just has no interest in your pleasure, which is an absolute asshole move.

    It sounds like you just wanted to masturbate and he’s not interested in your playtime needs.

    Is he being a poor partner? Probably. Does your part in the interaction read as you being a terrible hookup? Totally. You are expecting this person to be a toy to only deliver your needs. That’s fine if that’s the arrangement. He does not seem to be into your vibe.

    Edit: lol, I was alerted this was not a favorable comment. I tried to put it nicely that maybe this person has a partner that isn’t actually interested. Or maybe they just are a shitty sexual partner.

    Denying that those possibilities exist isn’t helpful and honestly fucking weird. Some people are bad at things. That includes intimacy.

    He’s got his cake and eat it too… men like this don’t deserve your time. Sounds like this is fwb situation, and he is not friendly… I would definitely cut the benefits.

    It sounds like he was being selfish and mean. You’re allowed to be upset about that, even if it’s not how he usually behaves. You shouldn’t get in the habit of making excuses for people when they treat you badly.Ā

    Some males are afraid of toys, it’s some weird ego thing. Any guy that isn’t interested in your pleasure is one you should block. Why be intimate if you aren’t getting anything good out of it?Ā

  14. itsgivingnontipper Avatar

    Have you both established that this is strictly fwb? If so, then that still does not give him the excuse to all of the sudden start acting like an ahole. You’re not overreacting. Before the next time you meet up, bring it up that you noticed an attitude shift in him last time, allow him to explain (if he chooses; if he doesn’t then I’d rethink this) and that in order to continue whatever arrangement you both agree to that you won’t tolerate it going forward.

  22. CalidriaKing Avatar

    10-hour drive or not, relationships mean you’ll be tired, cranky, or distracted at times. But that’s not an excuse for unsupportive or judgmental behavior from a partner that makes you feel low, especially in bed when you’re most vulnerable. It sounds like you’re a generous person and willing to make excuses for his failure to reciprocate or even consider your feelings. This is who he is and not something you did. Listen to your heart babe, it’s warning you something’s not right here.

    “I don’t want to touch your vibrator” is a line that would make me think he thinks it’s dirty, and me, by extension. I don’t need to be feeling like I’m doing the walk of shame. If he said something like “I’m sorry, I’m just too tired”, it would be different.

    Woman to woman, go with your gut. YOU are not a toy, even in FWB agreement. I’ve had lovers that were benefits-only, and damn I better be getting benefits or why bother. I’m a pleaser, too, but most of the men I’ve hooked up make sure I get mine. The one that didn’t, and was rude about it, well I didn’t call him again, lol.

  30. questionably_edible Avatar

    I’m… confused, honestly. He asks you to go down on him, and you respond by ignoring the request and asking him to finger you. Maybe his response to that was because, according to your post, you didn’t even acknowledge his request. He did finger you after you acknowledged his request.

    The vibrator thing seems dumb to me, but he doesn’t want to touch the competition, I guess. It’s whatever. He’s communicating what he’s comfortable with doing (even if I think it’s illogical) at least.

    He just got done from 10 hours of driving which can be a cranky making experience, so that might explain some of his irritability.

    Honestly what I hear more in your post is that your partner doesn’t reciprocate your same sexual energy and that bums you out. You say you get so much more pleasure giving than receiving, yet this post really states that’s not the case in truth. Which is fine, but I think you need to be willing to be studier with what you actually want and communicate better. If you wanted to get fingered first before giving head, then say that. If you weren’t interested in giving head at all, then say that.

    Maybe the guy is a tool and if that’s the case, ditch his ass and find another fuck buddy. You literally could be in the most wrong rn (I don’t think that but for example) and you’d be just fine moving along.

    Not everyone deserves access to you…Once they start to show you who they are, expect that the behaviour will not change…. You’re not being overly sensitive AT ALL. You deserve better.

    Set boundaries about how you can and cannot be talked to in bed and if he continually pushes that reconsider the connection

  33. PhantomCruze Avatar

    Playing the devil’s advocate here, he’s probably just tired, had a shit day and was in a crap mood

    Obviously unfair to take it out on you, and I’m not saying it’s right. But just providing a possible explanation

    No such thing as “too much” communication. Give it some time to cool down, have fresh minds and kindly bring it up, and how it felt unusual in his behavior.

    Some people are also just plain picky. I know plenty of girls who’d never wanna touch a guy’s flashlight, as people are totally allowed preferences in sexual activities.

    So long story short, any relationship, be it platonic, romantic or sexual, will have sacrifices and needs to make a few changes for. It’s just a matter of communicating a balance between them

    Whether or not you are romantically involved sex requires mutual respect. Trust your feelings about this; you are not being too sensitive

    You can do it on your own? Then why do you need him? Tell him to suck his own dick. If you’re gonna have a fwb, find one who will touch you without waiting to be asked, who tells you to bring your toys so he can take care of you.

    He’s a jerk. If he’s too tired he should jack off and sleep like any decent horny guy, not call you like a service.

    And you need to consider your ā€˜I’m a giver’ attitude, reciprocation is key to being appreciated too – if you don’t want to attract selfish AHs consider learning to take also.

    In general, women often don’t know what to take or how in bed, that takes experience. Just food for thought, that ā€˜conclusion’ you’re a giver and that makes this kind of guy ok maybe limiting you.

    Dude is emotionally petty, negotiating things instead of being generous.

    It may be just a fluke, you either give him another chance (but check the signs) or flat out tell him you didn’t like it. But be prepared for him to double down on pettiness and go DARVO on you.

    Girl, you can’t expect that much from a guy you’re just hooking up with. Properly date and find someone who loves you for you. The sex will be 1000000 times more enjoyable. He’ll actually care about you, connecting with you and giving you the pleasure you want.

    I wouldn’t be able to sleep with this person again.

    I get that you’re just hooking up and it’s not a relationship, but I still believe some level of care and consideration should be involved in hooking up, esp if you’re doing it regularly. This guy sounds like he doesn’t have any of that for you, and you’re essentially just a human masturbation device for him. Him being tired probably meant he couldn’t really pretend and his real feelings are showing.

    I wouldn’t continue sleeping with him personally. He sounds like a selfish dick and nothing special. You can have better hook up experiences with other people.

  59. randonumero Avatar

    I don’t think you’re being too sensitive. He was essentially telling you that he doesn’t care about your satisfaction and is only interested in what you will do for him. FWIW he technically could have sucked himself off. Can you imagine the look on his face if you’d have told him he could do that on his own?

  60. IcedFyre742 Avatar

    This is a FWB situation. More often than not after a while it becomes blatantly obvious who is getting more out of it. You’re wanting intimate acts in a purely physical transaction. My suggestion is to ghost this guy you’re hooking up with and find a person who wants intimacy with you not just sex.

  61. TappyMauvendaise Avatar

    As a woman, never ever participate in hookup culture. Sex without safety is traumatic for women. He’s just using you. Rule is to only have sex with men that genuinely care about you and are in love with you.

  64. spewforth Avatar

    Really feel like the comments are blowing his responses out of proportion tbh. Yeah sounds like he was a bit short, and that’s far from ideal, but with the context he was tired from a 10 hour drive I think we can probably cut the guy a touch of slack before we jump straight to him being a selfish lover and a tool.

    The fingering thing could have been more “I want to be free to fully enjoy what you are doing to me, and then I am happy to reciprocate” than not wanting to do the act at all. Sometimes people like to be only giving, or only receiving, than doing both at the same time. It sounds like he was a little short about it, but I wouldn’t immediately jump from this to him being selfish in bed, unless it’s a pattern which from the post it sounds like it isn’t.

  65. Known-Distance-2061 Avatar

    This guy does not actually like or respect you. The mask is coming down and he’s revealing his true nature. Deep down he’s not actually interested in your pleasure or needs. He’s placed you as a certain category/role in his mind and is using you purely to get his needs met. Even if he manages to engage in conversation with you treating you decent enough otherwise, or seemed ok at the start, he’s simply playing the social game to get what he wants. Some men are masterful at this. It’s not the 10 hr drive. He just doesn’t care to place effort where it doesn’t seem to benefit him and he seemed annoyed because HE WAS annoyed. Girl don’t ignore what you’re picking up from him because he may have been nicer prior or rationalize some excuse. He’s a dick.

    And please for the love of god don’t subject yourself to being used by him again. You deserve someone who is also equally and always enthusiastic about your pleasure, even as a giver. Move on. Enjoy intimacy with someone worthy. This guy is a dud.
    If he reaches out to hook up just say thanks but no thanks it was fun but you weren’t really feeling into the vibe last time or that you don’t feel you’re an ideal match and leave it at that.
    Ghost.
    He’ll play naive but he knows damn well.

    I haven’t read your post yet, but I’m going too immediately answer ā€œno, you’re not being too insensitive.ā€ Women are often told this as a way to make them accept abuse. If it’s sending off alarm bells, it’s important. Listen to your gut on these things, it keeps you safe. I will now read your post to see if you are genuinely being to sensitive. I’ll report back.

    Editing: I read the post, and I was right. You’re not being too sensitive, you’re just being used. Although I’m relieved that it wasn’t outright abuse like I was concerned. You can do waaaaaay better.

    I am shook at these comments. People – this is a hookup. Not a boyfriend, not a fuck buddy… simply, a hookup.

    This dude doesn’t sound like he’s much into pleasing, but – what’s his requirement to?

    My best hookup advice is to discuss everything you want beforehand. If you want head or want fucked, make sure that’s on the table – don’t go there and expect it to happen and find out the other person isn’t wanting it at all.

    You can tell a sexually insecure man by how he reacts to a woman’s vibrator being part of the sexual session

    His request for oral first may be a sign he’s a selfish lover.

    You decide if these are deal breakers or not. It’s not about being sensitive or not. It’s what you choose is important in a lover

  81. Total-Significance55 Avatar

    You should talk to him and tell him that he made you feel uncomfortable or unwanted. If he is well adjusted this will benefit both of you and If he is not at least you know why not to waste time on him.

    Yes it’s possible that it was just him being tired, but he should have communicated that and his needs before asking you to come over. Sometimes it’s totally ok to make another person happy after a long day, it can even be rewarding, but it needs to be communicated clearly and you should be payed time and effort back.

    No matter how casual this is, you are still obligated to respect each other, as is with all human interaction.
