AITAH for adjusting my boundaries after my new partner tells me he doesn’t give oral

r/

I 31f have been dating a guy 34m for just over two months and we started having sex about a month ago. We’ve had sex 3 times and I noticed each time he wouldn’t perform oral on me. I plucked up the courage on the last time to ask why that is out of genuine curiosity to which he answered ‘I’m religious/reserving that for my wife’.

A few bits of context to flesh out the story:
– I had given him head on two separate occasions (which he didn’t protest) before asking him this question.

  • Before we started having sex I asked him to do a full STI test. I came over one day and he started to initiate sex. I asked him if he had done the test and he was like “no but I have it here (it was a home kit) and i promise I’ll do it don’t you trust me”. He did the test In front of me and promised he’d send it off to the lab the next day. We ended up having sex that night after quite a lot of pressure from him. I didn’t enjoy it and felt stupid for not upholding my boundaries. I also felt panicked about the truth of his STI status. it was the only thing I’d put my foot down about and it had fallen through. It was consensual but I felt a bit violated. He did eventually return me clean results

  • when he returned the clean test results I got on the pill and we had condomless sex. he finished inside me (at his request) multiple times the second and third time we had sex

  • I haven’t climaxed once in the bedroom with him as of yet, he has multiple times

  • he has been my only sexual partner, I didn’t share this with him at first but I did tell him after. He did know I was very inexperienced but I didn’t go into specific detail about number of partners

I found it quite jarring to hear him talk about reserving oral for his ‘wife’ because he let me give him oral twice knowing that was his stance. I feel like I’ve been quite trusting and done very intimate things with him and, while he’s free to make any choice he wants regarding the kind of sex he wants to give, it makes me question how he views me. It’s made me feel a bit used and foolish to be honest, especially considering how he didn’t return clean results before our first time together and I’d stressed for weeks how important that was to me.

I’ve told him moving forward I won’t be performing oral anymore which he protested, and that there will be no more condomless sex to which he responded that I’m playing tit for tat and that his choice is to do with him being ‘religious’ so it’s different. I’m starting to feel like I don’t even want to have sex with him again while I mull this over to be honest.

I do like him but he makes me feel like a tool that exists for his pleasure in the bedroom. It’s sad because we otherwise get on quite well but I feel like this has kind of put a timer on the relationship. I’m not reaching orgasm, there’s barely any foreplay, my boundaries have been played with while he’s had his cake and ate it too.

Am I the asshole for feeling upset and withdrawing from sex with him completely after this

    He is just being so selfish with his intimacy and you are being too giving.

    Reserving oral for his wife?

    There is no religious text that I know of that says you need to reserve oral sex for marriage. It tends to work the other way around that penetrative sex is held for marriage.

    He’s just being a jerk.

    Get a boyfriend who is interested in your pleasure and not just his.

    NTA, but it doesn’t sound like the two of you are compatible. You’re constantly being pressured into doing things you don’t want to do and the things you ask for are being ignored or excused, and that’s not fair. It doesn’t sound like he really cares about your opinion or boundaries, and if it’s like this now then I doubt it will get better down the line.

    Besides, I’m not sure what religion allows you to have sex and receive oral, but you’re not allowed to give it. Sounds a bit odd, imo.

  4. Nacho_Libre_0075 Avatar

    Absolutely NTA. Simply put, he is gaslighting you by using some fictional religious exemption that condemns oral sex by a man on a woman, yet freely allows all other forms of sexual gratification that benefit him?!? It sounds like he is also using your innocence in this area against you as well. My suggestion would be to stand your ground with your demands, or simply move on. You are so young, and there are SO many great things that will come to you in this life. Don’t settle, and don’t let guys like him take advantage of how seemingly innocent you are.

    NTA. He’s being a dick. Coercion is still sexual assault, he coerced you into sex that first time, and then into allowing creampies. He’s literally awful and you know that or you wouldn’t have posted about him so negatively. Throw the relationship in the garbage where it belongs. 

    I hope your next partner isn’t a selfish twat-waffle.

    NTA tell him you’re reserving condomless sex and oral for your husband. He’s also using you for sex and not satisfying you because he knows you don’t know any better due to your inexperience. Don’t sleep him anymore.

    NTA… it’s pretty rich for him to claim it’s “for his wife” when he already let you go down on him twice, huh? Maybe his real issue is he can’t handle pleasuring a woman as much as he wants to get. Either way, it sounds like he’s just trying to avoid intimacy and you deserve better.

    I mean, seriously, what kind of “religion” says save oral for marriage but no such rules for penis in vagina? Smells fishy to me… like he’s using some half-baked belief as an excuse to get out of pleasing his partner. You’ve already given him so much and all he can do is whine about this? Get a new boyfriend who actually cares about your needs and pleasure.

    He’s being selfish and it sounds like you’re more of a tool for pleasure to him.

    Honestly, you deserve better and should be treated with respect in and out of the bedroom. Personally, I’d leave him now and move on. You need someone who will respect you and your wishes to the fullest. The fact that he didn’t even have results for you, and pressured you, after you made it clear how important it was to you is a big red flag.

    He’s a selfish jerk using a flimsy excuse to make you believe he will do something you want if you stick around.  I think it’s called stringing you along.  He wants to bust a nut and will tell you whatever he has to in order to keep raw dogging you. FYI I hope you watched him to take the test sample.  I’d be wondering if it was actually his specimen at the point.

    Yeah. I was raised in a super conservative “non-marital sex is going to destroy your life, but ladies your husband needs it so once you get married you best get your submission on” Christian denomination.

    Theres no religious practice like that. NTA.

    I think you should break up with him. Decent men care about your orgasm as much or more than their own.

    But before you do I would act super interested in his religion. Ask for him to teach you. Ask to go to church with him. Ask to study the scriptures his beliefs come from. The real reason for this bs will come to light real fast (spoiler alert, he doesn’t want to so he won’t).

  29. sysdmn Avatar

    You should have stopped and left him at the “a lot of pressure from him” step. This is a terrible way to start a relationship. Call the whole thing off and try with someone else. Relationships are not always easy but they aren’t supposed to be this difficult at the beginning.

  30. KamoteViejo Avatar

    NTA, sounds like you’re not compatible in bed, specially if its only him getting off.

    The fact that there is no foreplay is a clear factor of him just pleasuring himself off of you. Foreplay is a MUST, women can’t get off as easily and as fast as guys do because it takes soooo much more stimulation than just penetrating.

    Its your body, your choices, you get to dictate what acts to play during sex. Just like he does.

  31. GenericName2025 Avatar

    The way you describe it, it seems like you’re tit for tat, but that’s not the issue here.
    Why are you even with him? Seriously, I don’t get why women let themselves be exploited by religious nutjobs under the pretense of their religion. To many religions, women are second class citizens at best, and to your bf you obviously are too.

    Kudos 👏 for upholding your boundaries even if you may have slipped them initially. Doesn’t make any difference. Now they are made clear, and it says a lot about this guy’s character from his response to your boundries made manifest. I don’t see the meaningfulness of trying to figure out the alleged discrepancy between him sharing and holding his own boundry about cullingus and your own approach to felatio. That happened due to ignorance on both of your parts, but now ignorance has been cleared away. I hope this man can engage maturely with your boundries. You deserve it.

  38. Comfortable-Focus123 Avatar

    NTA – Pretty sure the religious angle is completely made up. He just does not want to do it. And if you are not getting sexual pleasure, this sounds like a one sided relationship. Think you deserve better.

  39. rumncoco86 Avatar

    NTA.

    You’ve described your partner getting the kind of intimacy he wants throughout the entire relationship, without seemingly caring about your needs and desires.

    I think your issues are more than you just establishing new boundaries to stick up for yourself, though.

  40. RevolutionaryRecept Avatar

    NTA – I’ve never heard of that stipulation before in my life, so I honestly bet he assumes he can lead you on till marriage, do it once, then never again and then he tries to play it off as “what a trivial thing to divorce me over”.

    I’d just get the conversation over with ‘ow “if you don’t want to give oral, say it now so I can see if I think we’ll work out.” Don’t wait 5 years hoping for the best out of someone you met 2 months ago.

  41. StudentOfThisLife Avatar

    Oh, Sis, your boundaries are perfectly reasonable given his outrageous attempt at justification. If he can’t accept that, then he’s not good enough for you. Also, he needs to make sure you also climax, every time.

    He may be your first sexual partner, but if he refuses to give as much as he receives, then he shouldn’t get to be your last partner.

    So you had a boundary of no sex before testing which he was happy to ignore but his boundary of no oral before marriage has to be rigidly enforced. How do you know he isn’t lying to you and just hates oral? I would now institute a boundary of no more sex before marriage and see how he responds.

    Oh hell no not the AH. I actually insist on giving oral for awhile before we move on to penetrative sex. I mean like potentially a few times together where it is just making out and me going down on her without asking for reciprocation. I want to learn her body for awhile and even then would always do an STI test without asking before even condom or condom less sex. He is totally using you and you should bounce. If he doesn’t go down when just making out or working the bases and expects you do that for him. Girl get real.

  54. Euphoric_Kumquat6139 Avatar

    Actually, he got to have his cake without even putting in the effort of eating it. Anyway…

    NTA. Many men will make any excuse in the book to not go down on a woman at all or at any given time. Every sexual partner I have now is told my rule in advance. No head, no head. You climax, I better get your best effort at getting me there. Plain and simple. And, I stick to it. That’s the important part. I don’t always reach climax, but as long as the effort was put forth, I’ll continue seeing them.

  55. HymenBreaka Avatar

    Wait, that guy is saying he never in his life performed oral on a woman, as he is waiting for marriage? He is 34 years old. And the reason is “religion”? LMAO
    I’m impressed you didn’t go “huh wait a minute” while writing this all out followed by “nah I’m definitely not the asshole and I should break off this relationship”.
    Also, it’s concerning you let yourself be pressured into having sex, without upholding your boundaries, that is not consensual, and if you feel violated, that is exactly because it was non-consensual.

    Regarding oral, it is as simple as that, some people prefer not to engage in oral, and it’s their choice. That needs to be respected. You need to look for another partner, if it’s important to you. However, you cannot expect the other person to engage in oral, if you don’t do the deed yourself. So I can totally understand that you want to stop that. And I think that’s the right thing to do.

    Anyway, if he doesn’t get you to climax with his “experience” he has to find another way, use toys or his hand. Someone with experience would know that both have to feel good, and selfishness just doesn’t work out here.

    You need to find someone else. There are plenty of men out there who want to give you orgasms.

    Sweetie, the only tool here is him. Nobody saves oral for their spouse. If anything they save sex for their spouse, but do everything else. Seems like he just doesn’t like going down on girls and that’s fine, but don’t lie about it, ya know? This doesn’t sound like a compatible relationship. He’s sounds like a taker, and he will take everything you’ll give him leaving you with nothing. I’m sure you didn’t make the decision to sleep with him lightly, so I feel bad for you that he hasn’t been a generous partner in the bedroom. If I were you, I’d go ahead and end this now before you get too invested in him. He doesn’t sound worth it to me.

Happy to receive head, but not give it “before marriage”. No interest in your satisfaction. This should be when he is on his best behaviour, trying to give you the very best impression of who he is.

    If he is a selfish jerk at this point it is only going to get worse. Unless he has other major redeeming features I’d bin him. To be fair, I think you should bin him regardless but that’s your decision.

    If he’s truly religious, he would be a virgin til marriage. What a load of bullshit. He doesn’t want to please you. Just himself. And then after marriage, you’ll find out he lied, he still doesn’t want to do oral or foreplay or any of it.

  66. Apprehensive_Yam73 Avatar

    …he’ll have sex before marriage but not oral? 🤨

    Ah. Now I see. You saying that you’ve given him oral and that he hasn’t protested proves that he’s making up an excuse because he just wants to receive and not give.

    I would not trust a home kit. Tell him to get professionally tested. Also, be aware that there’s no HPV test for men and go get the vaccine if you haven’t already. Cervical cancer is no joke. The strains of HPV that cause cancer usually have no visible symptoms.

    Use. A. Condom. BC does not protect against STDs and by itself is not as good at preventing pregnancy as you might think. He may try to baby trap you. Make your partner wear a condom for the love of yourself and whatever you believe in.

    He pressured you into sex. He’s trash. Leave him. Let me be clear…to quote a male friend of mine: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no.” If someone pressures you into sex, that’s not true consent, it is coercion and a type of SA (unfortunately you can’t prove it in court). Consent needs to be freely, explicitly given and can be withdrawn at ANY time. If he’s already inside you and you feel uncomfortable and say STOP and he doesn’t listen, that is SA. If you safe word and he ignores it that is SA. Period. Full stop.

    You changing your boundaries does NOT make you an AH. He doesn’t respect you and just wants to use you. It’s reasonable for you to feel used and violated right now. Find a good counselor to help you with your feelings and break up with this douche canoe. And get an STD test and the HPV vaccine pronto!

    You’re not compatible with each other. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s been 2 months in this relationship and you’re already not happy. Get out and run. 

    Even if he were to do oral on you, you’re not going to forget this. There’s something mentally wrong in his reasoning and you should definitely take this as the warning it is. Go find yourself man who wants nothing more than to give you all the orgasms.

  69. Dana07620 Avatar

    I think you should dump him.

    But even if you don’t, you should definitely tell him that he’s never made you come once. So until he figures out a way for him to give you pleasure, you won’t be giving him any. And the next time you start making love, he needs to get you off first or he’ll be finishing himself off with mother thumb and her four little helpers. And do not let him insert in his penis in any part of your body until after you’ve come. Get up and walk away if you have to. And if he pushes it, that’s rape.

    Because a sex life where you never achieve orgasm but he always does isn’t going to cut it anymore for you.

    Also, as others have said, that religious stuff is just bullshit. Besides, he’s the type that wouldn’t give his wife oral either. NTA

    He pressured you into sex and actively ignored boundaries. You don’t enjoy the sex. His excuses are lame, and he sues you look a tool (your words). Whatever you “like”, I’m sure you can find in plenty of other guys who check a lot more boxes.

    What religion? Did you ask? I’m guessing you did, and he dodged the question since you didn’t post it here.

    You know this relationship sucks. It isn’t worth it. Just get out. Find someone who cares and makes you happy.

  74. FallOdd5098 Avatar

    Hi OP,

    He’s not suddenly going to become a devotee of cunnilingus once you hit the arbitrary (as far as relevant to this) milestone of marriage. It’s just going to be too late for you to back out when he still isn’t giving you any.

    That’s even assuming that marriage to you, which it seems you are open to down the line, is something he is even considering. Given the utter lack of concern he is showing for your needs, it is pretty likely he is seeing you as just something ‘for now’.

    Oral sex if anything is the half-way point to sex for those abstinently-inclined, not the other way around. He is full of shit.

    He is a selfish lover, figures he can manipulate you because you are less experienced, and has unashamedly been fairly successful so far.

    How people treat each other in relation to sex is a pretty good litmus test for how they are going to roll in all other aspects of the relationship. This guy is not going to change.

    Your reasonable relationship needs are not being met, and he will not meet them in future. If anything, he will or should be showing his best self in the first couple of months, this is the honeymoon period.

    You are only a couple of months in. Cut your losses, life is short.

    You got tested to protect him from you causing him harm.
    You got on the pill so sex could feel better for him, more effort and enjoyment for him.
    You performed oral sex so he could enjoy that experience.
    You have made sure he orgasmed
    You have communicated that you have felt not treated well or fairly in several ways and that boundaries were manipulated and not respected or honored.

    He has done the opposite in everyone of these examples.
    Didn’t get tested beforehand for your safety
    Don’t care about what feels good for you or gets you off
    Didn’t reciprocate sexual acts and efforts
    Didn’t communicate fairly, instead tried to guilt you for having boundaries, needs, and requests equal to his, AGAIN!

    I do not believe this can work. It seems like he is very selfish in the bedroom. I highly doubt he is suddenly going to be going down on anyone once they are trapped in a legally binding marriage with him. Instead they’ll be trapped caring for a child and being treated like a sex dispenser machine.

    The way it’s making you feel is exactly how it is and how he sees you. He sees you as a tool that exists for his pleasure.
    I am not much familiar with Scientology so I can’t say no religion says reserve oral for wife but ok to fornicate otherwise. But the whole religion thing is bs

    So you’re a 31 year old virgin who suddenly has sex and knows what oral and all the foreplay u want is?

  90. JS6790 Avatar

    NTA. You gave in and slept with him anyway. You fucked up your boundary and the relationship by going back on it. Just end it and walk away.

  91. East-Bake-7484 Avatar

    NTA. I’m so sorry, but he’s not treating you well and you deserve better. Please break up with him.

  92. calminthedark Avatar

    NTA He pressured you into sex, despite not observing the one boundary you had put in place. He could have been tested, he just didn’t bother. He worked harder getting you to ignore your boundary than he did trying to comply with your extremely reasonable request. He is getting off yet is not putting any (not just oral) effort into returning the favor.

    He is not the one. Go find a man who will work with you to get you both those fireworks!

    NEVER F*CK SOMEONE NEW WITHOUT A CONDOM!!!! Home test kits are as stupid as you, I’m sorry to be rude but you have no boundaries to begin with.

    He will only perform oral on his wife? And that didn’t sound like a red flag to you?????? So his virgin wife-to-be sits in the Middle East or a christian cult and waits to by flown in or what? And you spread your legs to let him get what he wants. Congrats, good job!

    >We ended up having sex that night after quite a lot of pressure from him

    That makes me really angry, drop the victim shit, you’re 31 not 19. If someone new came along and would pressure me, I would pressure him – out of my door!

    Have some dignity and common sense please. It’s not about oral, it’s about self worth.

    He’s not saving it for his wife, he just doesn’t like to do it or doesnt know how to and gas lighting you in the process. Ditch him and get an upgrade or train him up.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Definitely NTA… but we all know who is!
    So many red flags:

    • his „excuse“ for not going down on you
    • his STD gamble
    • the inequality on the O counter
      If he doesn’t like to give oral, that might be ok, as long as he makes up for it with some alternative (your call!).
      I‘d guess there are couples where one partner likes to give head and the other one doesn’t… as long as both end up satisfied, it might still work.
      In your case that doesn’t seem to work that way.
      So unless you don’t care about getting satisfaction, I‘d have a serious talk with the guy.
      Sure… it will sound like a checklist… but then again: it seems like his checklist is completed whilst yours remains unchecked… every time!
      Life‘s too short to waste it on half-baked, selfish partners…
      This will most likely get worse and you‘ll end up resenting him.
      Get out of Dodge while you can!
      Stay safe & sane.
      I‘m rooting for you!

    NTA Your boundaries are yours to decide. I don’t know why you are wasting your time and energy on someone that seems to be a poor match for you. That has me stumped more that his odd reasons for not performing oral. Especially because his tantrums are disrespectful and he seems selfish. Like… why are you there?

  97. ira_zorn Avatar

    NTA. You should withdraw from him completely.

    Like, what are you doing dating a tool like that? You can do better.

    If he going to have sex at all, then religious reservation is out the window that boy is just making up shit to avoid it

  100. EvilSwerve Avatar

    Well isnt he just the perfect big red flag parade all by himself…

    “Before we started having sex I asked him to do a full STI test. I came over one day and he started to initiate sex. I asked him if he had done the test and he was like “no but I have it here (it was a home kit) and i promise I’ll do it don’t you trust me”. He did the test In front of me and promised he’d send it off to the lab the next day. We ended up having sex that night after quite a lot of pressure from him. I didn’t enjoy it and felt stupid for not upholding my boundaries. I also felt panicked about the truth of his STI status. it was the only thing I’d put my foot down about and it had fallen through. It was consensual but I felt a bit violated. He did eventually return me clean results” 🚩

    “when he returned the clean test results I got on the pill and we had condomless sex. he finished inside me (at his request) multiple times the second and third time we had sex” 🚩 (lemme guess, it didnt feel right wearing a condom… if you loved me you’d let me finish inside you etc etc etc)

    “I’m religious/reserving that for my wife” …. 👀 biggest load of bullshit ive had the misfortune to read …

    Girl, get gone … and get tested…

  101. OldGamerX79 Avatar

    Just dump his ass. He has no business being in a relationship if he is going to be this selfish and self righteous. The religious shit is just that. Bullshit. A man is supposed to make sure his partner gets off as well and if he is not striving for that then it shows his lack of concern for his partner. Just my humble opinion for a random person on the internet.

    I am so sorry! It sounds like you are a very nice partner to have and pleasant person in general with great communication skills and ready to commit to a romantic relationship. He, on the other end, does not. F* this guy, he is a hypocrite. I’d tell him and dump him. This is not set out to a good start. You will meet someone nice, I promise!

  104. bluemercutio Avatar

    He targeted you precisely because you’re unexperienced and he knew he could try his BS with you that a more experienced woman wouldn’t put up with.

    This is not a good man. You deserve better. You deserve someonewho at least tries to make you cum. A bad lover can learn how to be better in bed. A bad man will never care whether he is a bad lover or not.

    He pressured you into saying yes, thats not consentual. you feel violated because he did violate you.

    So he can be shit at oral with no practice for his wife.
    Great guy.

    Leave him and let him disappoint someone else

  109. ApprehensiveBook4214 Avatar

    So to recap:

    -he accepts oral sex, even protests it’s removal, but won’t give any

    -he doesn’t make sure you orgasm and have pleasure like he does

    -he pressures you into doing what he wants after you say no.  Several times.  This is coercion which is where the used feeling comes from.

    -his choices matter because they’re religious and yours don’t.  (Hint it’s because he didn’t make them)

    -he ‘s using your inexperience against you so you don’t realize how shitty he’s being 

    “…he makes me feel like a tool that exists for his pleasure in the bedroom..” He’s told you who he is.  A selfish asshole who only cares about his own pleasure.  That’s why you feel like a sex object.  Because that’s how he treats you.  NTA but please respect yourself and shut this shit down.  Enforce your boundaries on your way out of the relationship and find someone who wants an actual person, not a living sex toy.

    There’s enough red flags here for you to make a better choice than just withholding sex.

    Find someone else

  111. narrochwen Avatar

    NTA, but he is TA because it sounds like he doesn’t care about your needs and pressures you to get his met. I would cut my losses and break up with him and find someone that you are compatible with. I am speaking from experience because my kid’s dad and I weren’t and it created problems in the long run. Don’t waste your time on this man. Go find one that is worth your time because you deserve a person who cares about your needs as well.

    I’ve never heard of oral being reserved for a wife for religious reasons.. that sounds like an excuse not to do it.. my guess would be once he gets a wife.. married people don’t do that.

  116. Cutie3pnt14159 Avatar

    So… He’ll cum inside you, but not go down on you because religion?? This is bass-akwards.

    You’re only 2 months in. Just end it and move on. Find someone that will respect your boundaries and actually care about your pleasure as much as he does his.

  117. aussiewon Avatar

    to which he answered ‘I’m religious/reserving that for my wife’.

    Oh, he’s so full of shit. He’s just a selfish arsehole in bed.

  118. Suchafatfatcat Avatar

    So, in two months he has delayed completing a STI test, pressured you to have sex (before submitting the test), a failed to make sex enjoyable for you. I’m trying to understand why would consent to wasting any of your time with him. There are a lot of fish in the sea. Throw this one back. And, next time, reserve the best parts of you until the dude proves he is worth your effort. NTA

    Not playing tit for tat. He eroded your boundaries, and when you realized how shitty that felt (something like betrayal), you re-asserted those boundaries. Of course this manipulative man who thinks it’s ok to pressure women to have sεx they’re uncomfortable with, would say you’re in the wrong and play victim while continuing to pressure you to do things you’re uncomfortable with.

    For only 2 months in, these are MASSIVE red flags. Never ignore a manipulative streak. Look up DARVO (deflect, accuse, reverse victim offender).

    Please believe that not all partners are this callous, selfish, disrespectful, and shitty. You can do better. He’s going to pull this shit again and pressure you to do things you don’t want to again.
