    so what, i can't have good sex because i'm gay? that's ridiculous.

    That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the nature of our relationships is defined by our sexual orientation. If not, then it wouldn't matter what gender our partner is.

    exactly.
    there are many things that are surmountable, but if your partner doesn't turn you on, no chemistry...why bother? all sorts of 'issues' sexual or otherwise can be overcome, but one must at least start with a point of attraction.






    huh?
    given what little info is presented in the first, post, we're all assuming a lot. to me, no chemistry means no relationship. that doesn't equate no sex = end it all...it means no attraction left = end it all. as i stated above, even dire sexual problems can be overcome, whether 'new tricks' or whatever, but one must come from a point of attraction to their partner....physically AND mentally. sex starts in the brain. :) there is nothing selfish or superficial about that.

    I love your location ;) but I hope you dont mean it literally....

    sorry off topic...

    anyway - it depends what the person means to you. i think if your partner is bringing everything else to the table, you should teach them what you need. otherwise, move on...
    sometimes it is not just about the physical.

    Firstly, read the post before yours.

    Secondly, I sometimes wish people would decide there's no chemistry before committing. It's not that hard.



    again, lots os assumptions. we have NO idea how 'committted' a relationship this refers to, even if refers to a real-life relationship at all, or merely a convo-starter. i've read many a tish thread, and many seem simply to be interesting relationship-based discussions.

    if it indeed is a 'real-life' relationship, no way of knowing how 'committed' or for how long it is. and there are many, many factors to chemistry....the initial attraction, and if it lasts. one can be wildly attracted, and can still lose that in time. beyond the physical, many other factos can come into play for a partner 'not doing it for you' anymore....lots well beyond merely the physical. makes a BIG difference is this a two-week relationship or a two-year marriage, etc....as to whether one should find out indeed if it's salvageable, as well as finding out exactly just what 'not doing it for you' really means in this instance. lots and lots of unknowns here.

    i sometimes wish people would leave their judgements of others' relationships, commitments or lack thereof, to themselves as well. but as the stones sing, you can't always get what you want. :) if relationships, including chemistry 'wasn't that hard'...relationships wouldn't fail and all would live happily ever after eh? not real life there, at all. even relationships that stand the test of time....not always so easy, even with chemistry....

    yea....it's really a heart-wrenching tune, and location ;)...but wildly romantic at the same time.


    and...agreed! i think if someone is the love of your life, there is so much you would be willing to sacrafice and work through, no matter what...although even then, who knows? however, i tend to agree...there is soooo much MORE 'beyond the physical' in that equation as well. as to the OP, it's such a vague question, as most tish OPs seem to be ;)....just leaves it all wide open for vast interpretation. bottomline, 'not doing it for you'....never a good sign. hopefully can teach some new tricks, but so much of it is in the mind and hear...the real erogenous zones. many people can get you off, but i think only a choice few can truly get you OFF. and i shall leave it at that PG rating. :D

    Well I wonder if the guy( I assume it is a guy you mean, tish ) mentioned here is now posting somewhere that his girlfriend is like a starfish in bed?

    Communication is key.

    i thought you were saying she is a he. i am now even more confused.......:o

    I went back and did an edit to hopefully clear up the fact that I do know Tish is a girl. But man, my attempt at a little joke has now backfired :o

    Well there is an expression and while a guy might say it better is something to the effect of "she just lay there like a starfish"... not a compliment :p

    sorry to ruin your joke. :o i guess that's also why i didn't get it, i always thought starfish were assexual? so then i tried to take it somewhere...and yea, i just let my imagination run.............:p then i was simply confused entirely. hahaha.

    however, not that it helps your joke, but i get it now, finally..........:D

    btw


    even when your partner DOEs do it for you, and then some...i STILL think it's worthwhile to share some tricks, always makes it more fun! besides, knowledge and learning is always a good thing, yes? ;)

    No confusion here. :)

    oh and to answer the OP, well only you can know for sure whether to try to teach an old dog new tricks or get yourself a new dog. I guess if you're asking the question, then it's looking like time for a new dog. :)
    NOPE!!!

    starfish
    Female sexual partner who remains 'unmoved' during lovemaking, physically non-responsive (like a ...).
    In Charlie's Angels (the movie) Tom Green (whom has dated Drew Barrymore) refers to Drew's character as 'Starfish' (to wit she appears none-too-well-impressed).
    NOPE!!!

    Actually, you're right. Cold fish is not the term we're looking for.
