    Boyfriend not digging the sex?

    For some reason whenever my boyfriend and I have sex, I feel like he doesn't enjoy it.. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but his facial expression is pretty dull and he just looks bored.
    We have been together for two years and I used to think that it was because he was a virgin and I wasn't..

    Is it because I'm not "new"?

    I highly doubt that is the case. I see that men tend to get a glazed over look sometimes when they are in the mood, depending on the type of guy they are. Sometimes they go crazy with noises and grabbing and etc... Are you calm in bed? Perhaps you aren't seeing like you're enjoying it, or he doesn't want to hurt you...Or he just is a mellow slow kinda guy. Perhaps if you want to spice it up ask him if there is a fantasy he wants to try, orrrr suggest your own- most guys would be up for it, especially if you're like "hey i've been meaning to try "this" in bed? What do you think? Do you want to try anything?" ??
    and etc. HTH

      I think people's sex faces are pretty varied and don't necessarily convey exactly what they're feeling at the moment. I've seen guys faces look like their wincing, thinking really hard, in pain, constipated - pretty much the total opposite of what you'd expect pleasure to look like. I would imagine my sex face isn't exactly the sexiest either! I'm sure he's enjoying it. You could always try to engage him a bit, if you haven't already. Maybe in the moment ask if him if what you're doing feels good, if he's enjoying it, etc.

        I rarely show any facial expressions during sex. Doesn't mean I bored at all. It just the way I am. I don't even make noise except for occasionally when receiving oral. If you really want to know, just ask him. Then, depending on his responce, you go from there and hopefully grow together.

          If he says he enjoys the sex and he wants sex often enough, then take him at his word that he is enjoying the sex. Communicate with him more and ask about this.

              Some men are just not expressive during sex. Some guys talk the whole time, moan and grunt and other men you wouldn't even know they were awake until they come lol. Like thats the only time they make a sound If he was some rowdy guy before and all of a sudden is withdrawn thats a different issue...but if he's not very sexually experienced, it could be that he's just not comfortable with himself yet and is just keeping it all reserved/worried about sounding or feeling stupid etc.

              Does he try new things or is it usually you? Is he comfy talking about sex? If hes a sexually shy person , his sex is more likely to be quiet and reserved. I wouldn't worry if he has interest in being with you like that... but you can talk to him about wanting him to be more 'in the moment' with you... that you'd like him to say what feels good or to look in your eyes or kiss you or just all around engage more in the act.
