I think it depends very much on communication between the two of you. Not necessarily an easy feat for many of us dyspraxic guys and many of us may not have been as lucky with the opposite sex. Take comfort that you are getting some practice but be discreet about it!

In my own experience (and probably others' too) fears about what is expected or how to initiate if one is actually aware that she is actually a potential partner holds a lot of us back!

If there are no complaints and you are getting asked for repeat performances I think you can afford to be a bit more confident. At the very least you are responding to and thinking about what she wants.

I agree! I find doing any type of movement quickly and repetitively is difficult. .especially in the bed room

Hi I'm new to this site, I've joined looking to get some advice really. I've recently (3 months) started dating a guy who is dyspraxic, he's 44 and told me almost immediately about his condition, myself being a student nurse immediately did a bit of research and I have to say was not too worried and didn't want it to be an issue, however a few months in we have started being intimate and there clearly is a serious problem. He is clearly very inexperienced and has no idea about sexual intimacy or the act itself, we've spoken about it and I've tried to reassure him that I am willing to go on this journey with him but he's worrying that I'll finish our relationship if he tries again to have sex..has anyone got any advice on what I can do to help him gain some confidence and knowledge, or what he can do to help himself? Don't wanna be crude but I'm desperate to be physically intimate with him as I really like him and care for him and want our relationship to move on albeit at his pace of course. Thanks. 8-[

Us dysperaxics have a habit of waiting for the green light for mostly everything just tell him we can be intimate infact id love to have sex with you more often don't be scared to start the process he should eventually be come more confident am not confident but I stil have sex just takes getting used to we find it hard with fast ir controlled movement so practice some positions that require minimum effort

He's a lucky guy!

I'd go with what Johndom suggests in that you need to make sure he knows when he has the green light. As an inexperienced guy myself, I think part of it is he most probably believes there is an expectation that he has to know what he is doing to please you. But he is at the same terrified about his lack of experience and that he may do something wrong/hurt you and that you will soon lose patience and find a new man

Has he spoken about what has gone wrong in the past? I would guess there is a fear of being judged and just as bad a fear of the feeling he might be.

Trying to think of things I'd want my future girlfriend to do to help build my confidence and ideas of post its notes detailing things you'd like him to do.

Creating a sort of user manual for yourself?

mutual self play sessions to build up to intercourse?

Erotic not pornographic books/films - not the unrealistic stuff he might have seen online.

I would say humour but there is a danger that we dyspraxic guys can take stuff too literally at times.

All the best and I hope it works out for you both.

Coming from a somewhat experienced guy in the sex department, I agree that we dyspraxics need the green light for the okay. I lost my virginity at 16, and many of my relationships are from girls taking an interest in me first. I'm pretty shy in the outside world, I would never chat up a woman at a night club or anywhere for that matter. The relationships I've had are from girls coming on to me, that's the green light for me and that's all I need. Because I was having sex so often in my teenage years, with many different girls, I got used to what girls liked and disliked. So I eventually got pretty damn good at sex and never had complaints, and most even complimented that they enjoyed it. I'm 25 now, and I've been in love 5 times, and have had sex with about 30 different girls, that's not much I know especially considering all my mates have a much higher number. But I'm more about relationships now than I was in my teenage years. More to the point, just go slow with him, and he'll eventually get the swing of things, and of what you like and dislike.

Thanks for the advice guys....a few weeks on and I'm pleased to say we have moved on a little further with a little persuasion, each time being that little better... ;) I've reassured him that I'm willing to be patient and help him build his confidence and have invested in a couple of books for us both (his homework he calls it..lol). Practice makes perfect as they say. :banana: Cheers.x

Hi and welcome
I'm not sure many people would have the courage to be as open and honest about personal difficulties of this nature. To my knowledge, you're the first to openly disclose so I have to say I've no idea how prevalent your condition is within the general population and various sub-groups.

Have you discussed this and treatment options with your wife and/or Doctors/staff who dispense your testosterone?

It's possible that if anyone has related or similar experiences, they might prefer/choose to communicate using this site's Private Messaging functions. Please respect the fact that people might not feel comfortable discussing conditions of this nature.

Please can anyone immediately contact the moderator team should they receive anything that is in any way abusive or upsetting so that we can respond accordingly.
