I’m 20F, he’s 25M. We met in January and have been dating since last month. He’s already met my parents - they love him, and he hangs out at our house all the time. Literally no one has any issues with him, he’s super welcome here. I invited him to sleep over for a few days this week just for fun, but he said he’s not comfortable with it - apparently it feels too “intimate” for him? Like, he’s got this thing about doing private stuff with other people around. I just want him to relax a bit. We’re all adults here, and everyone knows people have private lives. How can I help him feel more okay with it?

    Are you seriously asking that about a 20/24 yo couple getting into bed for the entire night? Were you ever that age?

    If sex was off the table, I wouldn’t even go through with it. What’s the point? I’d just rather sleep alone, and avoid the entire night of blue balls.

      I did that as a 20 yr old. It’s not so crazy to put off sex one night at that age, especially with liberal parents. I think that if my parents had been strict, I may have taken every opportunity I could!
