My boyfriend struggles with intimacy issues and self esteem issues. I’m just curious how many other men struggle with this and how that affects your relationships and what I can do to help him.
I have a small penis, so I kinda can relate. But my height is more of a deterrent towards women than being under seven inches, so I really don't care about it as much. When I was briefly dating (shallow materialistic women; not that I ever gave them any money or gifts or anything), I had to get really good at oral, cause being below seven meant penetration wasn't going to make them happy.
For him, I suggest you teach him how to get good at oral, or maybe even teach him how to use sex toys, if he doesn't find that totally emasculating. He may not even have a small penis; but it should still work all the same.
I really struggle with self esteem and confidence, so much so I put myself down further and further and it doesn't help.
To be honest, there isn't much you can do because we have to change it. All I could say is maybe be loving and caring, take your time with him and reassurance if you want to stay long term together! Over time he'll hopefully grow out of his shell!
But persistence is key
be available and don't push him
be a safe space but don't smother him
I’m struggling with it, I’m going to therapy
