Who is more open to try new things in the bedroom? you or your partner?

Contributor: Deidrenicole Deidrenicole
I am constantly trying to find new and exciting things to do and try in the bedroom to make our relationship more exciting. My boyfriend on the other hand is weirded out by it and doesn't understand why I wanna do these things. I just want to know if men or women are more likely to try to spice things up than the other and also if anyone else has the same issue.

My boyfriend is really embarrassed by sex. Whenever I mentions anything he turns beet red and trys to shift the conversation even if he is interested in it. I usually try to explain why I want to try new things and start him off slowly with whatever I want to try. For example when I wanted to try light bondage play the first time I just had him keep has hands on the headboard rather than ties. Now I'm slowly introducing him to more advanced things. It can be really difficult for me cause I move into things FAST but he's like a sloth.

Just make sure to keep comunication open. Ask him if there's anything he wants to try or if he shoots down and idea of yours ask him why.

My husband doesn't get why I want to try things at all. If I buy lingerie he doesn't understand why I get so excited about it because to him it's "just clothes" I feel sexy when I wear it and that's all that matters to me.

For experimenting; he DID NOT like the idea of me trying sex toys at all and is still not comfortable with toys that can be inserted. So I buy toys that are either strictly clit vibe's or aren't shaped like a real penis. That leaves me with a lot that I can't try. He's even made the comment before about a rabbit I tried that real men can't rotate and spin like that.

With light bondage items, he's asked me why would I want to try this or that.

I want to be tied up, gagged, smacked around, made to do things (even though I'd be willing), banged so hard, and then some. However my partner is not interested in most of this. He just tells me it is not his nature. He told me to find a girlfriend who wants it.

My husband was the one who introduced me to trying new things, toys and watching porn--and unfortunately for both of us, it took more time than it should have, but I am ON IT now!! And now we both keep coming up with new ideas, toys, and experiences. I had no idea our sex life could be so amazing, fun and naughty!! I am just as or a little bit more into it as he is, depends on what aspect we are into at the moment!!

I am more into introducing new toys and whatnot into the bedroom to my fiance, who is more "old fashioned"

I love to do new things in bed but my wife takes a little more coaxing on some things.

I love bringing in new toys or styles or things, but my partner although interested doesn't really push for it, he is good with anything, he would never pull out the toys, and wouldn't incorporate them unless I did.

Very rarely does my partner suggest something new but he is usually a willing participant to my "crazy" ideas.

He's a bit on the shy side so if anything new is going to be tried there's an 80% chance I'll have to be the one introducing it.
Now and then he gets some pretty wild ideas though. =^.^=

I know exactly what you mean. Try something small like I did. Maybe when your in the moment just start having him put his hands on your butt. Just make sure to keep communication open. It can take awhile to get them to try something new but once they do it's worth it

she is willing to try new things, but she is really shy about talking about sex in general. i am almost always the person to bring stuff up, or ill just do things and go off her reaction as to whether or not she likes it

I'm usually the one to suggest new ideas/toys/lingerie, etc. but my girlfriend is usually down for whatever and she comes up with some pretty awesome stuff, too.

Its all me, i think the only way i could even get him to notiv=ce i want to try new things is dress as slave Leia and then talk to him. Maybe if i did that and told him he had to listen or no sex with slave leia hed listen......sad but true.

I'm the one who's usually pushing the envelope forward. The wife is pretty open-minded, but isn't the one thinking of new things.

My boyfriend is willing to try new things, but he doesn't really care. He thinks things are fine how they are. I see it as things are always the same.

My boyfriend of 4 years has never had much of a sex drive yet alone the desire to try new things. It's something that's really pulling us a part. He seems so closed off to anything other than missionary or receiving oral. If I do introduce something new, it seems like he'd rather be doing something else. He says he's just never been into sex. Reading some of these other comments gives me hope though!

We both love trying new things. Sometimes one of us is more creative than the other though.

Definitely me. My man does enjoy using toys on me and other things that I want to try (that involve doing things to me), but he won't let me use things on him or try things that involve doing things to him (that he's not used to).
