My girlfriend is furious with me because I refuse to have sex with her

Whether or not it's appropriate to say so, I'm in a lesbian relationship. How can I tell? As soon as we started dating, I informed her that I don't like sex. I'm looking for a long-term connection that doesn't involve sexual activity. She told me she felt the same way so, obviously I thought she wouldn't press the issue. Now that we've moved on, she and I were at a friend's house for a celebration. A few drinks in and she'd been hanging out with me for about two hours when she started being inappropriate. I escorted her out the room to make it clear that PDA was not acceptable in my presence. I can recall exactly what she said. "Your infidelity is obvious to me. Seeing how you flirt with other people, I can tell that you're a good person. Who are they with you? Yes, you most certainly are. Is it possible that you don't think I'm beautiful enough? What if you're afraid of getting into bed with me? The fact that you don't like sex proves that you're either a liar or some kind of crazy." Afterward, I felt horrible (although I was and am not cheating). Of course, I apologized and stated I hadn't realized she was that furious with me before. After that, she began to "feel me up," if I recall correctly. I yanked her away from me and yelled, "It's not the right time or place for this. We may discuss this further when we return." Just as I was about to go, she snatched my wrist and shouted, "Why are you such a prude?" as she forced me against the wall. We went back to the party since I didn't have an answer.

I'm having a hard time justifying her conduct. Was a little tipsy. I had hurt her sentiments by being insensitive to her. When she tried to be affectionate, I turned her down.

My questions are: How can I get this to stop happening? We're both girls, and slapping each other during a quarrel is commonplace. If I had wanted to, I could have slapped her in the face. However, I'm stumped when it comes to the subject of sex. That would make her feel that I'm not attracted to her or that I don't want her, but having sex with her is not an option for me. Isn't it better to simply have sex with her? I'd be grateful for any ideas you have! Thank you for taking the time to read this.

You made it clear from the start of your relationship that you were not interested in having sex with her, and she agreed. As a result, her behavior right now, whether she is intoxicated or not, is unacceptable. Your right to do anything you want with your body exists even if you haven't made it clear that you intend to do so. In order to have a successful relationship, you must be able to communicate well with your partner. Because this is happening while she is intoxicated, it is most likely a sign that she has been keeping something back. Sit down with her in a calm state of mind, and ask her how she feels about the relationship, as well as sex, and then tell her again how you feel. Not doing something or enjoying something is not a sin, and if she thinks you are, she doesn't understand you. You are not a freak of nature or a prude. Even if you don't want to have sex with her, it's your decision. The question is whether or not she can manage that or if it is a deal-breaker. Just let her know that not wanting to have sex doesn't impact your feelings for her or your attraction to her. All of this comes down to the ability to communicate with others.

Having sex isn't necessary for everyone. There you have it. Those are your terms, and you've been clear and honest about them throughout the process. if she forces you to have sex, then she's not the ideal person for you to be with.

Try to imagine how things might be if this person were actually male. Alternatively, if you overheard a buddy posing similar queries, you could answer them yourself. As a decent wife, would you urge them to lay flat on their backs or kneel and take it in stride?

We're talking about your life here. Not only may she strike you hard enough to terminate it or permanently hurt you, but she can also ruin your happiness.

Stay away from someone who does not respect your personal autonomy.
