You'd know by now

Today, I was going to have sex with my boyfriend for the first time. He couldn't get hard and pouted about it for nearly two hours. When I went to comfort him, he said, "Man, I hope I'm not gay." FML

Five comments and not a single one advocating dumping, this just might turn out to be a good year.

Sounds like he's feeling a little immasculated. Just tell him it's first time jitters and it's nothing to worry about, it happens to a lot of people and does not mean he's gay, just a little nervous!

Could just be nerves! Plenty of time to try again. :-)

Probably just performance anxiety. It should pass with some foreplay and relaxing. The whole "I hope I'm not gay" thing is a little more concerning. I'm not sure he understands how his penis works, kinda like handing a Ferrari to someone who just passed their learners exam and telling them "you're all right on your own, why not take the freeway, and send me a selfie while you're at it. "

I can't say because I don't know him or you... Are the two of you teens and this would be his first time? Regardless it happens. It is possible he really is gay and didn't want to admit it to himself; this may have forced him to deal with it. In which case gay friends are awesome. I had something similar happen with an ex of mine. We knew each other in high school and dated a couple of years later. Little did I know in those two years he was doing a lot of serious drugs; that's why he wasn't able to get it up. We dated during 'recovery' but he went right back into it.

1) I don't think age would matter. If it's his first time, it's his first time. 2) I doubt he's gay. He just seems like he's nervous. It happens to a lot of guys their first time.

Of course age doesn't matter it's just typical for someone to be a teen for their first time. I also imagine if he was in his 20s he would have his sexuality for the most part figured out which further more points to a teen. It's just common sense. If he's older it makes anxiety even more understandable. No telling because the OP didn't give details which is why I asked. Also based on what he OP posted it is an obvious 'concern' that he may be gay. If he is gay more power to him; I hope he finds happiness regardless of sexuality. Since it wasn't as obvious as I thought my personal story I included was an example of another possibility.

I'm so sorry this happened to the two of you. It is actually VERY common for a guy to have trouble getting it up the first time - it definitely doesn't mean that he's gay. Don't take this personally! If you love him, let him know it's OK and you can try again any time.

<i> it definitely doesn't mean that he's gay.</i> Yeah, it could mean he doesn't find this particular girl attractive.

First time nerves, just comfort him and he ll feel better :) things ll work out!

Three things could be possible: 1) He's really nervous (the most likely scenario); 2) He has generally poor circulation; 3) He has an excess of PDE-5, and may need an inhibitor of sorts. I've been that guy, and it sucks. I have actually had someone permanently dissociate themselves from me because of it, despite the fact that I can get nervous when preparing to have sex with a new person. Just try to be understanding and work through it between yourselves. If that doesn't work, try other measures.

Aww, that sucks that someone cut you off for that. Nobody should be shunned for things beyond their control. We should shun assholes.

Yeah, I tried explaining that it was my first time with her, thus making me not as comfortable, and she didn't get it. It's like she sees guys as instant sex machines that walk around with boners ready to screw at a moment's notice.

in that case #23, you are better off without such a person.

Perhaps so. And it's worth noting that I don't always have that problem, just on occasion.

Not getting hard happens to all guys sometimes. I'm sure your boyfriend isn't gay. If he was he would probably know. Hopefully you rock each other's worlds when he does get hard!

Sounds like nerves. Unfortunately, the more you freak out about and focus on it, the longer the problem lasts. If he's freaking himself out so bad he's worried his wiener doesn't like girls, he's going to be too nervous to do anything. Some casual, relaxed foreplay, keep a sense of humor and not try to do a romance novel sex scene, and it should be fine.

He said that purely as an excuse. He is probably quite embarrassed.
