Why Doesn’t He Like Phone Sex? (Long-Distance Love Fail)

Dear NWSO,

I've got a relationship question for you. I'm in a long distance relationship (don't judge me) with the guy of my dreams. We've known each other since high school (going on 15 years) and our chemistry is amazing. He's smart, funny, a voracious reader (one of my MUSTS), and very attentive in bed. The only problem is he won't participate in phone sex with me.

I just don't get it!

We have the most incredible sex whenever we see each other, which is about once a month, but in the meantime I need a little freaky phone sex every now and again to fill in the gaps. He claims he doesn't like it and changes the subject whenever I bring it up. But I can't help it. He has the sexiest voice and when we're up late at night talking on the phone, something just takes over me and all I can think about is fucking.

I've even suggested us getting a Skype account and he says he'd rather have the real thing. What gives? Most men I know LOVE sex—whether it's actually doing it or just talking about it. I'd love for you to use this as fodder for a post because I'm really tired of having to "handle things on my own," while pretending to listen to him talk about his day at work/the gym/etc. LOL!

Thanks in advance,

Magnolia Peach

Peace sis,

Interesting scenario. First off, why would I judge you for being in a long-distance relationship? Now, if you were in a long-distance relationship because your man was in jail, THEN you would be judged—and executed. LOL.

While it may be a shock to you and totally odd, some folks just aren't in to phone sex. I've had my fair share of ear-otic episodes (last week’s Wet Wednesdays was a nice account of how great that can be) and I can't front, there have been times where I completed my part of the “conversation” before the other party had reached her climax and all I wanted to do was go to sleep but I have to first talk my partner to her sexual eruption. If I'm done already it can be quite boring to go through the motions, especially if that post-nut itis kicks in.

TMI, I know.

Anyway, some folks just aren't into it because they think it's lame or maybe it's too “dirty” to them because of religious reasons or something like that. Whatever the case, if he's not into it there really isn't much you can do about it. What if he was adamant about something like anal and you weren't? I doubt you'd change your mind if it was something that just made you uncomfortable, so why should he?

Perhaps, for him, the anticipation leading up to your monthly hook up is part of what makes him so attentive when you guys are physical, because there's 29 days of uninterrupted build up. What it sounds like though is you just have a high sex drive and the distance is messing up your groove. Well, you can always just ear rape him.

What's that?

Well, I blogged about it for a Wet Wednesdays a while back (CLICK HERE).  Basically, if his voice is so sexy to you and he won't join in, you can easily let your fingers do the walking without his knowledge. He doesn't even have to be speaking dirty if it's his voice that does it for you, especially that late night bassy phone voice that guys get. You’re not listening to him anyway as you say so get yours quietly whether he wants to give you that "talk" or not.

Trust, I've done it and no one's been the wiser and I got what I wanted to hold me over ’til the real thing is available. If that's too freaky for you then just get your toys of joy out and have fun until one of y’all moves closer to each other. Aside from that you can't make him do something he doesn't want to do so you're basically screwed. Well… technically you're screwin’ yourself until your man comes home.

Good luck and have fun.

Could you be in a long-distance relationship where you had to wait a month to have sex? What’s the longest you’ve gone without sex while in a relationship? Would you use something like Skype to spice up a long-distance relationship? Do you expect sex on a regular basis when you’re in a committed relationship? Does anticipation amplify your lovemaking when it’s been a while for you and your partner? When it’s been a while do you want it nice and slow or fast and hard? How would you handle things of your long-distance partner wasn’t into phone sex? Would you feel offended if your partner ignored your advances over the phone?

Speak your piece…

    Maybe he's just really bad at it...

    I'm a fan of the phone sex, but it would go a lot like last Wednesday's session...HE tells me what he wants to do to me, what he wants me to do TO HIM...cause once it's my turn to describe how I wanna lick on his pole...well, my mouth gets shy...I can THINK of lots of dirty things that I'd LIKE to do to him, shoot I can even type it, but there is some block on my mouth, I go mute and I'm not a shy person...don't know what it's about. I can say "yes" and "ooh" and "aah" and say "eff me", "I like that", "I want that", small things...but stringing nasty sentences together is just foreign to me. I'd like to improve on this, but as of right now I get a #fail in phone sex on my end...maybe he's the same way and too insecure to fess up that he's no good at talking dirty...*shrug*

    I just can't get into it. The guy seemed to enjoy whatever I was saying though. If he has a real sexy voice and I was really in need I'd do like you said and handle my business without him knowing. Some people just get turned on more when there is an actual person there that they can see and feel and you can't touch through the computer. You could do a striptease on skype. That might be kinda hot like a little peepshow. idk

    No LDR for this brotha too damn frustrating and who wants to go a month between booty in a committed relationship. I don't want to and no woman I have ever been with would want that either.

    A first runner-up should step in if the Queen fails to live up to her duties. LMBAO!!

    But seriously

    Circumstances no matter what they maybe will put distance between folks and that is real life. But I am of the mind that when those circumstances happen that we make other arrangements and getting each other off through SKYPE, over the phone, IM or whatever means is not generally my bag of tea. "There ain't nothing like the real thing"

    Phone sex for me is like foreplay not a substitute and I only indulge as a precursor otherwise you can save it for someone else. Its like starting the car but leaving it in the garage. May be fun for some but neither you nor the car gets much action out of it. I am actually pretty good at phone sex but I never got much thrill out of it myself.

    I've only had phone sex once and i guess it just aint my thing. I'll chat in your ear while you pleasure yourself but it does nada for me.
    The longest i've gone without sex in a relationship is less than one week and while i expect regular sex in a relaationship you must be careful what you wish for. I was in a year-long relationship once where we had sex EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. Once that relationship was over i was gladly celibate for about a month!
    If its been a while i'll take it both ways. First slow and easy and dthen hard and fast. I like to make love before i f**k.

    I thought that was my girlfriend writing in... but I see her more than once a month. I too hate phone sex, it feels corny and lame to me and I'm a fan of porn (weird I know). It just isn't for everybody and it does nothing for me and makes me feel like a herb doing it. I would rather her front and center than over the phone, I guess it stopped being cool to me after college. If you don't understand mine and other anti-phone sex lovers please don't judge and misdiagnose us as being "bad at it", chances are most of us could care less how good we are at it because we just don't want to do it.

    I think relationships are about give and take. You give some. You take some. I disagree NWSO with the whole "he's not comfortable so forget about it." He better get comfortable. It's hard enough to be in a long distance relationship. He should go to extra lengths to keep his girl happy. They should talk about why he's not comfortable and she can help him get comfortable, ease him into it. I can admit, i have trouble with phone sex myself. I feel dirty or something. Kinda whorish. Actually being a freak in bed is fine with me. But talking about it? That's another level. But the difference between me and this girl's man is that I try. I'm ready and willing to be an active participant.

    To be honest, I have never had ear-otic pleasures(LOL I LOVE THAT SAYING NWSO!) before. When my man and I are doing our thing, i love to talk dirty, but when its over the phone, i feel like i just sound stupid and my words just dont come out right. Skype, now i could get down with that....that is like watching porn, but its interactive! lol. I have never been in a LDR, and I personally dont think i could do it. I'm not knocking anyone that does, because my best friend did and she winded up moving to where he was and they are getting married, so LDR is not a bad thing, but i would much rather see my bae everyday.

  • Shola

    Ive never been in a long distance relationship but if i was to enter one in the future i think phone sex would play a key part. Of course there is nothing, nothing at all like the real thing but phone sex/text sex would heighten the anticipation of when we finally get it in for real...
    When its been a while ( as it is now, and prob will be for some time to come, le sigh) i'm greedy - i want it nice and slow AND fast and hard
    *goes off to remininsce

    Magnolia Peach...maybe he just dont like it. You cant force him to try it. Hell, do like NWSO said...ear rape'em. Oh...just thought of something...you can get a computer cam and make him watch you get yourself off. I dont know..I'm not as tech savvy as everyone else around here. But if he still not into it...just take it out on him when you two meet up...tease'em and make'em beg for mercy!! That'll teach'em!! LOL

    A.D.

    I am in the same exact situation. My man is a prude unless we are face to face. We skype all the time, but at best, all I can do is show some skin before he starts blushing. At first I was put off by the lack of interest in discussing sex, but I now am thankful for it. It is such a blessing to be in a relationship where sex is not the main focus. I've dated my share of guys that wanted phone sex or skype sex and it made me feel uncomfortable if I wasn't in the mood. I felt pressured to perform for them and now I do not have to worry about that. We haven't seen each other in 5 months, so the anticipation is beyond great right now. I've had to handle my own business in his absence, which is fine with me. It's a minor concession for a relationship that is otherwise perfect.

    I love words, and my ears are sensitive, so anything that stimulates them gets me going. Needless to say, phone sex for me is a definite turn-on. LOVE the "ear rape" suggestion...may have to try that myself!

  • http://nwso.net/ NWSO

    Well, I disagree with your disagreement. LOL.

    I hear your side, but still feel "forcing" anyone to do something isn't advised. I know I'm hard headed so someone trying to make me do something only makes me less inclined to do it, gotta try some reverse psychology.

    But I'll play devil's advocate again and ask if the issue was something more taboo like say peeing or defecating on her, would you have the same argument that she "better get comfortable?"

  • c0c0puffz

    If she's that horny, she should ear rape him or better yet fantasize about him after getting off the phone with him and use her toy.

  • Elle

    LoL awww poor baby shouldn't be forced ... *evil laughter*. Most dudes have tried talking girls into sucking dick and now their fragile egos shouldn't be pressured into being a little experimental.

    B* please.

    To me phone sex is a less "in your face" way (well, obviously) of talking about one's fantasies openly - something all relationships require. Call me weird but I'd rather create a scenario and get him all into it than discuss my sexual pleasure over dinner with dude staring into my eyes.
    I never quite understood why my ex didn't want to try it. His explanation was the same ol' boy uses "I prefer the real deal." Um yeah ok, then why do you watch porn? Something doesn't add up. I'm sorry.

    LDRs aren't as bad as their reputation. Neither is phone sex.

  • luv2makeusquirt

    i teach women how to stimulate their g spots to have 15 multiple orgasms in 3 mins without a man, than can make u squirt wen u bust your nut. So phone sex is 2nd nature to me. l try to get it at least 2x a week... don't get me wrong i'm a handsome guy, got a girl who i live with, but there's sumthing bout her moans and havin her put da phone by her pussy so i can hear how wet she is, plus her reaction wen she has dat 1st orgasm and squirt... maybe if u squirt he'll want to skype and have fun with ya...

  • Darling Nicki

    Okay all I'm saying is, I'd keep a guy tied up in the bedroom if he taught me how to have 15 mutiple orgasms in 3 minutes without a man and squirt. Lol, just joking. Phone sex is good, but only as a precurser to the real thing. Otherwise I'm just hornier and frustrated.
