25f here.

there are instances in my relationships where i don’t want to have sex with my partner, but i still let them. granted, i don’t say no and i don’t say anything to stop them, so it’s not like they’re forcing me. i don’t always have a bad time either. there’s no particular reason i don’t want to (sometimes just not in the mood, sometimes upset about something, etc)

i’ve found myself doing this in multiple relationships i’ve been in, including current. for some of the relationships, it was toxic and/or abusive so it probably makes a little more sense why i wouldn’t communicate and just let it happen. for the relationships that have been healthy, i don’t know why i just let it happen and don’t say anything. i could communicate and say no but i just don’t and idk why. is this normal? does anyone else experience this?

edit: i know the easy solution is to just say no, and i know my partner would respect it, but for whatever reason it’s easier said than done
