She couldn’t fathom a lifetime of dissatisfaction in their sex life and though Jodi had claimed faithfulness she didn’t want to give her a reason to stray. She contemplated discussing things with Kelly who was more experienced in the lesbian lifestyle but because this really was between her and Jodi and because of the sensitive nature Tina decided to broach the subject with Jodi first. She’d hoped that Jodi would be receptive to talking openly about their sex life and perhaps find more compatibility by bringing awareness to what she was feeling. She’d put it off until the night before Kelly was scheduled to join them for the rest of the honeymoon trip however she was having a little difficulty expressing herself.

“I don’t know how to say this delicately.” Tina tried again to make her point.

“Delicately? I thought we were taking about sex.”

“Some people like delicate sex sometimes. I happen to be one of them.”

“Not me. Believe me Tina there is nothing worse than tentative timid lesbian sex. You would never want to be in one of those lesbian bed death relationships where you just cuddle and say goodnight and go to sleep. Ugg”

“Enjoying those types of intimacies is not the death of sex Jodi. I enjoy having sex but it’s not all there is; there are other important ways for us to relate to one another. I’d like it sometimes if we could just hold each other and talk and cuddle and fall asleep with our bodies entwined in a warm embrace. What’s so wrong about wanting that?”

“If that’s what you wanted you should have gotten a teddy bear Tina. I hope you’re not going to be one of those clingy smothering partners that always needs assurance? Holding each other after a mind-blowing orgasm is fine but once we come down from that I just want to roll over and go to sleep. All this talking and sharing feelings and cuddling; it just isn’t for me. I have a high sex drive and I like to fuck; that’s all it’s ever been for me. Besides we’ve been together for months’ and you’ve never complained why are you bringing this up now?”

“I just feel like sometimes we’re not connecting Jodi and I’m feeling it more and more lately. I know you say you love me but I don’t always feel it. I need to know that I’m enough for you.”
