Is it normal she hasn't gone down on me yet?
I’ve been seeing a woman for about a month. It’s both of our first times being with another woman. She’s told me she wants to take things slow, which I respected, but now I’m starting to feel a bit insecure and unsure if this is normal.
Here’s where we’re at:
I’ve gone down on her a couple of times. She says I’m still not great, but she did finish once (though a small orgasm).
She hasn’t gone down on me at all yet. She’s never done it before with a woman, she was nervous at first and maybe still is nervous.
She says she prefers to schedule sex once a week. Outside of that, we cuddle and kiss lightly but sometimes we don’t even make out.
She’s also very private with nudity. She won’t let me see her naked except during sex. I guess she is insecure about her own body.
On the other hand, she referred to me as her “partner” recently, which made me feel really good, like she’s serious about me.
I really like her, and I want this to work, but I feel not completely satisfied. Part of me is worried that the lack of reciprocity and intimacy means she’s not that into me. Another part of me knows this is new territory for both of us and that she might just need time.
So my questions are:
Is it normal in a new same-sex relationship for one partner to take longer to reciprocate oral?
How long should I give it before this becomes a red flag?
How do I become more patient? Am I wrong to be worried? Does this all sound normal? Am I overreacting?
