Do I let bad sex ruin a good relationship?

I’ve been with my boyfriend for six months and I love him so much. But the sex is less than perfect. It’s always over really quickly, and he doesn’t seem to care if I orgasm or not. It’s really weird because he’s so considerate and lovely in everything else. Sex is really important to me too though. Should I break up with him?

Our expert says:

Bad sex is the best kept secret in most people’s love lives. Nobody ever wants to tell their partner, that things in the bedroom aren’t orgasmic – let alone their friends. So most people keep quiet and assume the rest of the universe is having much better sex than them.

Everyone is capable of having very bad sex in good relationships. However, with good communication, trust and respect, it’s easy to turn things around.

What do you think? Do you think bad sex is a deal-breaker? Or is sex a learning experience and you shouldn’t write them off straight away? Remember, everyone’s relationships is different. There’s no right or wrong.
