Koan isn't an English word of course, it's the often logically baffling focus of Zen Buddhist Meditation.These days when I learn new English words it tends to be mostly thanks to INFPs. Interesting.

HI love these slant threads of 'hey what's normal?' that are never really about that.
In any case, your question has a couple of dimensions: biological and cultural.
Culturally you're in North America, so third date, I guess? If you were in a Nordic culture, then sex would happen immediately and casually, an Islamic one after marriage. However, the 'cultural' answer can get really long and boring, even though there is an answer generally that we're all aware of, at least subconsciously, so I'll move on.
Biologically, men are actually wired up to take two different approaches depending on the woman. Have you ever noticed that some women are hot but not beautiful, and others beautiful but not hot? This is because some combination of genetics and socio-cultural factors determine female mating strategies, putting you into one of two categories: Hot Slut, and Beautiful Wife; the former attracts and encourages men to pursue sex quickly (to maximise the number of low-investment offspring with these types of women, known as 'r-type'), the latter attracts and encourages men to invest (to maximise the survival and success of high-investment offspring, known as 'K-type'). There are equivalent male strategies ('cads and dads'), of course.
Now, if you're a Hot Slut, getting a guy to invest is going to be hard for you but everybody is going to want to fuck you. On the other hand, if you're a Beautiful Wife (these are not scientific terms by the way, lol), then the guy is going to be more cautious/respectful/whatever, which generally means that he'll go at your speed.
It sounds to me as if guys are putting you in the Beautiful Wife category, but you've actually got a Hot Slut mindset (lol), which can be confusing for men because they expect you to be more cautious and that you're not might be sapping them of their 'pursuit energy' and consequently turning them off.
I suggest acting more like a Hot Slut. In particular, when you're humping, &c., just whisper in his ear 'I want you inside me'. That typically works to flip the switch. Dress more sluttily, too - cleavage, red lipstick, all that. You've gotta be sexy, slant. Get naked, masturbate in front of him; put yourself on a plate. Just don't rape the dude.
Just a perspective, though. lol
Personally, I would tend to agree with LJ/Ren that the guy might be insecure about his sexual performance. That's a possibility. Maybe he has dick problems?
Hedefinitely does not have dick problems. That baby is poking at me pretty much every time we cuddle or make out.
Sounds sexy... It might be, if he actually says 'no' in some way, but...But I feel like doing so is disrespectful and a violation of his boundaries. Right?
Maybe try some mind games, like cooking him something suggestive. As it happens, I've just made some hotdogs.
Though I don't need much encouragement to fuck myself.
Lololol. The Donny brain is recognisable to those who know.A friend from Doncaster once told me: "Cook salmon, it always works"
It worked
Sounds like you interposed a comma in my quote where it doesn't belong there, Ren.You're going on a lot about having an ego these days, wazzup Hossounet?

What I meant was, I don't need much encouragement to... fuck myself.
Hmm.If he has performance anxiety, he'll stay hard no problem as long as he's not about to perform.
I swallowed these hogs with gusto.I'm confused, but in order to clear my confusion I think you should send us a picture of you eating the three sausages with absolute delectation
Because you're his wife and you want him to survive."Why would I care if you smoke? That's your personal decision."
LolI think you can be physically turned on but mentally not want to go that far. So I think it's good, @slant, that you are concerned about violating his boundaries. If he is shy, maybe there's a way to put him at ease. Otherwise you have to marry him and procreate for babies foreverrrrr!
Hmm. Yeah I'm just not the kind of person who's going to control other people or stick my nose in their business. If they express a desire to change or want help I will, but otherwise, everyone is kind of responsible for themselves.Because you're his wife and you want him to survive.
It's not unusual for a partner to express concern when you do something harmful to your health.
Again, it sounds like the guy is pursuing a high-investment strategy (not necessarily consciously) and wants you to care about him (I.e. show the same level of investment).
It also sounds like he's looking for a reassuring voice from you, for some reason, or is embarrassed about his choices - that is, he wants to be 'good for you'.
Sounds like he might be suffering from the dreaded WokeHis past relationships must have been really bad because he keeps trying to defer to me to get permission to do stuff and I'm just like "I don't own you??? Why would you need my permission?" Makes me feel sad for him
What's that?Sounds like he might be suffering from the dreaded Woke
Contagious.What's that?
