Rejection

So, my last poll got me thinking more about sex and relationships.

When is it ok to sexually reject your partner and being sick doesn't count.
Never
After an argument
When I'm tired
After a long day
When I see fit
When I want
Always
Other

There are certain times when you are exhausted or when you are very mad when sex doesn't even enter the equation, but other than illness I can't really think of another

I would never expect a partner to give in to sex when they don't want to or are not in the mood. It doesn't matter what the reason. It would make me feel like crap thinking they were just having sex on my account or to shut me up and just go through the motions. I want them with me physically AND emotionally. I would expect them to feel the same if I'm not in the mood or whatever.

It is very important both parties are involved I agree.

There are times when it is ok, it just can't become a regular excuse.

Sexual desire varies.
- Sometimes one really wants it.
- Sometimes one isn't particularly in the mood, but isn't opposed.
- Sometimes one doesn't want it.
- Sometimes one wants it but can't (sick, etc.).
- Sometimes one can't and also doesn't want it.

When both of us want it, it happens, unless circumstances interfere (at work, etc.). Declining is not going to occur to either one in that case.

When one wants it and the other isn't particularly in the mood, it often happens, and frequently getting started gets the one who wasn't in the mood into it. It's OK to decline, but usually we say yes because it's good for the relationship -- but it's still OK to say no.

When one just doesn't want it, then it's always OK to decline. However, it's unhealthy for the relationship if the "no" condition lasts a long time.

Situations where one or both one it but can't are truly frustrating, but "no" is obviously the only answer. Likewise, can't and don't want to is also the time for "no".

So when is it OK to say "no"? Any time, as long as the "no" means "not now, but I'm not going to keep you waiting too long."
