Being in a relationship doesn't give you a free pass to your so's body

I was soundly downvoted below, but I feel the need to elaborate.

I said below people here usually have the opposite problem. The core problem addressed by this subreddit is people who are not getting touched enough, not people who are touching too much. You think people here don't how to back off when their partner says no? They suffer for years like this, waiting in frustration, longing for their partners to express desire for them through a physical touch that never comes. And if it does, it's a chore -- scheduled, mechanical, or cold.

I'm speaking more from HL perspective, but I have a lot of sympathy for someone LL who understands what the lack does to their partner. People are dealing with deep issues surrounding intimacy, insecurity, and shame, up to and including infidelity and sexual dysfunction. Your post was poorly received by some because it sounds a bit like a pamphlet on college dating and came across a bit condescending. I know you meant well, but I encourage you to stick around and read the kinds of challenges people have their relationships.
