Does age difference matter in a relationship?Mind the gap! Does age difference really matter in a relationship? My boyfriend won't stop touching meI live with my boyfriend of five years who is constantly touching my private areas — not to get me aroused but just because he wants to. I've explained to him that I don't get a thrill anymore when he touches me or even when we have sex. Most times I don't want to have sex because when he starts touching me I get this annoyed feeling — like he has to be touching me all the time, even when I don't want him to. I've tried telling him how I feel and explained that I think this issue is causing my lack of sex drive and I've told him not to touch me whenever he likes, but it's still happening. We can't even sit on the lounge and watch TV without him touching my breasts all the time!
