Quote: So what if his reaction is just nervousness that he's not going to be able to do that..and since he is working with a deficit of natural horniness, he starts to panic?
Oh I totally think that's what it is - which is why I agreed with EG's comment about nervousness. But I also think that he uses that nervousness (and thus the chattiness) as an excuse to stay as far away from sex/intimacy as possible. For me, in our situation, the two go hand in hand.
Of course, my response is what I need to worry about, right? So how do I get him to shut up without initiating a long discussion about how "blah blah blah blah does X Y Z"? That is the question I am asking myself.
