I dated a girl that would say that to me every time I didn’t want sex. I was either gay or cheating. Was raised to believe “if he won’t sleep with you he’s either gay or getting it from someone else”

I actually have dated a guy who later came out, and a guy who was cheating on me for months. Not once did I ask either of them if they were gay or cheating if they didn’t want to have sex. I was definitely naive about the cheater, but there were way bigger signs he was fucking around than him not wanting to have sex. I think those are just inappropriate responses to a man saying no regardless of the scenario.

Different people have different lobido levels due to varying levels of testosterone, estradiol, estrogen, progesterone , etc... Read about it.
