He was so focused on how I should be sexually, that when I broke up with him, I literally felt waves of relief passing through me with the realization that I would never have to have sex with him again. I didn't realize how negatively he had impacted me until that moment. Obviously the relationship didn't last long.
Once when I told him a position was painful for me. He responded by explaining that Asian prostitutes get over such things by just continuing until it no longer hurts. It didn't occur to him that contrary to prostitutes I don't have sex for his pleasure alone. He really just made me crawl into a shell. I became less willing to do things I would normally be comfortable doing.

That's really messed up. So messed up to form judgments of what women should be doing based on what persons who are having sex for money are willing to do- either prostitutes and porn stars. But no woman wants to think of herself as prudish or frigid. It's tempting not to date men at all in order not to deal with any expectations /accusations of frigidity.
