My guy is shy in bed

He doesn't have any problems with public display of affection but when it comes to matters between the sheets, things are too much for him. It's almost awkward to make love to a man who seems afraid of exploring my body. Needless to mention, we haven't had a fulfilling session yet. I don't wish to sound harsh but it's really odd.

Dear Anamika,
You need to boost his confidence. Your guy appears to be frigid. Spend time alone with him. Why don't you make the first move. Hopefully he won't be shocked! Remember if he's shy and you wait for him, nothing might happen. So you go for it. Start by kissing him. If he appears nervous tell him that it's ok and he shouldn't be nervous and kiss him again. Just get him to relax first.
