I like it, but I might have to drop it. I'm incredibly tired of the insuffrerably-nervous-but-somehow-still-an-asshole-bottom trope. It took me 10 chapters to not be absolutely tired of the MC. Like, I get the desire to want to have a proper relationship, but the way he's going about it is all wrong. You claimed to want a proper relationship, yet were shallow enough to dump a guy for having a small dick...over text, slept with a nice guy drunk, ignored said guy, then tried to rush headfirst into a new relationship to save face. I just want a bottom who isn't insufferable... ╥﹏╥
i mean tbh if youre hypersexual, sex is a big part of a relationship and if your partner doesnt meet your standards its better to ends things rather than dating and cheating (personally i dont agree with the MC, big dick=/= good sex)
I don't think the MC is shallow, I think he's young and lacks the terminology and understanding to properly convey what he's feeling. The reason it didn't work out with his past boyfriends is because they were selfish, condescending and lacked empathy and consideration (in bed and during the relationship-> see chapter 5).
However, people often have issues with identifying the proper problem when it comes to sensitive/taboo topics such as sex. Part of the reason is most people aren't taught how to have a constructive conversation around these topics and often avoid talking about them out of fear of embarrassment, shame, or just hurting other peoples' feelings. Therefore we get situations like this one, instead of identifying the problem for what it is; technique and lack of consideration. The mc grips onto the socially accepted excuse of 'small dicks = bad at sex.'
Avoiding the person he slept with falls into the same category. Most people find the act of sex and just being naked a very intimate experience (for many, they only partake in this experience with a limited # of people (a lot of ppl also require an emotional component as well)). Therefore, when someone engages in a one-night stand or sleeps with someone unintentionally, they may experience awkwardness, embarrassment, shame, etc (especially if it is their 1st time having a one-night stand). It's the 'ahh, that person has seen me naked' response. Honestly, it's a normal part of being human. Some people are fine with it while others struggle, and it all depends on their culture, background, upbringing, and self-esteem.

That was such a good analysis of the character
