Question:
We have a very beautiful and well-grounded relationship in all aspects, but sex. My girlfriend says that she wants to be with me but there is something unknown that is obstructing our sexual life. We have tried to have sex but all of the sudden she stops.

I need more information to give you an answer to your question. How long have you been in relationship? When you say sex, do you mean intercourse? Have you had any type of sex interactions, and if so, what have you done together so far?

Your girlfriend says that she wants to be with you, yet there is something that keeps her from going all the way. This could be many things, including attitudes, moral/religious reasons, fear of pregnancy, fear of changing the relationship, not being ready, etc. Try to talk together about any fears or concerns that she may have and address them. A little permission and information will go a long way. You can read books or seek out a qualified sex therapist in region.
