Somewhat of an out there situation, but long story short I bought a toy and my boyfriend has had quite the reaction to it. We have quite an active sex life so I never really felt the need to buy any toys (we’ve been together almost 6 months), plus before meeting him I was quite shy to the idea of anything sexual, which includes toys so never purchased anything prior. Since being with him I’ve realised I have a high sex drive, but unfortunately we’ve been quite busy over the last few weeks because we both have exams. Because of this we barely have time to see eachother which is obviously saddening because I miss my boyfriend, but my sexual needs are subsequently not being met. I’m on antidepressants which means it’s a lot harder for me to reach the finish line, so I thought the smart thing to do would just buy a v toy and be fine with that. However, when I told my boyfriend about this he actually got really angry that I felt like I needed to use something else to get me to the finish line. I personally felt like this was an unfair reaction, and don’t really understand WHY he’s angry. What to do about this? Is this just him being immature or is there valid reasoning which could be explained about why he’s upset?

Edit: would like to also add that my boyfriend does do a lot to ensure I’ve finished from sex both before & after since he knows it’s almost impossible for me to orgasm from penetration. With him understanding this and doing what he can to get me to the finish line anyway, I thought he would be a little more supportive about the toy which is why I was really shocked about his reaction. I guess his main takeaway is that it’s not HIM doing it which I find really silly and hard to comprehend. He’s also not against me masturbating with my fingers, just the vibrator.. (yeah I also don’t get it lol 😭)
