Bedroom Under the sheets (or not) To please or not to please, and does risk augment pleasure?

To please or not to please, and does risk augment pleasure?
To please or not to please, that is the question, and does risk augments pleasure?

I’m a very shy person (it’s actually quite strange to talk about it like that, though in a way it’s easier), and I also really like to please my boyfriend whom I love very much. The problem is that he is asking me for a long time to have sex in strange places, where there is danger of us being seen (I would die if that would happen!), like in the nearby forest or in some empty classes...
I’m struggling between my strong dislike of getting myself into a bad situation and between my usual desire of making my boyfriend happy. I’m trying also to understand, does danger make sex better?
Just a remark -- what I'm about to describe is a stereotype and not true of many men, but I think it is important to point out in case this is your situation.  It is not uncommon that men who have what they would consider risque fantasies also basically imagine that their female partners find these things secretly exciting and are pooh-pooing the idea because they do not want to admit they find it exciting, because they are good girls, etc etc etc.  Now, it may be that for every man fitting this description, there is a woman somewhere about whom he's right. But for many/most women, the complete opposite is true -- they actually have some reasonable idea of what they do and don't like and this particular item on the menu is not one of them.

Anyway, this is a serious issue and it goes very deep. Obviously, it is possible that you are with someone who wants to do something you do not find particularly interesting, but neither do you find it problematic, so you are willing to go along to make them happy. This is not the case I'm describing, nor does it seem to be your situation. Let's imagine for the moment it had nothing to do with sex. Your boyfriend really liked shoplifting (or something else which gave you a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, but was perhaps not illegal -- bungee jumping, say).  Would you do it to make him happy? Where does one draw the line? I'm exaggerating the questions a bit to make them clear but they are really very complex, and very hard to sort out in the psyche.

I think that on a fundamental level, you need to understand how you feel, and if the reality is that you don't feel good about this you need to make it completely clear that there's no coyness in this answer. From the way he responds, you will at the very least learn a lot.
Hi Lilith,

It’s sometimes difficult to decide, but I think that you need to judge each situation and its possible effect on you. For example, if you get caught in the class by your professor, the effect will be very bad for your image, so you obviously can’t take that kind of risk, no matter how much it stimulates your boyfriend. In the countryside, or in nature in general it’s more understandable (just make sure you’re not in an Islamic country, see the British couple who got imprisoned from having sex on a beach in Dubai). And sometimes, trying to please your partner could make you discover things you never dared to do and that you like, though as Solveig says, make sure it is something which interests also you. It’s all about finding the right balance. A balance between allowing your partner to reveal new experiences to you, but also, only experiences you will feel comfortable with. Have fun!
