why am i so scared of sex? talking about it, doing it…it’s not even that i really don’t want to or that i have been sexually assaulted or something. i am pretty comfortable with sexual stuff with myself, but when it comes to anyone else, i can’t even really talk about it, much less do anything with others…it’s really frustrating. i keep basically leading people on because i am conflicted about if i should push myself or if i should just say no to everything, so i just don’t do either, i lead them on, because i basically want to keep them as an option, which is awful! i think i want to try to push past some of my anxiety surrounding sex and stuff, but i’m also not sure. i’m just scared. any advice?
I was the same way. Especially if it is your first time with someone. It’s pretty normal to be nervous. Is it possible that you had a very religious/conservative upbringing so now it feels wrong? Or if you have slept with someone and they ended up hurting you it could cause the same thing.
But also you can have a relationship without sex. You don’t have to hook up with someone because you feel like you’re supposed to or because you’re trying to be “normal”. Everyone is ready at a different age/time.
