So I'm now a 26M. Since I was around 15, I've been fully in love with 2 people. Once broke my heart and cheated on me on prom night, and the other was a girl that was my best friend for 4 years, which never became anything more. Since then, I always found myself reminiscing about one or the other, and how much I truly loved each of them. From the emotional pain of each, I stopped looking for any relationships. I lost all interest in dating and in turn started to lose some self-esteem. Because of this lack of emotional attachment, I ended up becoming super close with my friends, which made me kind of emotionally dependant on them. One friend in particular and I would always hang out, go out, etc. His then girlfriend got super jealous and basically wrecked havoc upon our friendship because she thought we were too close... I still have some trauma from being called in the middle of the night being yelled at, or having to defend myself for actions that weren't wrong. This las...

I do orgasm with a partner yes, it's sometimes enjoyable and other times not. It often just feels a bit odd and foreign and it takes a lot for it to happen, and its honestly a bit hard to stay aroused fjfhjd. But alone i can achieve it no problem. I think it kind of depends, I'm actually sex indifferent but sometimes it'll tip more favorable (or less favorable). December 04, 2023 at 10:22PM

I’ve been talking to this guy for about a month and a half. We used to be friends back during middle school, and we’ve been talking on social media for a while. We’ve gotten really close, but we haven’t met in person yet. I’ve cancelled on him twice. I told him that I’m not ready and I tried to end things with him by saying I’m not in the right space mentally for a relationship or simply put even a connection that demands effort and attention. My work is incredibly busy as well, I work on a small team as an analyst and I don’t even have a moment to take a lunch break. He has kids so he’s pretty much limited on time as well. I communicated with him that I have a habit of going mia, being too overwhelmed to talk and that I’m not mentally able to be the person that he needs. I said I didn’t want to hurt him or waste his time. He also knows that I’m talking to other men. These were his responses: - that wouldn’t waste my taste - I’m fine before you and will be fine after - you can’t assum...

Realising that sex isn't for everyone December 02, 2023 at 11:16PM

You are sex averse. While it is not uncommon that asexual people are also sex averse or even sex repulsed, those things are not the same. December 01, 2023 at 11:23PM

I still have my fair share of creeps. Being a woman that comes with the territory unfortunately. I have resting bitch face and friends have told me they thought I was a bitch or intimidating before meeting me lol I think for those more reserved, it takes a lot more work to seem approachable. It’s not impossible but if that’s what you want, you’ll have to work at it and go out of your comfort zone more often than not. Networking could be a way to make friends! There are so many avenues where the baseline is just meeting people which ultimately is the first step. December 01, 2023 at 11:23PM

To be fair, the doctor doesn’t care about your sexuality, they mostly care if you are having sex at all and generally how, to better understand the medical care you may need. December 01, 2023 at 11:13PM
