What do I do about my fear of sec/sexual acts -
Today, 03:38 AM
[FONT=""][COLOR=""][SIZE=""]Hi there, I posted a little while ago about a similar topic, but I’ve been dating my current boyfriend for 7 months now and things have been great, but I’m not a very “sexual” person I guess? I’m not sure how to describe it. I’m a virgin, and I don’t think I’m under the asexual umbrella, I get turned on and have a vibrator and stuff, I consume spicy media both drawn and written and all that. But for some reason the prospect of actually doing sexual acts or having sex for real makes me so anxious. To the point where me and my boyfriend haven’t done anything yet. And to be clear, he’s been very supportive the whole time, very patient, and has told me that he’ll wait as long as I need, but I can tell it’s starting to disappoint/frustrate him a little bit even if he tries to hide it, and I feel awful. I know I shouldn’t and he’s even said so before when I’ve brought it up, but I still do and I want to get over this fear or anxiety or whatever it is. Part of it is probably because I was raised religious but my family was never that extreme and I haven’t been religious in years. I want to be able to do this with my boyfriend, and for me. And I just don’t know how to do that yet… any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you-[/size][/color][/font]
