See title. Context about me: 19, F, never been attracted to anyone (male or female) ever, never had crushes, etc. Not even to fictional characters. The closest I can muster is aesthetic appreciation towards femininity and pretty women because I've never been particularly feminine myself, and I appre...

> Would you be open to reading a little about them, or even just looking at some photo essays? Sure! > What actually made me bring up being trans was you mentioning how you feel when people switch from calling you "sir" to calling you "ma'am;" you describe being read as male or a...

> For a lot of us, our teenage and young adult years are a time where we're differentiating ourselves from our parents. That could be why your mom dressing you according to her desires rather than yours is no longer something you can tolerate. I think I would still be fine with her picking out thing...

The title pretty much says it all. Been having some... for lack of a better term, gender issues. What really confuses me is why I'm having these feelings so late (I am 18 now). When I was a kid, I didn't give a damn about what I wore. My mom picked everything from underwear to sleepwear to shoes to ...

> I'm picking up on a distaste towards sex and your body's sexual needs. You highlighted this also in your relationship with erotic fiction and porn: you said you can't enjoy fictional sex if there's any "humanizing information" available about the characters, which implies that sex, in yo...

> You used the phrase "dry orgasm". Have you ejaculated during orgasm in the past? Was that more pleasurable for you? If yes, then what was different about those masturbation sessions? Yes, dry orgasm means I didn't ejaculate. And yes, I have ejaculated or had a 'wet orgasm' before - that'...

> When you notice this arousal, have you tried acknowledging it's there but not acting on it, rather than immediately trying to distract yourself from it? - Distracting myself from it: homework or chores, cannot focus for more than a few minutes at a time (included in original post) - Acknowledging ...

Looking for advice to deal with my libido which is getting progressively out-of-control. Here are the facts: - I'm 17 - I'm a girl - It's hard to be productive because these "waves" of horniness often engulf me AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY and make it difficult to think or act - During these wave...
