hi all, recently i was discharged by my therapists for non-compliance reasons, and while i am upset about that it's not really the main point of this post. i'm mentioning it because i have no professionals to talk to right now, and that whole episode has left me feeling incredibly discouraged from t...

user was not transfem, plus there were pages and pages of screenshots and archived webpages of this person running a website in which actual, self-admitted predators would be able to contact minors in addition to several admissions from the person in question talking about grooming and molesting the...

so recently on tumblr a semi-famous user was outed as a pedophile and zoophile who was actively preying on real life children (including their niece) and had a website where people with abusive paraphilias (mostly pedophiles and zoophiles, but others along those lines too) could come together and pr...

Hi Alriune Honestly, what you've said makes a lot of sense- I think you have a pretty coherent understanding of what might be influencing the anxious behavior you described in your first post. Given this, is there anything we could discuss that might help you? Therapy isn't necessarily for everyone...

it might be a bit odd to ask this when i'm 20 and this happened years ago as a teen, but it's kinda been in the back of my mind ever since one day when i was 16, just a week before my 17th birthday, i was the horniest i have ever been in my entire life. i was incredibly on edge and had to survive th...

whenever authors use real or pseudo incest as a way to explore "forbidden love" it SERIOUSLY grinds my nerves since there are many other, much more creative ways you can explore that concept (romance between two people of different religions, or different races, you could even come up with...

hi sam, once again apologies for the delayed response but i also learned something very interesting the other day. don't remember how many times i've mentioned this, if at all, but when i was about to turn 14 i had surgery for a (benign, noncancerous) brain tumor. before then, i'd had repeated hospi...

i have a suspicion that some of the issues with my body, sexual and otherwise, may be contributed to by a possible unidentified hormonal problem. i've been talking to my therapist (who is getting her phd in sex therapy, though that's not the only reason i see her) and she definitely seems to think s...

hi everyone, sorry for the late reply since i didn't really know how to respond, but an important clue is that i recently discovered that i apparently have an anxious-avoidant attachment style. i realized that all types of intimacy is overwhelming for me and tends to make me panic, and i instinctive...

i've mentioned before that i don't get any pleasure from orgasm and that it's an issue i don't know what to do about. i also suspect that in comparison to other people, it seems like sensation for sexual pleasure is dulled for me? i can feel a little bit and sometimes enough to orgasm but it's not v...

hi nicole, sorry for the late reply.

by "willing to risk looking for them" i mean i don't know if i'm willing to risk a negative or humiliating experience while looking for a decent person.

i mentioned this on reddit and someone said that there *are* guys out there who like to get girls off and that's kind of been my fuel for this since hearing that. i just keep wondering where on earth i would find these guys and if i'm even willing to risk looking for them

i recently made a separate nsfw tumblr account to sort of act as a horny diary (if you're wondering how that's possible since tumblr banned nsfw the moderation sucks and people have found ways around it lmao) and i realized that i would be okay with sexting another person and receiving pics from the...

hello, for most of my life i remember experiencing lots of emotional difficulty to the point where i've had multiple teachers in elementary, middle, and high school express concern about my behavior. as i've mentioned several times on this forum i have a lot of struggles surrounding sexuality. i kee...

hello amanda, sorry for the late reply things got pretty hectic in my personal life i masturbate because i still need to get it out of my system sometimes and it still feels good physically. while i have dry spells i do masturbate a fair bit i would say, definitely not as much as i used to where i w...

some of it might be familial, since my family just never discusses sex ever unless it's the punchline of a joke. some of it might be internalized messaging, but i'm not quite sure i think it mostly comes from feeling like my own body hates me. i've mentioned in other threads that there's a high like...

hi nicole, i skimmed that article you linked and it has a lot of helpful advice, and when it's not so late i'll read it in full. my social life is lacking, in my opinion. i do have plenty of friends, but the problem is they're all online. i have nothing against online or long distance relationships,...

i know for a fact that i want to date and i don't think there's much outside pressure, if i didn't actually want to date i wouldn't care about any of this. it's because i want to date that i'm feeling pressure, i think. i won't deny there is a little bit of societal pressure in the sense that, since...

So, if I'm hearing you right, it sounds like the resources that might be helpful are the ones geared towards giving people skills or exercises to either use along with therapy or as a means of looking after themselves when they can't or don't want to access it. pretty much! If that's the case, can ...

literally what the title says, i do realize that 20 is still pretty young but never having dated or kissed is really weighing down on me mentally. i know there isn't some achievement guide to life where you need to do x by y but seeing how ubiquitous it is for people to start getting involved romant...

in my personal opinion, that depends on a lot and depends especially on context. also keep in mind that i'm just an individual and not a sex expert or educator. i agree with what sam and latha have said, even vanilla sex can be unsafe if certain precautions aren't taken. on the topic of kink, it get...

hello, apologies for the late reply. the issue i have with a lot of self-care advice is generally that it tends to revolve around things like taking nice baths and curling up in soft blankets and watching feel-good movies---not all of it is like that, of course, and those things are all well and goo...

i was pretty upset while writing this so i forgot to mention that my periods at least tend to be short, so today there's still been a little bit of runoff but only enough that i would need a panty liner, thankfully though i made it sound like the main issue is my period, i think the main issue reall...

i know just from reading the title a lot of people are going to say "just have sex and if you can't do that then masturbate" but both are basically logistically impossible for me the reason why i can't have sex is because i'm currently out of town, so if i had an s/o i couldn't have sex wi...

it's not weird at all! i don't know what kind of hobbies you have or which communities you usually hang around in, but in otaku/anime communities there is a porn genre (usually porn, can be non-sexual) called bl (boy's love)(usually called yaoi in western circles) that is m/m content that was basica...
