Hello, it's so strange, my feelings fluctuate a lot and the severity of the experience seems to vary... sometimes I get into a really bad spiral, I cry and either gorge myself or stop eating for some time, and I avoid intimacy with my boyfriend... other times it's like it all happened to someone els...

Hello. So, about a year and a half ago, I had my first real sexual experience with another person. It has taken a long time to process since I wasn't ready, I've realized now. However, I was super curious, and attached a lot of self worth to whether men found me attractive or not. So I let all of th...

So, I've been quite antsy about penetration for a long time. Now that I have a boyfriend, and I think sex will happen sometime soon, I've taken to "practicing" with a dildo. Today I was able to do it with no pain -- I've had a bit of pain before, but today at most some minor discomfort. Do...

Hey again Alice, Sorry for not responding for a while. I don't really know if I have any strategies? I guess I distract myself with something else, be it entertainment like different types of media or just my hobbies, or simply some homework.

I think you're right in that I feel powerless. Most things in my life up to this point have been clear ...

I mean, it's not like I base my whole existence on whether or not people like me, but I do think it's part of my frustration. And well yes, I do enjoy my hobbies, and I like aspects of myself: like my capability to create - having quite a good imagination and drive, but I find myself often thinking ...

Hey, Sam, I guess you're right. Thanks for not patronizing me. And yeah, I know that I compare myself to others quite a lot... I think I base a lot of my own self-worth on other people's opinions of me and my own opinion on others (e.g if I find myself to be better or above them) which isn't good. I...

I'm 15, cis, and hetero. I'm a girl. I'd say I look pretty average, but I dress quite nicely and I use makeup which improve my appearance. People usually describe me as smart, I get good grades, and I have many hobbies: I draw and paint, I write, read, play sports (volleyball), and I play the flute ...
