hi!
so i'm in the middle of going through a semi-pregnancy scare
i say semi because i know there isn't anything to be scared or worried about. i've only been practicing safe sex (manual sex) with my boyfriend and we've done this before and i was totally ok, yet this time for some reason i've been getting these irrational fears
i think this might stems from my deep rooted religous beliefs
i know logically that manual sex, regardless of all the "what if"s, cannot pose a pregnancy risk
but i just can't shake the feeling away, probably because i've always thought that engaging in ANY kind ot sexual activity will lead to a punishment fron God
this has led me to not be able to fully enjoy my sexuality, even when i'm practicing it safely
idk how to stop this problem
