sexual frustruation as a teen

Unread post by learning124 »

im 16 (17 in like 2 months!) and ive been dealing with sexual frustration, i think?
i think its just the fact that i live with my family and i do get privacy but obviously they are still in the house lol. plus i dont have any sex toys since im under 18, and most of my fantasies involve toys of some kind
its also that i dont really have an outlet for this sort of stuff? masturbating is great n all but i wish could actually talk about my fantasies, but people obvs dont want a teenager posting abt this stuff online. and the new online safety laws make accessing porn/smut/etc as a teen pretty impossible
anyway, im wondering if anyone has tips on how to deal with these feelings until i can move out :( it sucks to not be able to do the stuff i want to do. im also pretty kinky, but cant really take part the community till im 18 (for good reason! but its still frustrating).
i know its mainly just waiting a year till im old enough but augh its annoying D:

Hi learning124! I hear you with the need for sexual outlet. Since you mentioned not having sex toys, I wonder if you've thought of making them yourself? We have an article on exactly that, if you're interested: D.I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition.

As for expressing yourself online, it's true that most social media spaces and other communities don't allow underage folks to access sexual media. While you do have to wait until you're 18, I also wonder how you've been expressing your thoughts by yourself, like writing out your fantasies into paper or creating sexual art for your own enjoyment. How do you feel about those?
