[QUOTE]Originally posted by Paradoxical Enigma: [QB] Wow, you read me like a book. You're right, this isn't so much an issue of the acts themselves so much as how I feel about them and how I deal with them, and this is certainly NOT how I want to feel for the rest of my life or even how I want to feel for the time being. The problem is, I have no real idea how my parents would react. I have suspicions both that they would not accept masturbation and that they would. As far as the porn goes, I'm pretty sure that they would not accept it. Even so, knowing them, I am sure that even if they did not accept what I was doing, they would still accept me as a person. They might punish me, but I would always be thier son. I feel similarly about the rest of those close to me, including my best friend, who I've also considered talking to but decided not to. I really don't know what their issues with these things would be, to be quite honest. I simply feel that it would make me feel better to talk to them about it so that I could know for myself that I can both talk about and defend my sexual practices. Not only that, I could be free of the tension and anxiety stemming from my uncertainty about their stances on these issues, and if they accepted these things, I could have the reassurance of knowing that I can do these things without shame and without worry that those close to me will be disappointed. As far as the counseling idea, I've considered it myself, but the problem always is that in order to get into anything of that sort, I would have to overcome my anxiety and talk to my parents about this to some extent. Not only that, but counseling costs money (which our family is currently trying to save), and I don't know if I would have any easier of a time talking to a neutral party than those who I trust most, who, as the title implies, should be the first people who I would talk to (of course, that has also proven itself false since this is the first place I've been able to open up about this).
