Re: not sure what to do now

Thank you, I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing so I'm glad setting a boundary was positive.

I do want to resolve the tension with my dad, while standing by my actions. How do you think is best to open up that conversation?

not sure what to do now

My dad is normally quite chill and while he does snap occasionally he has never physically hit me since I was a kid (it was his generations way of discipline) But yesterday we were having a stupid fight over beans and he grabbed my wrist and it really, really hurt, so I hit him off me. I was really ...

Re: my mum won't stop victim blaming me

Thanks! I'm hoping I can get a job soon so I can save money for a flat until then! Leaving the conversation is hard, she usually forces herself into my room and stands by the door. I think I maybe need to work on just not letting her in, and also getting shoes on and maybe getting out of there the n...

my mum won't stop victim blaming me

this one is kind of long so i apologise I was sexually assaulted (groped) as a teen by my brother frequently over a period of six months. At the time I told my mother and she yelled at me for it. I repressed the incident for years until I went to uni and started hearing my friends etc talk about sex...

Re: I Feel Gross When Men Like Me

Hi, I have contacted someone for counselling but it's a 6 month waiting list so it'll be a while before I can talk these feelings out with a real person. And I also spoke to my GP today about getting put on a wait-list for CBT so hopefully that's a little shorter! I think it does feel like if someon...

Does Sex / Masturbation / arousal Smell

So to begin this very odd question I have to explain that I do not have a sense of smell. This obviously means I can't smell Anything. But I was recently watching The Witcher, and while the main character has many superhuman abilities, in one episode he said he could Smell there was Sex in a room an...

Re: I’ve really hurt my labia and I’m very afria

Thanks for replying The pain is in the outer labia! But just the left side, it doesn’t look different to normal. It kinda hurts to spread my legs (and walk)! Pressing on it is painful in the way that it would be painful to press a bruise (although there is no bruising) None of the pain is internal b...

I’ve really hurt my labia and I’m very afria

Hi, So I’m not sure how I managed it (I think it started after masterbating) but one side of my labia is in a great deal of pain! It happens when sitting or standing and sometimes it’s not there and sometimes it is It is a weird dull pain as if I’ve pulled a muscle and when I’m wiping myself it hurt...

Re: Can I enjoy sex if I Masturbate wrong

I'm sorry, I tried to reply to this when you posted but it crashed somehow and I was too tired to write a full reply out again

This is really reassuring to hear! As I've always felt very disconnected from my body, I'm always worried I'm going to hurt it.

Thanks,

Can I enjoy sex if I Masturbate wrong

Hi, So first of all due to some Trauma as a teen I have a weird fear of my area down below. Recently I've discovered masturbation, and that some things I've been doing because they feel nice (squeezing legs together) can be considered stimulating. Last month I also realised it feels really good to p...

Today I looked at my female genitals for the first time ever and It was super gross.
