Hi! Sorry if this post is similar to some others here, or if you've already addressed it, but I couldn't really find anything...
When I'm reading the articles here, I often get uncomfortable when it comes to particular sexual stuff. Not exactly the place for a sex education site, I know! But... I'd like to overcome this, so I can learn more.
I'm perfectly okay around any medical or informal terms around sexual anatomy and things related to sex. But when I'm reading about masturbation, or how the nerves, organs and muscles work in regards to things like pleasure and orgasm, I start to feel... kind of uneasy or squicked out? I have a female reproductive system and all that's often associated with it, so that tends to be almost all of what I read about on here. I also have gender dysphoria to do with my genitals (which often hinders my own sexual desires and stops me from masturbating), so that might play into it?
I think it might be because in those moments, what I'm reading are things that apply to my own body - and that might make me uncomfortable due to dysphoria, or anything else I haven't untangled yet. When I'm reading more "loose" sexual articles on here - about the general functions of the sexual anatomy (from a medical standpoint and not really applied to anyone) or about sex and desire itself - that same feeling of discomfort isn't really present.
Also, I really don't think I'm asexual, but I could be sex-repulsed when it comes to particular things. I'm not sex-repulsed in general, but I don't know if what I'm mentioning here is sex-repulsion. Either way, it's something I really want to overcome.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific... I was just wondering if you've dealt with things like this before, or have any ideas on how to combat this? I'm not sure if just exposure is enough, because I've been lurking here for a while and it hasn't improved by much, if at all. I want to be able to read the articles here without feeling uncomfortable, squeamish or uneasy.
