I’m 18M. I am fully aware that I am not emotionally ready for a relationship (romantic/sexual) and I feel like sex should only be done when you are fully ready and with someone you feel safe/comfortable with. Despite this, I still feel insecure when it comes to sexual topics.
Whenever I hear people my age talk about sex, I feel dejected, or like I’m missing out. It feels disheartening that this stuff comes so naturally to people, whilst it’s so far flung from anything I’ve ever experienced.
I guess I’m worried that when I do find that person, it won’t matter to them as much as it does to me. Or, that I won’t be good enough to satisfy them (I frequent this subreddit a lot in order to educate myself, as well as reading articles and watching tutorials, but I don’t know if any of this will actually help in the long run).
I am aware this is an unhealthy mindset and I really want to break out of it, but I’m not really sure how. If any strangers cruising this subreddit on Christmas could offer guidance, it would be much appreciated.
