When i was teenager i was absolutely terrified of sex. I was afraid i would be used and abandoned, and there were other reasons. (I likely had ROCD from a young age because i questioned a lot of things like feelings etc) but i didnt start wanting to actually engage in anything until I was at least 23 or 24. And i was very sure of my orientation. Its a myth that everyone is ready for sex at a young age, and i think people should be allowed to figure out that it isnt always something you jump headlong into because there are a lot of factors to it that make it different for everyone.

Sex is something that you have a right to define for yourself. I’ve known people first having sex at 13 to 25. What really matters is that 1) it’s consentual 2) confortable 3) open and honest 4) enjoyable. If you still need time to figure out what each of those means to you translated in attraction, then taking time to doing that is valid, necessary, and VITAL

Gfaux, YES! Because of my fear of sex I didn’t have sex till I was 21, almost 22. People thought that was weird. What’s WEIRD, is majority of people having sex at 16. You’re still a FUCKING CHILD

I'm also pretty turned off sex but for diffrent reasons. One's attraction is never chosen, only what one does with that attraction. If you choose to not engage that attraction its okay, I dont wanna express mine.

Im 27. I have sex with my boyfriend and enjoy it. But even still, some strange trauma has happened to me sexually. (I wasn’t molested)And because of it I have a lot of obsessive thoughts about sexual things. This is a huge trigger to me. I can’t watch sex scenes in shows or movies, I skip over them in books, I don’t like talking about sex, even with my boyfriend. Sex is so gross to me. But to be honest sex is incredible and magical, but at the same time gross and super fucking weird. Sometimes my boyfriend and I will talk about that when we’re having sex, like this is just a strange thing that people do ?? Point being thinking sex is gross doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t want to do it and it definitely has nothing to do with sexuality

I think this is misinformation. "Waiting until marriage" certainly does not guarantee that sex will be safe and free of STDs. You could get married to someone who is abusive and has an STD. Marriage changes nothing.

Yes that is fine, your OCD likes to use any ammunition it can find and throw it at you

I have passed similar conditions and I know how difficult are they. Try not be affected by anything that you disagree as a person.

Sex is overrated. Sex can cause unwanted pregnancy and stds. Best 2 w8 till marriage where it's safe and secure. Disease free.

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared
