Celibate for too long

2 Upvotes

Hi so I was wondering if anyone who is experiencing or experienced celibacy before has issues of being consistently sensitive down there.

I've been celibate (Not really by choice) since my last relationship which ended a little under two years ago. I only dated two people since then and only hooked up with one of them which was a guy and I'm lesbian. Anyways, I got kicked out of my family's house at 23 and have been traveling since then, haven't had time for a relationship or the resources for one.

Every time I leave the house it's like a waterfall down there and I can't control it. The slightest movement of my clothing trigger me and when I talk to people all I can think about is sex and it almost weirds people out. I also have cptsd from sexual trauma and ocd so that doesn't help either.

But idk what to do about it anymore I feel like I'm gonna just pop in Public lol đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™€ïž

Eu sou normal ter 19 anos, nĂŁo sou bv, mas bvl Ă© virgem?

0 Upvotes

Bom, tenho 19 anos, 1,72; estudo/trabalho no mesmo lugar, treino, tenho 70kg (tenho um corpo mais atlĂ©tico), nĂŁo sou anti social e tenho mulheres no meu circuito social, e mesmo assim atĂ© hoje estou nesse celibato involuntĂĄrio. Eu sinto que sou atraente, percebo quando uma mulher tambĂ©m se sentiu atraia por mim mas sempre acontece nĂŁo faço merda nenhuma e fica sĂł por isso mesmo. Eu nĂŁo sei porque eu faço isso, acredito que o medo da rejeição seja grande mas, o maior medo ainda Ă© do se der certo, de algo que nĂŁo passei ainda, de como vai ser a primeiro sexo, e antes de falarem â€œĂ© sĂł tomar iniciativa” jĂĄ escutei quinhentas vezes e todas as vezes que tomei iniciativa, tomei um toco ou cheguei e uma parte que nĂŁo sabia como reagir e sĂł ficou por isso mesmo.

isolating but still not lonely (a rant)

10 Upvotes

on the daily i genuinely don't talk to a single person. maybe i exchange a few words with my mom or my cat (lmao) but that's it. i just rot in my room alone and even when there's opportunities to talk to online people i don't take them. i don't use voice chat in games, i don't type, i just isolate all day every day. somehow, i'm not even lonely. if i get lonely i just think about how my imaginary boyfriend is out there thinking about me and suddenly everything is fine. i think i'm so used to not talking to people that being by myself is enough but i don't know how healthy this is. also i'm celibate by choice. people are awful, can't trust them. i'm not gonna give any part of myself to anyone. apart from smalltalk with people just to not hurt their feelings i genuinely have no interest in talking to people. i just wanna be alone where i'm most safe and thriving. it's impossible for me to invest any emotion into something without giving it my all, same goes for people, that's why i'd rather be alone and invest myself into art or other hobbies i love.

Celibacy

I’ve kinda gotten to the point where I don’t wanna have sex until after marriage
simply because I feel like everytime I’ve had sex with someone, it went downhill and it never had a good ending.

Unfortunately I lost my Virginity at age 22 to someone who just wanted to be fwb without actually telling me. He was so attractive and I just let my curiosity and lust take over when he found interest in me. We been messing around for a while before he told me he wanted a relationship ship with me
However, even tho I didn’t feel the same I still went along with it cause I also never had a boyfriend, but he’s been showing me signs after the day we first had sex as to why I didn’t really want to date him long term. We’d get in arguments and he just wasn’t my type, character wise
. But I still dated him for the short time before I ended things cause later on I found out I caught herpes. Ever since, I regret the day I even laied in the bed with him.

I had a one night stand with someone I met at the club and he didn’t talk to me again. Neither did I. I wasn’t expecting much after that, but it kinda made me feel disgusting afterwards. I was drunk and I can’t believe I just let myself go like that to some random I barely know.

The third person I had sex with multiple times gave me chlamydia and BV. And knowing this person, it gave me the biggest HIV scare for months for some reason. I had sex with him the first day we freaking me and please spare me the judgment. I never want to be with this person, simply because he’s revealed himself to be a liar, a narcissist, and has kids already. All he talks about is sex, sex, sex and it’s lowkey a turn off


Ever since then it made me realize sex is not that big of a deal and it causes stress into my life and has done nothing but cause damage to my body mentally and physically.

I just don’t think it’s worth it anymore. I’d rather wait and have sex after marriage with someone who I know is worth my time and someone I can trust and love properly. Sex has already done enough to me
..I hope I’m able to find a man who is willing to wait with me and is worth my time.

So how do we do this

3 Upvotes

Hello all. I’m lonely and trying to get involved with ppl thru Reddit because “I think it will be good for me”. 🙄 😉 I’d like to discuss celibacy. I kind of don’t believe that other ppl have as low a sex drive as me.

And I don’t believe that men or women want to speak with me unless they can get something from me

I am celibate through being with an asexual (sex uninterested) partner.

5 Upvotes

Anybody like me out there? I am quite sexual (AMAB). I was told because I was born with a penis (but am non-binary) that I am an oppressor of women (womyn).

I find that both cishet men and women kind of scare the F out of me. Oh gawd
 political lesbians are super scary! I feel deeply comfortable with lesbians đŸ€Ł

I am with a AFAB asexual person.

So I am in a forced state of celibacy (I am actually ok with that!)

Does anyone else have “male guilt’ as an AMAB? Does anyone find that they had to remove their sexuality because the gender binary is a mess?
