Why are you talking about it!?!

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I don't see this as talking about it, I mostly mean about the act itself, details and specifics :) Edit: I also don't say in my post that I am uncomfortable with it.

You're still doing it!

I'd like to add that even while it's okay to be uncomfortable with it, it's not like I cannot ever say the word sex.

Yeah, there's nothing at all wrong with being uncomfortable with talking about it- but that still sucks. I used to be very ashamed of my sexuality because I grew up in a household where sex was never talked about and was a big taboo (Jehovah Witness household). My first few sexual encounters were awkward and shameful, I could not gather up the nerve to tell my partner what I wanted. Sometimes, I still have issues with talking about it but that can be easily overcome with a caring partner. It's a great feeling being comfortable with your body and sexuality.

Yeah, but note that if you're not comfortable talking about it then you shouldn't be having it.

And why is that?

Because it's probably a good sign that you're not ready.

I sincerely doubt that, not only considering my age but my maturity overall. I have been having sex for about 6 years now and enjoying it with my partners at the time. The reason I don't like talking about it or feel uncomfortable with it at times is because I also have a less nice history with it

I just feel like if you're not mature enough to talk about it then you shouldn't be having it, but thats just my two cents.

To me it's not about maturity at all. I also don't think you know me well enough to judge whether or not I am mature enough :)

I don't think Chewbanshee was judging you on your maturity I just think he was stating his opinion on the matter. Every person is different. You may be an exception to what he's saying. Don't take it so personally. It was just an opinion. Also, I have no part in this conversation and I apologise for my intrusion.

That's not how it seemed to me, but I can't know his intentions. Never worry about joining in on a conversation, that's what this site is about, everyone's opinion is valued.

For me, it depends on who i'm talking about it with.

Depends who you're talking to, e.g. I think it's okay to be uncomfortable talking about it with your parents. I also think if you're not comfortable talking about sex with the person you're having sex with, then you probably shouldn't be doing it.

Why shouldn't you be doing it then? :)

As someone else said, it's as if you aren't mature enough. Like if someone is like "OMG a penis hehehe" or thinks communicating about what they like and don't like and experimenting with their partner is embarrassing and gross. It's different if you've had an abusive past though, since the discomfort has nothing to do with maturity.

Luckily I don't giggle every time I see a penis... that WOULD be awkward. I was raped a few years ago. With the first boyfriend I got after that, the first six months of us having sex I wouldn't even let him see my body..
