I think the most interesting challenge for me has been discovering what turns me on with my gf. Watching porn this early in life (4th grade) gave me such weird and unrealistic expectations on what sex is like. And I’m learning even in my young twenties that sex is not like porn. It sounds obvious but it was so jarring being with a real girl the first time after watching so much porn. The anxiety and shame and fear I let creep into my body doing something new the first time (and every time after that) felt so overwhelming I started seeing sex as like a chore - a thing to “do” and pretend I enjoy so I can please the person I’m with
Only recently have I started taking back the narrative and exploring what I like that turns me on - control, spanking , playing with her butt. I felt shameful wanting to do some of these things but I feel like that’s what works for me and it’s scary to think I could hurt her but she seems to like it. But I feel strange letting myself go like that, almost fearful.
