(Whatever your relationship status)
Very nervous
Nervous and embarrassed
I get anxious
i tell her openly
Ashamed
I am nervous and embarrassed as hell. But ultimately I would like to be comfortable about it as I feel as though I have a pretty good judge of character and are entrusting them to be an understanding person if I have decided to be intimate with them.
Took me several years, but I can tell her now.
A little awkward but this way of think about it as an early warning for my partner is a nice way to look at it
Awkward, uncomfortable and nervous
It’s a tough topic to discuss and I get anxious because I overthink what the response might be, negative!! But it never is.
nervous, anxious, very embarrassed
A bit hesitant, but I can get around to doing it. I’ve done it a couple of times in the past.
Nervous, I’ve done it though and my current partner is only supportive. I came early a few times with and ex and she responded so negatively, like angry at me for not meeting her needs through penetration, and it really stuck with me as a terrible experience.
Very uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Anxious and kind of a vibe killer
Little embarrassing but open to the discussion
It can be difficult to discuss. I want to avoid making it seem as though it’s my partner’s problem
I feel like people are much more receptive to the conversations in reality compared to what I think they are in my head
Having a conversation made me much less anxious. Hearing that my partner understood and was open to working on it with me made me feel so strong.
