| Something that's been bothering me the past month or so.
I noticed someone asking the same question here, but I wanted my own topic because I had some additional questions. Everyone on the forums here are great, so I trust responses.
My freshman year at school, having sex wasn't a problem at all. I had a girlfriend for a while, and the sex was great. We broke up, nothing really happened for me for a while. Just random hook ups here and there (no sex).
Eventually, I was dating someone else.. for about three years. During all this time we didn't have sex, hardly did anything at all. I was too desperate to say anything in fear of losing the relationship, so I stuck with it. So for three years, I was at the mercy of just making out... getting kinda far, and then that was it. A tease.
We broke up after all that time, and a few months later I met someone else. We dated for a few months.. attempted sex, and oral multiple times and nothing would happen. I would reach complete arousal, and then it would stop and decline. I'm not impotent, I can do this on my own, hahah.
But when her and I split (not over sex... but that annoyed her, obviously), she accused me of being gay! I brushed that off, because I know I'm not and I figured she was saying that to piss me off. Besides, I had 3 or more hook ups and I didn't have much of a problem them with those girls. Once, with the one girl, because when things started to get further, I started thinking about my ex getting pissed at me for not performing well.
But since then, I think I've developed this sex performance anxiety. Because whenever I go back with a girl, I start freaking out. Worrying whats going to happen. And then that gay comment pops into my head and starts messing with me! haha. To the point where I get so anxious thinking about it, I don't even want to go out in fear I'll be putting myself in this situation. I'm trying to help myself though, this isn't something I talk to with my friends about.
What I've concluded is that it's a mix of me being really particular with who I'm with (the ex that accused me was not my body type at all, I think I was just on a rebound), and anxiety in itself.
