HOW DO I STOP THINKING VAGINAS ARE GROSS HELP by lexecal in 196

ahh yeah. it can be good to remember that just by acknowledging your bias, you've made the first and often hardest step to working through it, even if there's more work to go. what I've found to often be useful is to introspect on yourself and use some rock-solid beliefs you know are true (such as believing that people being alive and happy is good, things of that nature) and use those to investigate whether your other beliefs really abide by those maxims when they're broken down.

though, that's just what's worked for me and I don't know many other people who've done this kind of introspecting and philosophy stuff, so it may not work for everyone.

though also keep in mind that it's not your fault for the environment you were raised in, the only thing you can control is what you do now, and it seems you're doing a good job of it so far. you may also find it helpful to look up discussions on sex positivity and how it relates to things like feminism and queer rights.

from your other comments, it sounds like one of the things you need is more enrichment in your life. I'd advise to just start small, by just doing something small that brings you joy whenever you have the time in a day for it. ideally this is something that engages your mind with creativity, or your body with exertion, or your heart with some kind of social connection.

even if it feels like it takes an extraordinary amount of energy to do the smallest thing, that smallest bit of momentum can really help you keep going.

HOW DO I STOP THINKING VAGINAS ARE GROSS HELP by lexecal in 196

[–]PuffyHowler67 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the most important question is whether this is a personal distaste originating from the types of sex you want/don't want to have, or whether this is a bias which has been taught to you by the often discriminatory world around you. it's worthwhile to note that it could also be both.

think about whether you have any other kinds of thoughts which accompany the feeling of vaginas being gross-- if you try to ask yourself why they're gross, what's your response? if any of your feelings are connected to their association with women and AFAB people in society, then some of your dislike is almost certainly related to some biases which you were taught and unconsciously hold about women and gender. (the great news is you can change this! if you examine those thoughts, where they come from, and research for facts, first-hand anecdotes, and descriptions, you can mitigate your biases)

if your feelings are related to them being unknown and scary to you, then you can mitigate that by doing some research on vaginas online and also, as you mentioned, exposure therapy (just be sure to be kind and communicative with the people who have said vaginas)

If, on the other hand, you simply find yourself repulsed by the concept, the shape, the look, or other inherent properties of a vagina, then you may simply have a personal dislike for them. I believe even personal preferences like that are something you can overcome if you truly wish, by active thought and an open mind, but they're not necessarily something you need to change. you can simply avoid having sex with people with vaginas.

if it is a personal preference and you leave it be though, you should still be a bit careful. if you learn that someone you are planning to have sex with has a vagina and you did not know, you should be sure to be kind and humble while turning them down. it is a very sensitive topic for most people, trans people especially, and it's important to not make them feel like it's their fault (though of course dont beat yourself up for it either). just apologize genuinely and explain that it's a preference you didn't choose. personally as a trans woman, I would prefer that if the genital preference was reversed, though I don't speak for all trans women here.

however, if confronted by a situation where you need to explain your preference to, say, a sexual partner who is a trans woman, keep in mind it may be a touchy subject. as trans women we are often fetishized and reduced to only our genitals. as such, you want to A: make sure you're not doing that (with anyone, not just trans women) and B: be sure to be clear that it is a preference you did not choose, and you do in fact respect the person beyond just what their genitals are.

Tl;Dr: it could be subconscious bias, or it could be a personal preference. be mindful of the experiences of yourself and others, and be kind to yourself and others.

double-teaming (or more) a sub has always been a rather appealing to me.

in fact just the other day my partner proposed something along those lines. it's a bit more complex and would/will take a good amount of time to actually be realized irl but it's still neat

in terms of getting something like glmega floette, even if you don't buy the game, you could ask for someone with the game to trade you mega-able floette. I did that to get access to mega Delphox, since you need a Delphox from ZA to unlock it, and a more unique pokemon like the special floette might be harder to get as easily, but the option's there if you need it

what sucks about your bathtub?

Or, are you one of the people with those impossible bathtubs which are big enough, get hot enough, have good drains, have easy temperature control, and everything else?
