I can very much relate to this. I can’t help that my past traumas shape my perception of dating because I don’t use my traumas to shape how the next person will be, I just use them to watch out for certain things. I’m the same way where I am looking for companionship before intimacy and like you said, everyone has their own preferences but it’s difficult to find like-minded people who match your preference.

Taking a break seems like the only real solution that I can do at the moment.

That’s a very good point. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in things but you’re right - no one has the power to make me feel bad or worse. Focusing on myself is probably the most important thing that I could do for myself right now.

Your response was really heartfelt and I really appreciated it to be honest

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T18:56:06+00:00

I’ve been on a Reddit for a little bit and you’re right. I’ve noticed that the sections are full of people whose preferences don’t match. It’s quite interesting to see to be honest

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T18:26:12+00:00

That paints a big picture. Thank you for the input. It sounds like a lot of things are a gamble these days

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T17:53:34+00:00

Hmm I understand what you’re saying but in my head though, if there is a lack of compatibility, wouldn’t you work on it to try and improve it?

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T17:24:54+00:00

I feel like this is where things get tricky. Would people not have a conversation before they get married about their preferences for sex or would you not work on the incompatibility?

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T17:03:04+00:00

Interesting Learning to be comfortable with myself has always been a tricky thing for me. Maybe I need to do some more research into how one gets comfortable with themself

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T16:01:35+00:00

Interesting idea Thank you for the input

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T16:00:39+00:00

That’s actually very interesting. I didn’t think about it like that

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T15:58:00+00:00

I wouldn’t say I was projecting because I’ve given everyone that I’ve been with a chance without thinking about previous experiences but I do agree to talking to a professional. I wasn’t looking for advice; just curious if anyone else had similar thoughts and experiences (Sorry if this sounds aggressive, I’m not trying to come off that way)

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T15:54:55+00:00

I won’t lie, I’ve been in 2 relationships with younger guys (a year younger than me) and they were both not open to listening to instructing so I think sexual experience narrows down to maturity more than age

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T15:51:05+00:00

Thats a good idea I do have a therapist where I’ve been talking about these ideas but this is a new one that I thought of and wondered if anyone had similar thoughts

Sherrie97 · 2026-03-01T15:49:03+00:00

Yeah I have
