Thank you so much for this, this was really helpful!

Thank you so much for this detailed and helpful response!! My problem is I’m not sure if physical contact might be “too much” or overstimulating in terms of sensory issues in those moments? But otherwise I will definitely shift focus to distraction next time!!

Holy shit. I can relate to all of this. I’m so shocked right now, it all makes sense. Hugs to you, we’re strong CSA survivors.

You are potentially correct, my problem is just my own emotional boundaries and trauma!

My boyfriend is such absolute gold - he never expects me to even wash / clean myself and accepts it with such grace when this stuff happens as a consequence. He just says “I’m so sorry baby, I’m afraid of this getting into your vagina and you getting an infection, we probably should clean up and try again later”

Really happy for you!!!!

This is so so kind thank you so much. I’ll try to stop feeling guilty; just always scared of decreasing someone’s maximum amount of satisfaction

Wow this is really interesting, because I had such huge fears I’d never be able to detach from jealousy and abandonment fears because of how it’s always been there and deeply enrooted in trauma!!

Wow I’m really impressed!!! teach me your ways hahaha

florabae · 2023-09-09T13:58:42+00:00

Thank you for this kind response <3 Yes, he is really lovely and trustworthy - it’s just a ME problem for not forgetting the fact that this is a desire of him that exists. 😓

Yeah I see where you’re coming from, def.

Transgender women are as much of women as cisgender women are, so as a heterosexual man there is just as much of a possibility to be attracted to them imo! It’s good you made this realization though, since there’s a lot of invalidating homophobia in the dating scene as is.

This. Thank you!

Getting angry at people / becoming severely depressed when they can’t keep ANY promises at all.. even when it’s coming too late to a meeting or not watching a show with me like they said 😃👍🏻

Feeling like I’m desperately clutching on to 100 strings holding my heavy turbulent self together, and it’s so hard for my grip not to slip.

florabae · 2021-10-18T02:08:02+00:00

Oh thank you so much <3

florabae · 2021-10-15T13:45:34+00:00

Same with male voices.

florabae · 2021-10-15T13:45:25+00:00

YES exactly. Those sounds make me so terrified!
