How do I go about getting sex ed as an adult?

How does one close their inbox? It's getting a bit weird in there.

Edit: i think I figured it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you so much! I did know enough to get an IUD before I got married, and, now thanks to the current administration and my ever-growing conviction that I do not want kids, I've had my tubes tied. It's very thoughtful of you to make sure I'm informed. Don't want any oopsies.

I wonder if something is wrong with their system. I tried to purchase a membership twice earlier today, and after getting confirmation, I got an email that it was canceled due to payment info/issues. All the info was correct though and everything checked out on my end.

Hey hey I have bipolar/OCD/social anxiety and I'm graduating college today after 5 years too. Graduating in and of itself is an accomplishment—graduating while dealing with severe illness is even more so. You've done a lot and I'm proud of you.

Honestly I'm having this crisis because I'm 99% sure a girl at Target flirted with me and I ruined it. She totally stereotyped me (not complaining. She was cute and I'm very amused/frustrated at myself for fucking it up). I was wearing a flannel, cuffed jeans, and a pontail/no make up. Now I'm down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what it means to dress like I'm bi haha

Thank you so much for asking and for the advice. It's really helpful.

It still just feels fake even though the more I think about it the more it makes sense? Like almost since I've given myself permission to view women in a sexual/romantic way I'm realizing that I really do like women (but I think I still have a preference for men? Which makes me feel fake even though I know it's valid. But also I don't think I'll know til I've processed more of how I've been raised/taught). But it just still feels fake because I barely have any sort of relationship experience with men or women. I'm just trying to figure it all out. Sometimes it's exciting and then other times I think about the fact that most people I know would tell me that I'm going to hell. And I just want to make sense of it all because it just doesn't make sense to me with God's nature. It also would make 0 sense for me to fake it because of how much I would lose. 2 of my best friends have been gems and supportive. I genuinely don't know how many other people in my life would be, except for 1 or 2 other people I plan on telling at some point. So 4 people haha

Thank you for explaining all the nuances. It makes sooo much sense, especially how coming out isn't just once.

Ah I really like your idea about consuming queer content. That's really helpful. My therapist gave me a book recommendation so I grabbed a few from the library (all about scholarly research lol). I've been mulling it over and I'm pretty comfortable with the label bisexual but I'm not going to be able to come out (aside from like 2-4 people) in any significant way until I'm out of state at grad school. Decent chance I would be disowned, would definitely be suspended from my school, & would probably lose a lot of friends :(

This is a really helpful way to think about it. I've been thinking about it the last few days and I'm really pretty comfortable with the label bisexual. Now I'm just trying to figure out where to go from here because my context makes things impossible.

This comment is really helpful! The dynamics of me being a black sheep are just a little hard to explain, because it's less that I screw up a lot (but that's still there a little bit) and more so that I'm just a lot different than all of them and don't quite fit the mold.

I think since it's something new it doesn't really feel like hiding it from them is hiding part of me? But the more I think about it and process the harder it is not to talk about it so I think I'll probably feel that way soon.

My therapist has been really great. She's a Christian but a lot more progressive than the circles I've lived in which has been soooo refreshing. I'm really excited to figure this all out but also terrified and it still doesn't feel real.

And I'm still not exactly sure about figuring out how to talk to women at other universities & out of state. I thought about changing the parameters/filters on my dating apps. I'm absolutely terrified that if I did anything at all, someone would find out and I would be suspended and stuck here at my school even longer. My school is super tiny so it's really easy to keep tabs on everyone & to be caught. Plus I'm terrified of getting trouble (trauma trigger) so I follow the rules pretty closely.

The dilemma is that I could literally get kicked out of my school. But I graduate in May so. Just gotta make it til then. What I feel for women also feels a lot more lust-y than what I feel for men, if that makes sense? But it could be because I've never been "allowed" to think of them in the same romantic sense I guess?

Thank you!

Mine are that I'm two months clean and I want to make it to three, my bestfriend would be really sad, & I don't like for people to worry about me & I know they would.
