Re: Virgin Problems
KK, relax. You're doing fine. As I'm sure you are learning in your classes, finding your sexuality is an internal individual journey of discovery unique to each person. As we mature, overcoming the mindset that sex is bad, instilled in us as children to protect our virtue, happens when we want to be closer and experience deeper intimacy with someone. Right now, you're focussing on the intellectual aspects of sex, I'll bet you will meet someone with which you will really want to delve into the experiential aspects of sexuality. Until then, why not concentrate on soothing and pleasurable time with yourself and feeling sexual. Finding those sexual feelings within yourself, and discovering what it is like to feel like a sexy woman can then be connected with the physical pleasure producing parts of your body. I remember feeling frustrated as you do before I found my sexuality (I'm 46), but believe me, this is a very special journey of discovery that you're on. As long as you don't think there's been any history of sexual abuse, it will come. If you think there was, then you should probably seek a counselor to work through any psychological roadblocks that may exist. You want to build on the experience that you have with kissing and touching, that's your starting point. Some of the most erotic experiences I've had came from light, sensitive caressing that never ended in a sexual act. It would be good to give this to yourself until someone special comes along to explore with.
