How can I get over the fear of sex?

22 year old virgin and honestly the entire aspect of sex freaks me out. Like the closeness, someone BEING inside you, the pounding sounds. I’m literally cringing just writing this lol. I know if I stay a virgin forever I’m gonna seem weird but I don't know, it’s something that scares me still

Superb Opinion

  • I think you've watch too much porn and have too much preconceived ideas about what sex really is.

    No, as a person very experienced with sex, take my words for now, that REAL sex is not like porn at all.

    Take driving as an example. If you had not gotten your driver's licence and believe in Fast n Furious as "driving", would you dare to drive?

    Likely not if you're a timid person. But real driving is not the sound neither the look nor the speed.

    Real driving is being responsible, ready to give way, and most importantly be safer.

    Same with real sex. Its not just the nakedness nor the sound nor the actions.

    Its being responsible, ready to give more than take, and most importantly, safe if not safer.

    Orgasms are the by-product of a "proper" sex episode but lovemaking should be the goal.

    With these in mind, sex is not scary. Rather, like driving, it's a necessity in life and it brings pleasure and intimacy and love to your relationship.

    May these points help you put sex in proper perspective. And please, stop watching porn until you had more experience with REAL sex.

  • I think your analysing to much about what maybe the most pleasurable experience your ever compare it too I can feel the pain and confusion you are feeling Firstly your not weird if you hang on to your virginity Now what have you done to research sex and how this can affect you If you don't want sex then you must make this clear to your partner and if they ar devoted to you a you are to them then they will not give you any pressure to do so Is there a reason for your fear from your past Lets discuss this further if you like and see where it goes Some how you have emotional triggers causing this and we can try to look at these by identifying there cause

  • First there’s nothing scary about sex and not what it really looks like in those horrible porn movies. It’s a combine of joy and pleasure and expressing love to your partner especially when you two have an amazing orgasm.✅

    second if you do stay virgin forever that’s not bad, not all people get to experience sex anyways, either for health problems or its just their fate or not the perfect time yet and nothing wrong or shameful about that. Nor its people’s business anyway to ask if you had sex or not.✅

  • Putting the fear of sex aside for a moment, do you have any POSITIVE feelings about it? Like do you have a sex drive or an interest in guys or girls? Have you had an orgasm before?

  • Buy a toy.

    See if you like playing with yourself, then see if you can upgrade to a man.

    If you end up not liking it, I think you might be asexual.

    • It seems like work to me, I don’t like it. It feels useless

    • To use a dildo?

  • Do you fear it or have you not met someone that you felt comfortable enough or sexually attracted to. It doesn't matter what age you are if you are not ready you are not ready. Do you masterbate? Use toys? If your not ready for intimacy with someone else get intimate with yourself first. Explore it feels good and it perfectly normal. Once you have mastered that you might change how you feel. Then work on exploring with a partner. Without pennetration at first. Oral sex.. there is so much you can do other than actual penetration

  • Do you really want to get over it? or you would rather join to a monastery? :)

  • I don't really like sex either, never understood why everyone's so obsessed with it.

  • You don't have to have sex. That's a perfectly fine option too. It's not mandatory. It's supposed to feel good and be fun. If that's not what it would be like for you, don't do it.
    Trust me, I had sex before I was ready, and that's so, so much worse than just being a virgin. It messes with you a lot and makes sex later on harder to enjoy. Please don't push yourself. Don't do something you don't want to.
    If sex is something you want to do at some point and you want to get past this fear, first you have to figure out where it came from and address that

  • Everyone has their fears. There will be a time when you are ready for face that fear.

  • If you have a boyfriend just tell him your fears and that you want to take it super slow. When you're ready to start experimenting with sex set a small goal each time. Try holding each other for long periods of time so you get comfortable with him being close with any sex. Then move onto letting him touch your body starting with your back. Then your tummy, legs, butt, and so on until you're comfortable with him touching your vagina. Then let him try to put a finger inside you and advance from there when you're ready. You have nothing to be embarrassed about.

  • In my experience with my girlfriend, I recommend masturbation and sometimes with penetrative toys. Like anything else it is a muscle, and if you don't use it, it'll be a little more effort in the long run to control

    You're feeling anxious. Honestly just talk to the guy you want and say you're nervous. Ask him to do most of the work the first few times. He likely was going to anyway haha
    Then you can just sit back, relax, and get a feel for it without having to worry

  • It just takes time, perhaps let someone you know who you truly trust to help guide you.

  • watch porn

    watching porn, will sort of get you the idea of what SHOULD happen... now, a lot of it is fake, of course but, if you're afraid, you're likely just afraid of what it'll feel like. so, watch porn. and you'll see sort of what happens

  • There's only pounding sounds if you go rough. if it bothers you just grind.

  • Just date a man without a penis?

  • Have you watched porn? Does anyone look scared to you?

    • ya it does lol

  • At your age, hormones are affecting you. You are horned all the time!
    That’s normal, every girl goes through that. It’s not forever!
    What I suggest is lots and lots of masturbation, it’s safer than fucking some stranger!

  • Maybe be a leabian

  • If you have dick then use coke bottle to hang over it, you can feel the same sensational feelings, if you are a girl then use carrot, radish not Korean, cucumber, it's a vegan sex.

  • If you don't want to have sex, don't force yourself into it.
    There's nothing wrong with staying as a virgin for the rest of your life.

    If you want to change, maybe consult a sexologist to find the reason for your fears

  • Don't overthink it.

    Pounding sounds would be from pornography--not real world.

    Sometime, when things are calm and you are alone, take some time to find a comfortable spot and learn to play with your clitoris. It and your clitoral hood (foreskin) are just like a penis and will give you tremendous relief... Start there...

  • Learn and practice solo

    • I don’t like it
