My girlfriend and I have been together for 2 years ishhh at this point, and I never had any real problem with physical touch. However, we began exploring a bit for the first time recently, and although I do like her touch and whatnot, simultaneously it just feels uncomfortable with clothes off. Pretty much all the time our skin is connected. I feel pretty exposed and vulnerable during sex, tbh. I know that’s just an integral part of sex, but I’m precisely making this post because that fear is irrational and I don’t have anybody to talk to about it, plus I am embarrassed to bring it up to her. It’s probably partly religious trauma and I can’t really figure out why else I would feel this way, although there probably is some other factor. Do you guys have any ideas as to how I could get over this? I really want to be able to enjoy her without feeling guilty, exposed, vulnerable, etc. It’s irritating I can’t give her the best because of these feelings. I don’t know if she has noticed it so far, but Im worried about talking to her about it because I don’t want to ruin her fun, and she already has anxiety issues so I don’t want her to feel like she has poor sexual performance. Sorry for the rant and long post.
