    I feel like I have been stripped of my sexuality. Somewhere from when I was young, I think was conditioned to view sex as "bad". Humans are sexual beings, its natural, we are supposed to do it. However to me sex is something that is scary. It feels like something I shouldn't be doing. I feel the urges to want to have sex with girls, but my brain tones them down. "Your disgusting, why would you do that its bad".

    I watched a video where the dude said that your actions have to be aligned with your heart and your thoughts. I feel like my heart wants that sexual connection, even craves it. But my head is like noooooo. I want to be okay with being sexual. Help!

    My thread deleted but I got it back, this was the first version I like how it was written better
    ---------


    I think that ever since I was little I have been conditioned in some sort of way to view sex and doing things with girls as bad. I am not sure how it has come to this. I think I have suppressed my sexuality. Humans are sexual beings, we are meant to have sex. Its normal and natural. However to me something about it is scary. I feel like I shouldn't be doing it for some reason.

    I watched a video where they explained that your actions need to be aligned with your heart and your thoughts. I think my thoughts are going against my heart. My heart wants a sexual connection, it craves one. But my head is like nooooooo. I want to be okay with having sex and being a sexual being.

    This video explains what Im talking about
     
  4. This is an important goal. Are you someone who is always concerned with being seen as good, not causing offense, and pleasing people? Sometimes people like this have trouble embracing their sexual side. If so I’d recommend the book No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover. Or maybe your disconnect is rooted in something completely different. Keep working on it, though, because acceptance of your sexual nature in an integrated way is a beautiful and powerful thing. Good luck.

    First you need to address that ”conditioning.” it's creating dissonance. Why does your mind think it's bad? Where did you learn this? We're there experienced that occurred to shape this belief?

    The second thing to do is engage your sexuality, in a healthy and natural way, with a partner. Take your time and go slow. Make sure your partner understands your predicament.

    Watched this video all the way through, and he made me realise that all the things he says men need to do, I have no idea how to do. I have no idea how to be a "sexual being" and I have no idea how to learn.

    I think the way to learn is to send it, which is freaky. IDK maybe like watch how people interact in media? I wish there was some sort of guide lol

    Part of it is just talking to women. The interaction is part of what stokes the “sexual being” within us. Their smile, their laugh, the way they play with their hair, or send flirty texts or tell a funny story—a million things make us want and desire them. You won’t get that from porn so you have to get it in real life.

    another part of it is knowing what you want: “I want to date women, I want a girlfriend, I wan to meet a hot woman and have incredible sex” etc. Then you have to start making it happen.

    You also need some inner exploration—what do you like about women? Which women are you attracted to? Do you have a particular type (voluptuous redheads with a confident sexuality? Geeky ladies who read manga? CrossFit ladies?)? When you see/meet a woman who attracts you, what are you feeling? Embrace it and think on it.

    A big part of it (at least for me) is knowing what you like, not being ashamed or apologetic about it and exploring it as far as you can.

    I think you just stumble and figure it out naturally. Don’t stare, be a gentleman, be honest, don’t let hesitation kill you and remember you’re human and will mess up.

    Reading the Bible had the opposite effect on me: it repressed my sexuality. I do not criticize you for faith, nonetheless.
