Romantic Spedometer: or Why I'm Repressed

July 3, 1999

I've been thinking about sex lately.

All right, I think about it all the time, but recently, I've been analyzing it. Why am I so slow (some would say repressed) in bed (and bed-like situations)? It's very frustrating. I love sex and I love sexual stuff (bad description, but I don't know how else to group it), but when it comes down to it,...it scares me, I guess. I almost get frigid--heck, I get anxiety attacks in bed!

I've analyzed this with the help of others and I realized that my little sexual activity has come very early in the relationships. And I'm not talking about sex, but the stuff that falls in the "everything but..." category. And it hasn't mattered whether I'm with a guy or a girl. I've had the same reaction to my girlfriends that I've had to my boyfriends.

I want to do the stuff, so what's holding me back???

Maybe I just don't know what to do? I'm serious! I understand the end stuff (oral sex, intercourse) but what about what comes before then?

Foreplay.

Whoever thought that could be a scary word? *grins* But yes, foreplay. I don't know what to do for foreplay. I tell you, I feel a lot more sympathetic towards guys now. We women just expect them to know what to do when we don't know what to do.

So when the foreplay is end goal, what do you do? Or when there are lines not to be crossed? What do you do when you're not sure where the lines are?

*sighs*

This sex stuff is so complicated. Parents opposed to their kids having sex should make them try to answer these questions. The kids would be so frustrated that they'd renounce sex & stick to masturbation. That may not completely placate the parents but it has got to be better than having std-riddled, pregnant teens.

Well, I still don't have any answers. In fact, I have more questions now then I did when I started writing this entry. I guess I'm just going to have to brave the front lines of battle and experiment.
