crossroads1988 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 So my repressed sexuality has pushed me to the point where I can barely walk in public without popping a boner at the first woman that walks past. On the flip side, I can't talk to a girl without clenching up like I'm holding up a floodgate, or I say something really stupid and it all falls apart. I'm 25 years old, I'm not entirely a virgin because I sowed some wild oats the first couple years of college, but shortly after that my depression kicked in real hard and I started taking anti-depressents, which effectively severed my libido. I've been off them for about 3 years now, and my drive has soared through the roof. If I don't masturbate ever other day I get withdrawn and anxious. I really want to cut down on my masturbation habits because I think that's a large part of why I'm in this difficult situation now. I tried the no fap challenge, because I read it was an effective way to attract women, build muscle tone, and clear acne. But by the 7th day I felt like a ghost. It was so unreal, I would literally glance at a girl and I could feel a rise. I've thought about hiring a call girl just to get back into the swing of it, but I did some research here and some other sites, and everyone described it as a bad decision. Plus it's really expensive, and I could get arrested. I'm tall, educated, athletic, and well spoken. But this thing that I avoided for so long has almost consumed me. I'm not sure what kind of advice I'm looking for, I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place (no pun intended.) Is there something wrong with me? Do I need to be fixed? Part of me is fascinated by these sensations that take almost nothing to cause, but the bigger part of me just wants to feel alive. Link to post Share on other sites
BlametheIrish Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) What have you been doing to put yourself out there? What are you doing to attract potential mates? Fyi masturbating every other day is not alot (by my standards) by your standards I'd be the horniest woman in all history lmao. If you freeze up talking to women, is it all women or just women you're interested in? If you can find a wonan to befriend whom you dont want to bone, she could be a good asset in helping you to communicate with woman without freezing up. Just a thought. One more thing, if you do get a date make sure to masturbate before hand. First so you wobt have a,mega boner during the date. And second so you can last longer if the date ends up going in a certain direction. Edited November 7, 2013 by BlametheIrish horrible horrible phone typing skills. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author crossroads1988 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 What have you been doing to put yourself out there? What are you doing to attract potential mates? Well I work a lot, but its a very customer friendly job, so I try and talk to people as much as possible. I've been going to the gym a lot to gain some muscle. Other than that it's mostly trying to engage with people where ever I am, grocery shopping, waiting in line for coffee, but I keep running into the same problem. I'm kind of a light weight, so I usually don't do the bar scene. Lame, I know. If you freeze up talking to women, is it all women or just women you're interested in?

I guess it's all women, but it's especially true for women I'm interested in. I feel this rush and I get really excited and nervous at the same time. I try and stay cool and keep asking questions, but whenever they throw the ball back my way I say something really dumb or just laugh even if it's not funny. They say this is a problem that I just need to work on, but it keeps happening and I'm not sure how to move forward. Link to post Share on other sites

You clearly suffer from a lack of confidence and that is always going to make you less attractive to women. It is very common with most men when they are around potential mates. Most people get nervous and stumble on their words when trying to impress people. People do it at job interviews, on dates, in front of bosses, etc. One of the reasons people go to bars to meet people is because alcohol subdues your inhibitions and you are more outgoing. If that isn't your scene though it's no big deal. Make sure you are working out because you want to feel better about yourself and not because you think it will impress women. Confidence is way more attractive then huge muscles to any woman worth having. Cold approaching is nerve racking for even the most experienced serial dater. I admire you for trying but I feel the rejection rate of the cold approach may be hurting your self esteem further. Try to get to know someone you are more familiar with and practice collecting yourself and reducing nervousness. Like anything else you will get better with practice. By the way, masturbating frequently is considered healthy by most so I don't think you are overly horny or unusual. You have nothing on me. Good luck to you. Link to post Share on other sites
Mcle Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Try going to yoga. The breathing you learn is very effective outside of class to calm you down. Also, you will get used to being quiet in a room full of women. Good luck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
