Newbie catjones08 Posted December 3, 2007 Newbie Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi, my name is Catherine...I'm 21 years old, a senior in college and extremely nervous about being on this website! I'm attempting to move on from a "friends with benefits" situation (It's complicated) and gain an awareness of my body. The friend/sexual partner was my first and only partner and I've never pleasured myself...I've tried, but it hasn't worked.I actually just purchased my first vibrator (hasn't arrived yet) and am on here at the advice of my therapist. lolP.S: I've also stuggled with an eating disorder which plays a pretty big role in my body/sexual discomfort. I would love to hear if anyone else is in this situation.Anyway, hello... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jesso Posted December 3, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Welcome Cat! Don't be nervous here. We all try to be very open, honest and supportive here! There's really a great community of mixed personalities on the board On a side note, I have had several roomates with eating disorders. Its amazing to me how so many women can hide this so well. The hardest situation for me was actually when I lived with one who had just gotten out of a program for anorexia. It was really hard to see her struggle through fighting back for the strength to not need that crutch. I hope you are getting help for this, be it a program, something to boost your self esteem, etc. Learn to get comfortable with your body every day. It takes time. Happy browsing here and ask away if you have any questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Valntyn Posted December 3, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Welcome! We're pretty open, blunt and honest about things, so I don't expect you'll be shy or nervous for too long. Welcome to the site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members calvin Posted December 4, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi CatJ,welcome to the forum, I was really nervous when I first posted too, I still am a little I guess, but people here are really welcoming so read around and join in the fun, looking forward to seeing you post again.And isnt it weird how our bodies are the most natural things in the world, but somehow we end up feeling so self-concious about them? Here is probably a good place to start understanding that your body is totally natural and so nothing to be embarrassed about at all.

Members pappyld04 Posted December 4, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Welcome CatJ! As you may notice this is a board that is truly concerned with helping others. Not everyone will agree on every subject but that is to be expected. We were all raised in different places by different parents and role models. That is one of the best things about this area. You take what you like and give where you can. The only thing we knowabout you is what you tell us so anonymity is as secure as you let it be. And I really don't think anyone here would run about saying things to others about another in here even if they did know you. There are people who are very easily identifiable if you sought to find it but I haven't seen that happen. I would like to point out that things have been known to appear different than they were intended so if you feel offended please be honest and state this and it will be cleared up immediately if not sooner. I read something a while back that said that things read at the other end of a connection has a good chance of appearing different than the intent of the person who posted it. Please keep this in mind if something raises your ire here. It more than likely was not intended to. I hope you enjoy your time here and pitch in wherever you feel you can assist!!!

Tyger Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Welcome welcome!! I hope you enjoy this site! Just keep in mind that we can't "see" you in person, so you are fairly anonymous here, meaning we only know you by what we read. So feel free to ask questions, for we don't think people asking questions that may sound silly to you, as silly. The only foolish question is the unasked question! Welcome again!
