Hi peeps I'm a 19 year old girl and basically I have zero self confidence when it comes to being with my boyfriend. I've always had body confidence issues, didnt have a boyfriend until 17 and even then never got past the kissing stage. now things are getting more interesting and i understand that he likes me the way i am. this is all fine but we are admittedly both virgins and do not want to rush things, which is fine for me but although my confidence has come a long way over the past couple of months, i still cant bring myself to explore other areas that doesnt involve sex. he has commented that i am like a statue and dont move or seem to enjoy anything he does to me, but its not that i dont enjoy it its the fact that i cant show this without feeling embarrased by my reaction, or feel silly returing it, because i have always felt that things like this are too dirty and disgusting. im relieved that we're not all about the sex, because mentally im not quite ready yet, however i know that one day the time will come, and im not exactly afraid of that, its just that i need to feel confident enough for me to actually show my apprecitation and know what it is that i like and dont like, and find out the same for him. this is really frustating me as it feels like my lack of self confidence in the past is affecting me now more than i thought and i cant seem to get over it. ive never been one to flaunt myself because it just repulses me that i am doing something like that. ive never considered myself sexy and so have hidden away. i wish i could feel less embarrased but i cant, it all feels so wrong yet so right. i dont want to be a virgin for the rest of my life!!
