Sex

    I am having serious confidence problems.

    I've always pictured myself as a confident attractive person. Lately, I'm beginning to question that. I met my ex-gf when I was 17 and she's the only woman that I've slept with. I'm now in my early twenties. Everything I know about sex comes from my ex. So I'm thinking, I have a psychological battle when it comes to having sex with other women. There are a lot of women in and outside our group but I just don't look upon them as a one-nighter like most of my friends. I don't know whats wrong with me. Have I lost my mind? Should I just have sex with everything in site?

    Not if you don't want to! Some people aren't into one night stands. I'm not a fan, I've got nothing against them at all, I just personally don't like the idea of sleeping with strangers. I''m in a relationship, but even when i wasn't I didn't like the idea.

    However in saying that it is important to not get hung up on your ex when it comes to sex. It's normal that you would be nervous about having sex with someone new as all you have known is your ex, but in order to move on and start a new relationship it is something that you have to get your head around.

    OP, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. It's very normal to be a little nervous about having sex with someone new - particularly if you've only ever been with one other person before. It doesn't have to be a one night stand situation. You can look upon your second sexual partner in much the same way as you did your first - prioritize finding the right person, getting to know and feel comfortable with her and a sexual relationship will come with time (probably just a little less time than it did with your last). Get to know your next partner and don't be afraid to let her know you're a little nervous. Good Luck! :D
