How can I overcome the fear of sex and intimacy and frustration?
I’m 32 years old man and I’ve never had sex.
Throughout my life, I’ve had a couple of opportunities where I was with a girl, kissing on the sofa, but inside I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted it to end quickly and for her to leave. After those experiences, I still wanted to invite the girl out again, but fear paralyzes me because I don’t know what to do when we’re both naked. I want to clarify that I have social anxiety and I take clonazepam and fluoxetine, prescribed by several psychologists and psychiatrists I’ve seen throughout my life. Despite that, my libido is very high, and although many people say it’s not good to watch porn, I feel an overwhelming need to consume erotic content as a way to "fill" the gap of not having sex. At this point in my life, I feel like I should urgently go with a prostitute and risk not getting an erection or not enjoying it due to the nerves. I talk about this topic all the time with my parents, but they don’t know how to help me. My mind is constantly trying to understand why I’ve never experienced sex the way other "normal" people do, why something so natural for others has never happened to me. I’m losing my mind, and I don’t know what else to do.
