Overwhelmed. There are only one or two I would share it with. I don't share with family. My parents are gone. I don't discuss personal matters with strangers. I have no friendship with women. It matters to me when the beloved care, not when others care or say they care.

I like intimacy. Real intimacy. I like the idea of man and woman having only each other. A unified body. What help do you need if you get it from your beloved?

@yestestvennaya In my experience it's always been a good thing to have people in my corner.

I appreciate that everyone is different, I enjoy learning this.

I'm glad that you have the support of your partner.

This post wasn't about judging. It was just a question.
