I’ve been posting nudes on reddit off and on for a few years at this point and it’s been such an amazing experience. It’s been so great for my self-esteem and it’s been an incredible way to explore my sexuality. I grew up in a very sexually repressed home and have felt so much shame about enjoying sex and being a sexual being.
After a recent break up I started posting pics again but decided that it wasn’t quite scratching enough of an itch for me. I’ve been wanting to feel another body next to mine and really experience pleasure on my terms. In the past I’ve struggled with asserting my needs in general, and this extended to romantic relationships and sex. I recently had the epiphany that I was too afraid to express what I wanted during sex and was going along with what my partner wanted even when it was uncomfortable or even painful for me. I’ve been seeing a lot of growth in other areas of my life around setting boundaries and not letting people treat me in ways that didn’t feel good to me. I decided it was time to make similar strides in my sex life.
