does anyone else feel extremely anxious about sex? nothing bad sex-related has happened to me, so i'm not sure why this worries me. i've been having a lot of sex since i was 14, and as long as i can remember i've felt inadequate. i excessively ruminate about how i'm making my partner feel, how i look naked, how the sounds im making sound, if any part of my body repulses my partner, if i'm boring, if i'm not making them feel good, if i'm doing something embarrassing, if i say something or do something strange. i have talked to my partner about this many times, and his responses also cause me a great deal of anxiety. he says the sex is "never bad but it really doesnt matter" and "we don't have to." i know he says these things to try and comfort me but they just come off as he's trying not to be insulting and i wish he seemed more enthusiastic about having sex with me. i feel very paranoid and i feel like my anxiety is making the sex even worse for him. opinions?
