Does anyone struggle with intimacy?

[JoeandJane]

Hello. Anyone else have these issues? I realise I've always been very timid around affection and intimacy. I was a late starter and very nervous around boys when I was younger. Didn't help I had horrible comments and my mum is a prude whose very distant.
when in a relationship and the sex tails off I'm relieved. Maybe I just have a low sex drive?

Interesting. I was very anxious around boys/young men. My mum wasn’t a prude, but she always told me l didn’t need a boyfriend. My dad died when l was 4 which l guess may have added to the anxiety.

I’m not sure l have much of a sex drive. I didnt have one night stands or casual affairs like so many of my friends. Not for moral reasons, but l just didn’t. Too scared and low sex drive l guess.

my mum's a prude who never even hugged me growing up and still giggles when she says the word pregnant or period
I had a huge issue with intimacy thanks to her, however I have a huge sex drive but I've only been with 2 men in my life, and I dread to think how id ever be intimate with anyone else should we break up.
I can't even touch a person's hand who isn't my family.

I've found my people! I thought all boys were evil! my mum lacks maturity I think.
