Madonna-whore complex. If I am desired, or desire someone, I won’t be respected anymore.

Definitely feeling the grip of having to make sure that I’m outwardly desirable for a partner and feeling like it’s a performance as well

Being stuck in my head rather than enjoying physical sensations. Worrying about taking too long or not having an orgasm.

Not being present and actually feeling desirable sensations or proper arousal because I know I’m not going to orgasm because I take too long to get there and get stuck in my head, so I can’t get there anyways

That sex isn’t something you should do a lot as a woman, but also something you must be good at . Or you won’t keep a man … kind of like darned if you do and darned if you don’t.

I think of my partners pleasure first and about how I look while doing it too. And not being confident in myself either.

I feel like I need to perform. I don’t know why though. I have been married 30yrs to the same man. We have been together since we were 16yrs old. I do know I am going through Menopause and have been. I need to get help for that. I do still feel like sometimes I’m Performing !!

Totally familiar. Of course I want to have an orgasm when with a man but that rarely occurs. It does feel good, and being desired and the source of a man’s pleasure is a huge turn on .but sex as portrayed in our society is definitely for the man
