physical arousal, but no emotion or desire that goes with it

Postby dividedtruth89 » Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:35 pm

Hey guys, so I never really hang out here, I hang out on another forum, but I am wondering if anyone can relate to a problem I've been having.

lately, if I really nervous or scared, I start to get ridiculously wet/tight feeling. I only started having this problem when I started going to therapy for cutting issues. Today in therapy it got so bad that I was FREAKED out I was gonna stain my Ts couch. I excused myself to the bathroom and wished to God I had chosen black shorts and not khakis...

Anybody else get this? Is this normal, or a sign of a problem that can be fixed? Keep in mind there is no attraction associated to it...it's not like I'm attracted to my T or something or even thinking about something sexual when it happens. It just HAPPENS.

I don't have a boyfriend right now so I'm not having sex or anything, but I don't particularly have any desire for that stuff right now. I don't necessarily think that's a problem, though. In the past when I've been dating someone these physical feelings seemed to be normally associated to the desires/emotions that SHOULD go with them. Now it's so different though.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, dividedtruth89! Maybe this is how your body reacts to fear and stress, so that the situation will seem less frightening. Maybe it has something to do with abuse (other people have mentioned this kind of thing too).
