Terrified of a relationship
Hi I am like many of you all a sufferer of PE. I have had a bad sexual encounter for my first time and have become fully convinced that a girl will not work with me to help this issue so I’ve pretty much completely avoided sex. I’m 23, fit, (some anoint as pretty attractive). Yet I have never had a girlfriend and completely avoid sex and dating because of this fear. Another big thing I rarely see addressed is that I can often last with regular masturbation as long as no porn is involved. I do know that I’m probably making things worse by being so avoidant but I can’t seem to get over the fear and assuming a girl with just be disappointed when it comes time. If anyone has any advice on getting over this as I continue to try to solve this PE issue I would be tremendously grateful. Is there any women out there that truly do not care if you please them in other ways besides penetration? How do I make it clear that I have this issue and not lose the opportunity to finally have a girlfriend?
TL:DR: would love advice on approaching dating despite PE
