about having intimate relationships with visible scars
hi everyone, i’m 20yo and i’ve never been in a relationship so i’m a virgin and i have visible self harm scars on my legs so this makes it even harder to see myself get comfortable enough to be intimate with someone else.
since i worry about this topic and have never heard anyone else talk about it i wanna ask for some advice, how do you address the matter if the partner sees your scars and asks about them? i feel like a lot of people look down upon people with self harm scars so i’m afraid that in a situation where i have to be naked i would feel judged instead of having a good time.
i know that usually it depends on the situation but i feel like having some kind of advice on the issue would help me a bit to feel more comfortable if a situation like that were to happen, and also maybe make me feel a little less stressed about this issue.
i would really appreciate it if anyone is willing to share some thoughts or experiences, if you have any suggestions please let me know!
