Dude, I can feel how much this is eating at you, and I want to say right off the bat: you’re not alone. So many guys are struggling with similar thoughts, but nobody talks about it because it’s seen as taboo or embarrassing. It’s not. What you’re feeling is valid, and it doesn’t make you any less of a man.
The HPV worry is real, but it’s important to keep things in perspective. HPV is ridiculously common, and in most cases, it doesn’t cause any serious issues. I know that doesn’t erase the fear, but it’s worth reminding yourself that you’re not some outlier here. Talking to a healthcare professional might help you separate fact from fiction and ease some of the anxiety that’s piling up.
I get why you’d want to destroy your sex drive—it seems like the root of all the frustration. But suppressing it isn’t the solution. Your sex drive isn’t the enemy; it’s just part of being human. Maybe the better approach is to focus on yourself in other ways. Hit the gym, learn a new skill, or dive into something you’re passionate about. When you feel good about yourself, it can change how you view this whole situation.
Finally, give yourself some grace. You’re 21, and there’s so much ahead of you. The pressure to have it all figured out by now is just noise. Take things at your own pace, and don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it. Therapy, friends, or even communities like this one can be a lifeline. You’re not alone, bro. Keep pushing forward.
