Hey man, I really feel for you—prostatitis is no joke. Dealing with a chronic condition that affects something as personal and intimate as your sexuality can be incredibly tough. It’s no surprise that it’s left you feeling conflicted and unsure about how to move forward. But first off, I think it’s amazing that you’ve met someone who makes you feel this way. That’s not easy to come by, and it shows there’s potential for connection, even with the challenges you’re facing.
The physical side of things is definitely a hurdle, but it’s not necessarily an insurmountable one. Have you been able to explore different treatments for your prostatitis recently? Medical advancements happen all the time, and there may be therapies or pain management techniques you haven’t tried yet. A specialist, especially one who understands the connection between prostatitis and sexual health, could offer some new insights. You don’t have to face this alone—there’s professional help out there.
On the emotional side, I totally get the fear of rejection and the worry about being judged. That experience at the party would mess with anyone’s confidence, but it’s important to remember that not everyone thinks or behaves that way. The girl you’re seeing now seems to genuinely like you for who you are. If she’s worth pursuing, she’ll care about you beyond just the physical aspect. That said, being honest with her about your condition (when the time feels right) might be the way forward. It’ll take courage, but if she’s understanding, it could deepen your connection.
Finally, try not to put so much pressure on yourself about “performing” or doing everything perfectly the first time. Sex isn’t about lasting a specific amount of time or living up to unrealistic expectations. It’s about connection, trust, and intimacy. Focus on building that with her first, and the rest can follow naturally. If she’s the right person, she’ll be patient, and you can figure out what works for both of you together.
