Do scars from cutting prevent you from having sex?

[kiwi93]

Hello.

I have several psychological condtions. Depression is the worst I have to deal with. Anyways, I've been cutting to cope up with the things going on in my life. So, I have so many scars on my left arm, and my thighs. I made up this story about how I had an accident that needed surgery as a cover story for my scars on my arm. But, I cannot do the same for those on my thighs. They are not just cuts; but, words like "hate", "love", "lonely". I'm really anxious about havinge sex because of these scars. Any advise?

:what::confused:

Honestly, do they prevent you from having sex? Nope.

Scars aren't some medical condition that means no sex. It's about you being comfortable. If whomever you're having sex with isn't okay with your scars/cuts, they're not worth having sex with. You need to be honest, really. It's not worth lying over, to anyone, but especially to the one you love and want to have sex with. Lying about them won't get you anywhere good, possibly even in a worse place.

Maybe that's a motivation to stop- because of a person/sex.

Like Val said it won't stop you from having sex it's more the emotional side of it that holds people back. You should really feel comfortale with the person before you let him in that far.
Make sure you are honest with him and trust him and that's all you can do.
If he really loves you then he would accept you with or without your scars, if not then he honestly isn't worth the time.

It wont prevent you at all.
A real loving man/woman would love someone for who they are, not because they got scars. They'd be understanding and wanting to help you.

are you in a relationship with the person your wanting to have sex with?
im not judging honest.
if you are maybe you should talk with them first or let them see before you have sex. or if in doubt turn of the lights!

I know the feeling, I have words carved into my arms and legs too. If you're uncomfortable, use foundation. If the other person is uncomfortable, they really aren't worth having sex with. But don't worry about it. Worst comes to worst, rely on mood lighting :P
