How do I stop being a prude?

I'm sick of being shy like this! A person just got mad at because I got all flustered when they were asking me really personal questions. I tried and it failed. I'm just not good at taping about sexual things or talking to guys in general and I don't know what to do! I just want to be able to have a conversation with someone and know what I'm talking about and not get so embarrassed about everything. I don't want to be like this anymore.

  • Just relax and go easy on yourself these things take time and practice inorder to get used to them. I'm fairly shy but after 2 years in college with little to no social life I was back to being at square one with my social skills. I joined a small young adult chruch group and eventually I got back into it. Granted I'm still shy but at least I'm somewhat comfortable talking to women again. Before I used to panic just because I was talking to a women- yeah 2 years with no social life will really screw you up. Give it time if it helps join a small group of people that you can get used to talking to. Sometimes you even need to be the freindly 3rd wheel to a couple that is open about messing around talking about sexual things. I have 2 really good freinds who are waiting till they get married but they still love sex jokes and are open to things like she talked about how her period was killing her even at the beach.

  • Well don't worry its actually far more common than you think. Your not alone. Both sexes suffer from being embarrassed about talking about sex and intimately.
    It is sad because so many people miss out on opportunities just from being embarrassed.
    What's good news for you is your here on GAG discussing it.
    So it's often far me easier to start this sort dialect and discussion on line safe in you home with the other person not there.. talk open and freely about sex.
    Then by association you build up the ability to over come the embarrassment and anxiety.
    Please feel free to private message me anytime you like😃

  • There's nothing wrong with being shy about sexual things. Everyone's different, depending on how they were raised, personality, etc..

    You'll become more comfortable with talking about such things over time, as you have more and more conversations on that very topic. 😊

  • Being shy is fine. I'm actually shy about sexual things (in person anyway) and I have to be really comfortable with someone to open up about it. Don't feel pressured into saying or doing things you aren't comfortable with.

  • You're not a prude. You're very shy. Maybe find a good therapist and explore why that's so and I'm betting you'll find a way to be more open.

  • Being a prude isn't about being shy, it's about disapproving sexual things (because of your education).
