Are braces a turn off?

age has a lot to do with it. I had braces by the time I was 5. which is why I think I never actually understood how to date/have a girlfriend because I always thought I was unattractive with them on. yes I realize I was 5 at the time but there are some relationships based on kids who grew up together. I realize most teenagers have them. and I was out of them by 13 or so. just in time for my bar mitzvah :) so while you say you're 18-24 with braces I'm not sure if your lying or not but if you arent. I would think it would be less normal but I don't think it would be unattractive.

side story that helps relate to you: my mom and I went rollerblading once when I was younger (im 21 now) and she didn't actually know how to put the breaks on. I failed to teach her and she hit a metal pole. she hasn't worn skates since. ski'd but not skated. anyway she had some major damage to her teeth and jaw (as teeth and jaw problems runs in myself and my mom) guess what? she had to get braces. she was like 30 at the time. but remember she's still married to my mom. 25 years and going

so its not what you have or don't have that attracts you its how you put yourself out there. so what? you got braces big deal, smile as if you didn't. and know that you're worth it to any lucky guy out there. :)

I don't mind kissing, it's just oral was a bit uncomfortable.
