I'm 22 and i don't think i could be intimate with anyone, am i normal?

Ok, I'm 22 now, still a virgin, still terrified at the prospect of a relationship or intimacy. Everyone keeps saying I'm still young, but I feel so lonely and disparaged and like nothing will ever change if I carry on doing what I'm doing.

I can't decide if I'm comfortable with it, or that I'm just settling for it, because I can't deal with intimacy or relationships. Heck, I'm barely looking after myself!

Sorry about this post, but I just feel so hopeless sometimes. thanks for any input. I'm gay as well which only adds to the difficulty.

    You can have those things but you should start by loving yourself first. I'm in the same boat. Found those things and lost them because I wasn't ok with who I was. You're capable.

    Normal is outdated. I'm a straight man and get incredibly turned on by lesbian porn. Now I realize that in real life the likelihood of 2 gorgeous women being lesbian, brazilian waxed and totally glam is as unlikely as any similar combination that lacks the photoshopping & lighting of porn films.

    I'm not sure why it is so appealing when I realize there would never be an active role fot myself in that situation. I've done a couple of three ways with 2 girls- which is kind of ridiculous when one considers the fact that women are far more capable of being hyper-orgasmic than men. Though it has nowhere near the appeal I think it would be physiologically more sensible 2 have 2 guys servicing 1 girl.

    One of the most common fantasies girls have told me about is having multiple partners-preferably strangers and preferably safely forcibly. It's even termed a "rape fantasy" though in reality the fantasy is far from the violent act of rape.

    You'll be fine. There are plenty of people your age who have very little experience with intimacy and relationships; it's just not something people openly discuss. It shouldn't be too difficult to meet someone who's equally inexperienced. If not, the right person will be patient and not care.
