I'm terrified of guys making a move on me (even just joking around). One of my brother's friends did it when I was young and it really freaked me out. It went as far as him staying over one night and him running into my room in nothing but his pants because he knew how much I hated it. Another time when I was walking home, a guy I knew (but wasn't friends with) started yelling my name and making suggestive noises. I was so terrified I couldn't speak, and when I got home I was in tears. Now all my friends have boyfriends and I feel like a freak. I do find guys attractive, but I'm petrified of them coming on to me. I have loads of guy friends, I don't know if this has anything to do with it?

    First of all, I feel sorry for females in general. They do tell good jokes sometimes, but for the most part men are boring, smelly, brutish, conceited and insensitive. Generally. Plus they all think they're awesome all the time. Look, I'm a 35 year old loser without any chance of getting laid and I still think I'm awesome. Can you believe that?

    But seriously, when you introduce sexuality to any person before they're ready, this can cause serious problems. I'm sure you can overcome these problems, but they are real. I don't think you're actions are extreme given what you've said - you're dealing with things in a very natural way.

    Unfortunately I don't know what you should do, besides continuing to be honest with yourself and your feelings.

    And now I'll say something to make you completely uncomfortable... a penis is a penis is a penis. None of them are a very big deal to anyone but the guy they're hanging from. It's a ridiculous contraption and it's unfortunate for women that they have to be the ones who have to get stuck with the dumb things. And testicles are kinda wierd to. I mean, what the hell?

    I dunno... watch videos of guys getting hit in the crotch or something. They're popular nowadays.

    The clinical term for this fear is Androphobia, no sweetie it isn't normal. Not all guys are bad, and you have to talk to some to meet the good ones. But in all honesty i suggest therapy for a clinical view and also its a cool way to vent all you problems in confidence :) -goodluck

    I can see how that would happen, it sounds like those guys weren't coming on to you so much as being total assholes. The funny thing is as a guy after reading this I understand a bit more why some girls seem so scared at something that to me seems as harmless as trying to flirt. Not all guys are total assholes though, at least I hope not.
