Today marks the third time that someone has mistaken me for a woman. Now, I am a young looking 20-year-old man, but SERIOUSLY. It doesn’t help that I have felt severely lacking the masculinity department the last few months. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had sex with my girlfriend let alone the last time I felt genuinely horny. I still hate the way my body looks even after losing over fifty pounds. I don’t feel sexy. I don’t feel confident. I don’t feel happy. I just don’t know what to do anymore!! My girlfriend and I have been together two years now and it has never been this bad. We start to get into it and… nothing. All I can think to myself is, “Who do you think you’re kidding? You’re not sexy. You can’t do this. She deserves someone so much better than you.” We’ve talked about this and she assures me that she thinks I’m sexy and attractive and that she loves me more than anything. I want to start lifting weights. I think that will help with my poor body image. I just don’t know how to handle this and it’s slowly causing me to decline into a depression. I have little energy. I just want to be able to show my girlfriend how much I love her by being able to express that love physically. I don’t know if I can do that until I love myself. I just wish I could see myself the way she sees me.
