Sisters, how to stay sane if you are unmarried and have high libido ðŸ˜
Using this burner acc because i am embarrassed about this
Assalamualaikum wrb
This is strictly for sisters.
I just turned 23 a week ago and have already graduated and just stay at home now. I have never been in a relationship earlier
My family has actively started looking for marriage proposals for me i had some bad experiences this year with the AM setup so i asked them to try after a year..
The problem is that I struggle a lot with sexual desires. I suspect I might have a high sex drive, and sometimes these urges become so intense that I can’t sleep or concentrate properly. I try to distract myself by sketching, keeping myself occupied, or doing dhikr.
But at night, I sometimes have sexual dreams and wake up to find that my nightwear has become dirty, which makes me feel embarrassed and upset, especially because I then have to take a ghusl before praying. I know these things aren’t really within my control, but I genuinely want to know if there’s anything I can do to manage or reduce them.
I also wonder whether marriage would actually help with these feelings, or whether I’m expecting it to solve something it might not.
At the same time, I’m quite nervous about intimacy because I have insecurities about my body. I’m somewhat chubby, (not obese) and I worry about whether my future partner would actually find me attractive. I think that fear makes the whole subject even more overwhelming for me.
