Stuttering and self-image I'd like to hear what others have to say about this. I've been stuttering for over 20 years now and I'm pretty much hard as a rock. Things just don't really phase me and it's not really like I'm ever really scared to talk anymore (even if I know that it might be a disaster.) That said, I feel impotent. I just feel like there's this link between not being able to get words out and not getting it up sexually... I'm not trying to joke around this has been a real issue for me for a while. I remember a speech therapist years ago called me "socially impotent" and that label has definitely stuck with me. Anyone else have this problem?
