How would you feel if someone found your stutter attractive? So I joined this group to get an insight to the stuttering community. I’ve (24 F) known my boyfriend (30 M) for 3 years and we’ve been dating for over 1. We live together and things have been pretty good. I have always told him that his stutter is sexy. He hates it with a passion. I want to ask those with a stutter how they would feel if someone were to find their stuttering sexy? Would it encourage you? Would it flatter you? Would it embarrass you? Would it make you hate it more? I think my bf has mixed feelings about it. I would also like to ask for any advice on how I can make him feel better about it. It’s one of my favorite things about him and I wish I could make him understand how unique and interesting and sexy it makes him. I want to uplift him but I want to make sure I’m doing it in the right ways. So if you could, please tell me the best ways to encourage and uplift someone with a stutter!
