How stuttering affects your personal perception of sex and eroticism? Hello everyone, I am a man (29) with mild stuttering blocks, sometimes I can hide them easily to the point that you think I don't have a stutter, but when I have a long conversation obviously people notice the short pauses in my speech. I feel that this block extends to my sexual expression with life and the connection with pleasure, I don't know how to explain it, since even though I have had good sexual relations, I don't feel totally myself deep down as a man, as if something were missing, like an engine that was halfway running. I am an attractive man, but when I have the blocks, no matter how small they are, it makes me feel out of place with myself, and not being able to say exactly what you want in the way you want makes it difficult to create sexual attraction (even if I am very good at hiding it). I know that there are women who don't care, but depending only on that makes me feel disadvantaged and somewhat limited. Inside, I know that I am another guy who is different from the one who manifests on the outside. They have the same feelings I feel sorry for my English
