This is tricky, and I think the comments here reflect that. I’m thinking back on when my previous girlfriends would compliment me for it, or they would call it “cute”, and I’m looking back on it with mixed feelings. I totally understood that they were coming from a place of good but I couldn’t help but wonder why they would like something about me that was such a negative in my life. Regardless, I don’t think sexy is the right word. To each their own of course, but for me I know I wouldn’t take my stutter being called sexy all too kindly. Thank you so much for coming here to gain insight. You really do care, and I think your boyfriend would appreciate that above all.
