There's nothing like self harm scars to kill a love life

I guess it must be like having AIDS in this respect.

Sex and nakedness and relationships are all good things. But for a person with self harm scars it can be hard.

I remember an ex-girlfriend throwing me out the first time we were going to sleep together. It was a very bad evening. I hadn't spoken to her about my scars. When I found the evening turning more passionate I knew I had to show her but when I did it was too much for her. It took some time but she became ok with it.

Another ex girlfriend was better at least. I don't know why or how. She was ok with the laceration upon laceration and gashes which scar my left forearm.

My self harm has been with me since childhood but I became prolific when fighting against god. The scars are beyond what most other self harmers have.

And yet the cuts are the tip of the iceberg of my emotional pain.
