I'm 20M. My friends were having this sexually explicit conversation today and it made me really uncomfortable. My heart was pounding, I was shivering a little, it was intense.

This kind of stuff started happening around the beginning of this year, I've just been really uncomfy with the idea of sex. Even just seeing social media posts mentioning it makes me feel weird inside, like I want to avoid it.

I'm not asexual, and while I have had a sexual experience, it was over a year ago and it was really nice. I haven't experienced any sex-related trauma or anything.

One of my close friends(19F, who I've been romantically and sexually involved with in the past) has a tendency to talk about this stuff with people. Usually it's normal and it doesn't bother any of our other friends at all. It never bothered me before either. But recently whenever she in particular mentions sexual stuff, it makes me *really* uncomfortable. She was talking a lot about how she missed sex and jokingly said she was gonna start an onlyfans. I knew she was kidding cause she's told me before she would never do that, but it still made me feel really uneasy.

I don't understand why this happened, but does anyone have any ideas on how to recover from it? Any advice is helpful. Thanks &lt;3
