Sometimes, either in the middle of sex, or while pleasuring myself, I suddenly have strange things flash through my head. Things that I really DON'T want to be thinking about. Things that make me feel horrible. Then I start feeling all weird and guilty.. Guilty for trying to enjoy myself when (for instance) a bunch of kids just got killed in a school shooting. Does this happen to anyone else on a regular basis? It actually happens to me quite a lot. I have always been an overly compassionate and empathetic person, and I can't even seem to shut that off during sex. I can't really shut my brain off to sleep either, but at least that doesn't make me feel awkward. Of course, sometimes the sex is so good that my brain is entirely consumed with pleasurable thoughts.. but more often than not, I end up thinking something that makes me feel weird, at least once during sex. Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone have any advice for how to somehow shut my brain off long enough to enjoy sex? less
