hey...i’m not really sure whether or not this is the right place to post this...but i figured i’d give it a shot.

i’m a guy in my early 20s who just recently (hours) found out what my condition is...that i have CAH. i always knew i had a birth defect...but my parents had sort of kept it very hush hush. only really bringing it up when i had a check up...which wasnt very often in my later years. even though my dad is a doctor himself...the only real information i got about it was when i was about 13 and my dad left an open book on my desk with a book mark ...notifying me of what i had. i was reluctant to read it just because of the pure fear with what my condition was.

so as time went on i have gradually accepted my condition but not totally learnt to live with it. i guess the hardest part are the social pressures i have to deal with. being a pretty good lookin guy (so i’ve been told hah) it kind of makes it even harder...ive never had sex...totally afraid of having a girlfriends which leads to the question if i am gay or not. i think sex drives our society today and it’s really hard to hide from it.

it kind of seems like i’m always running...as soon as i meet a girl i like or want to be with...i end up leaving the country and creating distance. i’m kind of curious to know what females may think if they met a guy they liked with this condition. and it’s ok to be brutally honest about this...i think its important.

i am happy to live life without a partner. i am a really social guy,i get along with everyone...i really do enjoy life for what it’s worth. i guess i’m just totally insecure about bringing someone else into my life knowing my condition...i’d rather not find out sort of thing.

it’d be nice to hear what you think about this and also if u do have any questions about raising your children i’d be more than happy to help.

thanks kindly
