Confidence is a major thing with any type of sex you enjoy. My own confidence comes and goes, so I was wondering how others get over their confidence issues, how they start getting into new things ect. I'm sure I won't be the only one with confidence issues sometimes!
Body confidence - Lingerie helps a ton. I probably wouldn't be having any sort of sex without it.
Confidence with a new act - Research it as much as possible beforehand and communicate throughout. His responses and direction can give me a huge confidence boost.
I get more confidence with my OH because I have complete faith and trust in him that he will never judge me or let me get hurt (emotionally or physically).
This gives me,enough to take a leap of faith when I'm feeling in certain.
Like Nat, lingerie has worked wonders. I have found a style that allows we to focus on the bits of me I like, not the bits that wiggle and jiggle.
my husband helps me a lot with my confidence its the way he looks at me and the fact that he dosent push it if i dont feel comfortable but tha way i help my self is that i look at diffenert types of underwear and what i would be happy in, and trying to things like has been said i just look around and research as best i can to make sure i'm happy trying it but also talking with my husband
Lingerie is amazing to get yourself some body confidence, just wear it around the house!
Giving yourself a positive mind and positive thoughts is a big influence as well. If you are feeling negative about yourself, you're not going to feel confident. Think happy thoughts and look after your mind and body in way way you feel is best :)
When confidence is low try to remember the reaction of your partner when you did something for them last time and how you felt after you plucked up the courage.
That has always worked for my partner when she has had confidence issues
I always like to communicate with my partner if it's something new. I, like the other ladies here have said, find lingerie to be a miracle worker in making me feel much more confident, and it excites my partner which in turn makes me more relaxed :)
I try to research things too before I try them to make sure I know all about them so I know I'm getting it right.
Just relax, be yourself and find what works for you :)
Yes, confidence has been a challenge here too - especially around body image. We found that posting a few pics helped - especially when the reponse was positive, X
For me, positive thoughts can help a lot. In the past I was often really down on myself, particularly about my body. I decided I was going to tell myself I liked my body, literally looking at myself and thinking things like "you know what, I really like having thieghs this size, those stretch marks are really beautiful in a strange way." It sounds really weird but it worked for me. I also like to focus on how I feel more than how I look, so if I'm feeling down I try not to put it on my appearance any more (we've probably all had those depressed days when all you can think is I'm so ugly).
For the confidence to do specific sexual acts, I find that all I really need is to be able to trust my partner and communicate with them easily. I think having a secure relationship where you feel you will never be judged for voicing a sexual desire is the key. If you're struggling with thinking this, try flipping it in your head and imagine how you'd feel if your partner had told you something they'd like to explore with you in bed. You'd probably feel pretty excited. So you can anticipate your partner might feel the same way if you talked to them. That's how I build up the courage to ask for things, although my relationship is so open now I don't really need courage.

Hey Minxx_06,
Just this week, I put together a video on how to boost your body confidence. If you'd like to, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8QqAvckR00
Thanks,
Sammi
Lingerie and alcohol to help lose my inhibitions and lots of encouragement and affirmations from my oh 😊
Getting used to your body will help with confidence issues . Losing weight has regained my confidence and it shows in my behaviours when we go out. I used to cover up before looking at myself in a mirror. Not any more.
I agree lingerie can add tons of confidence for ladies . Also your partner can play a part by complimenting you on a regular basis .Try posing in a mirror in lingerie that will add to your confidence. If you curently have sex with the ligts out then try dimmed lighting instead .
As I man with a disability my confidence is really low,
I know my OH love me iv helped my OH build her sexual confidence my using LH but I don't think I'm good enough for her in bed and I'm never happy even when I make her orgasm
I just wish I was more confident 
As a young man with a disability I too have a lot of confidence issues. I have no one to help with my confidence so I just keep thinking it what on the inside that counts to try to help my self
I'm also disabled - I had a brain injury some 10 years ago, had a huge operation to fix it and that left me brain damaged with lots of nerve damage. I've put on around 6 stone since - I was a size 10 - I'm now a 22 !! I know BF doesn't like fat girls - or even big breasted girls - the porn he watches is alays slim small boobed girls - he will get a raging hard on watching them - but when I undress or even lay naked beside him he never gets hard until foreplay begins.
So...massive cofidence issues here - Sexy undies would do it for me, really used to turn me on anyway - but he says they just get in the way and why would I want to buy exppensive undies in those huge sizes - just loose some weight :/
No one should have confidence issues of what they look like. To me all women doesn't matter what shape or size looks amazing in sexy lingerie
When I don't feel confident I just take a step back from whatever I'm doing. When I'm uneasy I just cannot get into the moment. It's a short-term solution but it helps me.
I'll just ask for space to work through things in my head. Sometimes I need to question myself to see what has changed the way I'm feeling.
I have had many people comment on the way I look etc and that I never have a relationship because I'm disabled but I don't let it get to me
Ye I'm a bit overweight due to hip problem not letting me excise and I'm not experienced in the bedroom department. But I'm just as normal as the next bloke don't let confidence get you down there no shame where all the same.
