had the worst experience growing up specially as a boy and I know it wasn't just me. Every month doing the Brazilian Ronaldo cut to school and plus considering I was fat in school... Worst combo ever. I remember actually crying after each haircut, and sometimes they would even make me cut the little patch of hair in the front as well because school doesn't allow "uneven" Haircuts. I was forced to be bald and it severely Compromised my confidence, communication and body image perception because haircuts literally shapes your entire look as a child.

Aesthetic conformity over individuality should never happen in a country that claims to be free.

I would've been sent home for having a beard in CHSE if a classmate (who did get caught) hadn't warned me ahead of time. Apparently, keeping to a sunnah is less important than some arbitrary bullshit rule that shouldn't exist. It wasn't even much of a beard, barely a stubble and a moustache. Glad we got that rule changed (or have they brought it back?).

sorry for your experience

things weren’t that bad where i went. we had students whos hair reached all the way to their nose. some even curly and over the ears. ofc theh all keep it styled to avoid attention. i didn’t even have anyone complaining about my beard. i only cut it when i started looking homeless.

in high school things got worse tho. mfs had a trimmer and sent us to groom our beards right in school (sent home if u unlucky) 😭

one time the education minister was about to visit and prior to that there was a class full of dudes with long beards getting it trimmed. a literal barber shop in school. by the time my turn came it had no charge 💀

Do you think it’s any different in other countries?

Conformity. Obedience. Loyalty.

Name a free country that doesn’t try to instill these values on its young.

Already from a young age I discovered my sexual feelings because I am aroused by something ordinary, namely cutting hair. When I saw other people getting their hair cut or fantasizing about it. As a child I never experienced sexual arousel when I got a haircut myself, but I do experienced by reading about it or watching it. This is also the reason I discovered masturbation accidently at a young age.

After puberty it became worse because my sexual feelings intensified, so that I could not help to feel aroused when I walked in the street and saw people getting their hair cut in a hair salon. I became a problem after my conversion when I wanted to stop masturbation. Even worse I started to experience sexual arousel when I got a haircut myself.

Lately I had a hair appointment and the stylist happened to be very attractive, and had a erection while sitting in the chair. The next time I experienced the same when was waiting before my appointment. Even when I masturbated both times on beforehand. I feel bad because I want to limiting masturbation and don't want to sexualize women.

How do I stop such ordinary things like getting a haircut to cause arousel
