[Oh look it's another of those anonymous texts on the vine.]

Question:
Assume a situation where you need to practice something.
You have a friend that has offered to help you.
This friend would be an excellent help.
But the practice would involve being more open with close to exposed than you are comfortable with.
What would you do?

Do whatever you think is best, but think about it for a while first. That is the only way I could see this working out.

I have been thinking about it for a while. This seemed like a better way to help decide than flipping a coin.

Well, I can't really say much without further information, but I imagine if doing whatever-that-may-be will help you in the long run it is probably worth experiencing discomfort and unpleasantness in the present.

Mostly I am worrying whether it might mess up our friendship sort of. There is not any guarantee that there will be any benefit. But on the other hand I do not want her to think that I do not want her help.

It is complicated.

That does sound complicated... If you don't mind me prying what exactly does she want help with that is so embarrassing?

I am trying to learn to control a [pause] reflexive action I have. She is the only person I know that has experience in something like that.

Part of the problem is that it would involve me being naked.

I can't say I can really help with that one, I've never been in that state around another girl.

Yes. You can see the issue.
