Question - (23 June 2011) 6 Answers - (Newest, 8 July 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm twenty three years old and am really shy and self conscious I'm with my first ever boyfriend becsause I was abused for a number off years and was controlled by my abuser ex. my boyfreind knows what have been through and has been really understanding, the thing is when I try to get physical with him I find it a little hard to relax. one because I feel like I'm off to be rubbish at what I do and one because I use to switch off to my abuser ex. I want to get a little physical with my boyfriend sexually but would know where to start or what to do I feel like I'm so naïve when it come to stuff like that even thought I was abused the abuser always abused me.

RedAthena agony auntYou may want to talk specifically with someone who specializes in sex therapy..to help your mind retrain and rethink that being sexual with your bf is safe.

Do not push yourself and go slow. Sounds like he is understanding and loving about it. Take one thing at a time.

One day at a time.

RedAthena agony auntI am so sorry you were abused by a relative.

It sounds like your heart is saying you want to be intimate with your bf, but your body still remembers the past.

Did you ever have counseling for the abuse? This is VERY important if you were raped. A special counselor can guide you how to have healthy sexual relationships again.

Again, talk to your bf. You want him to be understanding about your fears.

Best Wishes.

RedAthena agony auntTalk to your bf! Let him know that your past experiences were abusive. Let your bf know you want to be closer to him, but feel nervous.
