A female United Kingdom age 41-50, *reenlisa writes:

when i was a little girl i was abused by a family member this carried on until i was 17. I have spent such a long time feeling guilty because i never did anything to stop it even tho i knew what was happening was wrong i was so scared that nobody would believe me and i would loose my family. im now 29 and am stronger than i ever have been before i have gained lots of confidence and have decided to leave the past in the past. although there is one problem that no matter how hard i try i just cant seem to get past. everytime i have sex i feel dirty and hate myself afterwards. If i am completely truthfull i have never once actually wanted nor enjoyed sex but have gone through with it just to keep my ex partner happy. I have now recently met the most wonderful man he really does care for me and as made it clear that sex isnt important to him but i want to have sex with this man not so much for the sex but because i want a normal relationship i want to be able to enjoy that closeness i just dont know how to get past the emotions i feel. how can i overcome this and finally put an end to what my family member did to me i just want to be normal. i know there is no simple answer and it may take a long time but i am willing to try anything. i hope someone can help thankyou xxx

You need to see a therapist or psychiatrist. I really dont' think this is something that one can do on their own.

your bf may say sex is not important to him but trust me it will be as time goes on and nothing is happening there. so don't waste another minute - get into counseling as soon as possible.good luck.

Contact a women's group or child protection group or agency to find out where and who is available in your area.
