I want sex but I'm afraid of it after bad relationships in the past

Tagged as: Big Questions, Sex<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (12 May 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 12 May 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been sexually active for about four years now. I've slept with two guys, both of whom I dated for 1+ year each. Both relationships started out great, but once we would have sex, they both started to become controlling and emotionally abusive. They both manipulated me into having sex with them on a daily basis just to keep them happy, even when I told them no I don't want to.

Now I'm afraid of having sex, just because it made both of these relationships turn really bad, to the point where I was emotionally abused and basically sexually assaulted. I love sex, I enjoy it a lot. I'm just afraid that all guys are the same now, and that makes me not trust them.

How do I get over this without having to pay for therapy or anything? There's a guy I've sort of been seeing who I'm really attracted to and have had several chances to have sex with, but each time I turn him down. I want sex but I'm afraid of it! Help!!

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (12 May 2010):

You need to look very carefully at the type of man you're attracted to. Twice you've been abused by men who appear okay at first, then become emotionally abusive. That means that there is a type of guy you're attracted to, and it's the wrong guy. So look carefully at your type, because that seems to be the problem here.
