I've not been intimate for 5 years and have become a bit self conscious about my body...

Question - (13 November 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 13 November 2008)
A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I haven't been intimate with anyone for almost 5 years. Since this time I have become a little self conscious about my body. I am afraid when I do have sex that it will hurt and that my partner will be disappointed in the fact that I am not better because of the pain. I am also afraid of bleeding.

Along with worries about the actual act I am worried that the next person I sleep with won't find my body attractive. I am thin. I am about 5'3 and weigh about 105, but I have some stretch marks on my backside that I think are unsightly even though they have faded white.

Am I worrying too much about all this? I would be interested in any advice from both men and women.

Find someone who truly cares for you and will be understanding and make you feel relaxed. At least you don't put it about with just anyone - a lot of people would appreciate that. Take time to get to know that special person properly.
