    Addicted to Trauma?

    Do You Fear Or Obsess Over Intimacy When In A Relationship?

    Eeeewwwww Hi, I'm a newbie--this is my first post. Sex is hard for me. I find it painful and intimidating, yet even though my boyfriend doesn't say this, I feel obligated to give it up to him (my father sexually abused me and I was also raped). It's also like he just doesn't understand how I...
