New onto this site - as a result of a discussion with my therapist. Essentially any intimacy with the opposite sex i.e female with me produces incredible somatic tension, rigidity - especially around the stomach and digestive tract. If it goes on I usually lose weight. I also feel cut off some how around the legs. Common panicky responses. has blighted my adult life - I try and sit through the anxiety when I do meet women but it makes the whole thing unpleasurable. My childhood was problemtaic not least having a father who had two terrible nervous breakdowns that were sort of covered up.
I've spent long periods on my own and remain fairly contented if lonely sometimes. I'm aware this may seem alot less traumatic than many of the other posts here but just writing and finding this site has been enormously helpful, not least reading of the very familiar physical symptoms people have.
Anyway hello to all.
Graham
