my mother is the same way and she asks the same questions- can love be conpanionship without intercourse! i have to say yes because love and intamacy can be shown in many different ways. i have post traumatic stress dissorder due to rape and sometimes i cant handle being touched at all-not to alarm you but it sounds as though you may have PSTD And OCD like me. dont be scared tho identifying whats making the interaction so dibilitating infact will help you cope with the traumas n lessen the onset of attacks with the disorders! my ocd after rape almost killed me showering 20times a day with every anti bactiral /fungal **** out there-only after mths of hospitalizations i realized what i thought was making me feel better was infact making my life hell! seek out proper help itll change your life. my life changed so much so that im expecting my first baby and although my mind flashes memories by me when descussed i now am able to work threw n control the debpth of inpact n let them be!
remember to have love and tolerance for yourself and those around you and try the serenity prayer-given threw AA and may u find faith in yourself and the streangth to let go of the things you cant change
love,
tabi
Hello
Your questions can't be answered within the brief format of this forum. You state that you've been to counselors, but are still unable to enjoy sex. I submit to you that perhaps you haven't yet found a counselor who is the right fit for you. I encourage you to find a therapist who is trained specifically to help people with sexual concerns. If you don't know anyone in your area, send me a private message with your location, and I'll refer you to someone appropriate. Best of luck to you. Dr. J
