I’ve got a history of sexual trauma since my first relationship from 15-18 years old. This has made sex always a little tricky for me and I’ve tended to avoid it a bit.
However in the last 6 years life has been very very tough, I’ve had more traumatic heavy stuff happen and the last time I had sex I had Ed for basically the first time and it sent me spiralling. Since then with covid, complete mental breakdown and healing ever since I’ve avoided it, but now I’m read and want to start dating and having sex again.
Anyone else have any experience in a gap this long? How to deal with the shame of it?
