Question I am 17 at the moment. I was raped by my boyfriend a little over a year ago. On the surface everything is ok. I don't think about what happened - I've separated with the boy but we are still friends.
Everything is perfect with my new partner until it comes to sex. When we get physical i start shivering and feeling really sick and i just want it to be over as soon as possible. I am not sexually open anymore. I don't get flashbacks or anything like that so I'm not sure if it's post traumatic stress or I'm just being silly.
I want to have a healthy relationship but it feels like it'll never happen. Is it post traumatic stress? Can I get rid of it somehow?
Answer Rosie,
This may be PTSD.
I suggest you to give adequate time to your body to heal naturally.
Sex in marriage alone can bring you pleasant feelings in long run. Sex outside marriage is often the selfish need of men.
