I realized I have anxiety/fear about most of the sexual situations in my life

[pinkBay]

I'm new here, and I don't know how to help myself. Even though I'm in a great healthy relationship, I've never been sexually assaulted. Now I understand that this has always been the case. The topic of sex paralyzes me and causes fear.

I feel like I don't try many experiences because I'm afraid to even admit to myself my desires (although they are nothing out of the ordinary). I can't get help from a psychologist or a sexologist, but I can't live like that either. This topic is fascinating for my partner and me, and my anxiety attacks have become more frequent.

I feel like I can't go along with the neuroses, and it spoils my life and makes it less fulfilling and happy. But I don't know what to do.

What can I do to overcome the fear of sexual interaction and new experiences?

I will be grateful for any advice or if you have been in a similar situation and can share your experience.

Have a great day, everyone!

pinkBay,

I also am very uncomfortable in those situations. I am wondering if it is not so much the interactions as the sense of intimacy or the comfort you have with your own self.

I am not sure why you can't seek a psychologist's help. There are a lot of things that could be a block.

If I think back to when my sexual exploitation and journey started there was also a lot of anxiety... do you feel comfortable sexually when you are alone or is it just with a partner ?

I think you're okay. Your fear might be coming from you not being ready for sex yet or different method de you haven't tried before, haven't tried in A while or aren't used to trying. For example, my first love kissed me on my neck, and we don't stay together for a long time and I started feeling nervous, and anxious from it. I have been sexually assaulted before, so I don't know if my advice might help.
