Do you get anxious after having sex

Question

Okay, I was just wondering if it's just me who gets extremely anxious after having sex. My family is very catholic and I have this fear of falling pregnant. I use protection everytime. But it's just something that really makes me nervous And I don't know how to go about relieving this stress that makes my period late and only makes me more stressed ://

Answer

To avoid the anxiety maybe get on an additional form of birth control plus a condom for extra protection. Nothing is 100%. I got pregnant twice and had 2 miscarriages with a condom and there's so many people that have gotten pregnant on other forms as well. My niece is proof that the pill is not 100%. I used to feel guilty. There was one Sunday after the first time we had sex. It was a Saturday night and the next day at church it was as if everyone knew. One minute they are looking at me and talking about sexual immorality and how women should be smarter and self control and to refrain from this type of behavior etc and I'm sitting there thinking damn how did everyone know lol. Like they smelled it on me or something. The older women and pastor were all looking at me. Get on the pill as a back up to ease your mind or something else. After 2 miscarriages sex isn't a priority and my guy has never pressured me since day 1. Been together 4.5 years. I made him wait a year and a half before we did and I'm 38 he's 27.  Not many 23 year olds would be willing to sacrifice sex for 2 years. He said I was worth the wait. Hope things get better.

Answer

I have a much higher sex drive than him and it's spawned a lot of arguments so when we do have sex, especially if it's right after a sex related argument, I get anxious he's only doing it to appease me, like it's an obligation.

Answer

I used to because I wasn't ready to be having sex and also I used it as a coping method and that's wasn't what I should've done at all. I've never felt guilt because of religious reasons though. However I've felt bad also because I was assaulted so that made things difficult
