Trauma and Sex

Briana

I have previous experiences with sexual trauma and abuse and it’s been making intimate time with my long term boyfriend difficult. He has a very high sex drive and is constantly trying to touch me sexually (but it’s his way of showing me he loves me and is attracted to me- a physical touch love language).

Unfortunately, I’m not very interested in sex and though he’s been understanding, it’s been making him frustrated. His girlfriends in the past has had high libidos and being with me has been a change for him.

Does anyone feel this way or have any advice?
