Is it normal that i can't have sex

I was raped 2 years ago by a guy I was dating. Now I am with a guy who loves me and who I love back. This man treats me like gold, but I can't have sex with him. Each time he tries to insert himself no matter how wet I am, I feel like I am being ripped open again.

    your body is still reacting to the trauma, i have 2 recomendations.

    1 lots and lots of foreplay to help you relax.

    2 talk to a professional

      I agree. Patience and therapy. Counseling really does help get past these obstacles

    If this is true.. Then tell him what happened and that you're just not ready , if he loves you he should understand

    • "If this is true"? I am new here so I am going to assume that people lie about being assaulted? I can assure you it is very much true. Mentally I am ready, I want to do it, but physically my body won't allow me to. Thank you for your feedback :)

    Lots of orgasms from oral sex (assuming you trust his tongue) should help you trust his penis eventually.

        I wish you the best of luck. I cannot have sex either because I can't get it up from medical complications. At least there is hope for you.

    you can have sex because you did have sex lets clear that up, second your only complaint is pain. well thats because you need more mileage. not because you got raped. maybe if your rapist had put more miles on it you wouldn't have this pain today. the only other pain you might have is imaginary pain making you a crazy nut job because all the other millions of rape victims dont have this imaginary pain. So what you do next is up to you. You are in control. If you dont want the job that your choice as well. You got no pity here.

    I can't have sex because I've been repressing my sexuality always. Even if I want it I cannot.

    Get professional help otherwise you'll lose him. You'd lose me too.
