    I don't think it's normal or abnormal.

    I can see reasons why someone would fear sex. The first time can be painful. There is a risk of STDs, pregnancy, and failed contraceptives. If you're young then you probably worry about parents finding out. Then there's always a fear of regretting that the person you sleep with won't be the person you spend the rest of your life with. Some people who have been sexually assaulted fear sex. Some people fear sex because of their upbringing (taught by parents/religion that sex isn't right before marriage, etc.). Some people fear others finding out, maybe for fear of being called names (like slut or easy) or maybe you're in a relationship some people wouldn't approve of and you care what others think.

    So I can definitely see where you are coming from. But maybe you just aren't ready yet. That's not abnormal.

    I don't know how old you are but if you are under the age 20, this is def. normal to fear it.
    i feared it as well.I didn't lose my virginity till I was 18...and sadly it was by force.
    I never cared about sex, until I was married.
    Anyways you shouldn't fear it so much to the point where you don't ever want to have sex.
    You just have to find the right person to do it with at the right time in your life9what ever and when ever you chose that to be)

    you should also express to your bf how you feel.if he doesn't respect you by not stopping than dump him.

    many variables influence your fear.

    age, maturity, trauma, horror sex stories, bad experiances, etc.

    in my opinion, youre normal, Although a rocky sex life could affect how a future relationship turns out.

    if it bothers you that much, see a psychologist. there is no shame in that!

    You need talk to a psychologist about you feel this way.

  • I fear it too. Haven't had it yet but it just sounds kind of scary to have sex, you know? What if you end up injuring your partner? This is normal.
