I don't think having sex at all is a good idea if you don't enjoy it and have been abused in the past. You don't enjoy anything about sex not just the foreplay, is that right? If that's the case then I don't think you should be doing anything. Then you can work to build up the trust and begin to recover from what you have been through.
Are you affectionate with each other? Do you cuddle or play fight? These are non-sexual things that help me and my boyfriend to feel closer and me to trust him more. You should tell him everything you feel about sex and how you feel when you are having sex, and how he can help you.
I hope this helps. I'm really sorry that you have had to deal with this for such a long time.

Thank you for your reply...I have decided to talk to my therapist about how I feel about my current sexual relationship with Tony...it just never occurred to me that it could ever be different. You are right, I dont enjoy any part of the sex I just want him to finish and it hurts me anyway. I guess I can talk to my doctor about that part. Yes Tony and I are affectionate with one another, we hold hands, say I love you often, hug and cuddle which is wonderful to me. It really all I need. Hopefully now I can be able to start to feel differently with my therapists help. I really appreciate you taking the time for me.
Sincerely,
Roxy
