Thanks for the article and the thread Anne.2
My ex parnter and I were both abused when we were younger and this resulted in a very turbulant relationship, I wanted to be touched by her and for her to love me but she couldn't do it, she said everything reminded her of the past. In future I would be weary of dating another who was abused, I guess everyone behaves differently but I could never figure her out, she wanted sex all the time at first and then it went to nothing then she started having affairs and was at it with everyone. I used to blame her abuse but I was abused and many of us were and don't behave like that.

And if I knew my parnter was being turned on by this I would first punch him then run for the hills.
