Now that I am sober i dont like being intimate. the drinking always put me at ease for intimacy, now that its gone i dont know how to act without it when it comes to that. I know the meds i take decrease desire as well. I feel bad for my boyfriend, but i cant change how i feel. I wonder if he should come to therapy with me or not. I dont want to lose this relationship because of the inability to be intimate. Any suggestions?

I think therapy will help....you need to get help ...can you be more specific about what you mean about not want to be able to be intimate..??
I've had issues with sexual abuse as well, and it has not affected the way I feel about men, or my sex drive. I mean I want to have a relationship. I think it has made me nervous about opening up to a guy....and that's why I sometimes avoid relationships.......
