I was sexually abused 12-15, by an ex family member, my teen stepbrother and my mom told me not to tell anyone what was happening at school or to authorities. Even though my mom is divorced she still supports him, which I hold a grudge against my mother to this day. I don't have happy moments of my childhood because I was emotionally, psychologically, sexually and physically abused growing up, even my needs and emotions were neglected.

In my teens I developed a pornography addiction and then 18 was when I gave into my social naivete to have sex with different people. I was used over and over again by other men who didn't want a relationship with me, and would lie so they could use me for gratification.

I enjoyed it at first because I was hypersexual, but then over time I started getting hurt emotionally and then I didn't really care for it that much anymore.

I'm in my first healthy and real relationship now, and it's been 5 years. I hope to marry him soon. We really are committed and love each other. My relationship with sex is alright, I think my partner and I have become more asexual with the both of us as the years go by. We get pleasure from emotional bonding more than anything.
I see. So you are saying self-contradictory things about your relationship to the current man. You saying that you have "some" connection to him but not as nearly much as should be, and yet that you have been together for 5 years, that you plan to marry him soon, and that you love each other and get pleasure from emotional bonding. So I am a little confused as to where the feeling of a lack of connection is coming from if everything (except for maybe sex) is basically wonderful.

Regarding growing asexual with him, here is where therapy (maybe joint) would be helpful, to make sure your being the victim of abuse by step-brother, betrayal by mother, and your unfortunate early sexual experiences with men would not interfere with the sexual satisfaction with the current man whom you plan to marry.
