Hi

I've experienced depersonalisation only when trying to be sexually intimate with people - it has always happened when I've tried to kiss someone
I don't have a history of sexual abuse.
I did experience a trauma when I was a child involving close physical contact with someone. I've never had flashbacks or nightmares, but the 2 situations feel familiar.

I'm wondering if anyone else experiences depersonalisation ONLY when in a physically intimate/sexual context?

Actually I'm going to amend my question:

is it possible to experience depersonalisation in a physically intimate/sexual situation without it having anything to do with trauma?

I would recommend asking your doctor, they can be a lot more specific as to why it would be happening with you.
