I've been through three different experiences of rape by three different people. Now, I'm in a relationship with a wonderful guy and we've been together for 3 years. The only problem is, whenever I have a flashback, or whenever my sex drive goes away, he thinks it's because I don't love him anymore or that I don't find him attractive. I don't know how to make myself get my sex drive back because I do love him but I'm still really scared of sex. I'm in counseling, I'm just looking for some advice from people who might have the same problem as me. Thanks.

Perhaps your friend will agree to attend a couple of counseling sessions with you to learn about what you are dealing with?

I agree Byzantine. Have him accompany you to counseling. I had issues with the same thing under different circumstances. (I was sexually molested as a child by relatives). I went to counseling and everything. I have been married for 24 years now. It helps when the other person can get an understanding of what you are going through.

Isn't that called sexual anorexia? I'm not really sure? But, I agree that if he goes to counseling with you, he will be better able to understand you and work with you.
