Hi guys,
Just to say that I want some advice on how not to clam up with my partner when we get intimate and wondering if anybody has any tips??? It's 3 years since my rape and I love my partner dearly and trust him 110%. He's helped me so much so does understand what I'm going through.... yet when we make love I clam up sometimes even just in foreplay but we've NEVER managed to fully make love or enjoy it. If I do get past the foreplay stage, then I usually end up panicking during the big event and need to stop - which of course he understands but it can be sooo frustrating for both of us and akward..... any tips???? please any will do I am desperate!

Hey I wish that I had some advice for you! The only thing I can say is to see a therapist. There are some who specialize in this sort of thing and they can help. If I knew anything beyond that, I would love to help you!

P.S. I think it's ok to post it in more than one place Advice on "clamming up" Sometimes you can reach two different groups of people that way and get more input Advice on "clamming up"
