Guilt, shame, and pressure push you to have sex before you're ready, but it frequently hurts.
YOU FEEL LIKE:
Something is wrong with you
Your sexuality is broken
You’re not normal but everyone else is having amazing sex
Your partner deserves to be happy and have sex
You're letting your partner down
You'd never have sex if you didn't force yourself to
You'd be happy without ever having sex again
You can't talk to anybody about this
You've tried sex toys, lube, and watching porn
Maybe life would be better if you opened up your relationship so your partner could have sex with people who can have sex without pain
BUT...
YOU FEEL BRAVE & CURIOUS, AND YOU WANT TO:
Keep your relationship and your partner
Be accepted exactly as you are
Feel normal
Experience compassion for what you're going through
Figure out your next steps
BECAUSE ULTIMATELY YOU WANT TO:
Experience pressure-free and pain-free sex
Want to want to have sex and feel desire again
Feel good about your body and sexuality
Maaaaybe even experience pleasure and multiple orgasms yourself
