Aversion to sex
Relationship Stress / by ConfusedPerson2903

...See more Hi this is my first post and I wonder whether anyone has been through anything similar. I have been with my partner for over 10 years and we even have a child together but for the last few years I have become increasingly more averse to having sex... to the point where I avoid him intimately altogether now so I dont have to face saying no. I have been struggling with painful sex for many years now and the only medical diagnosis Ive been given is intimate psoriasis. I was given a cream but it doesnt help I still sting/itch all the time and its what has put me off sex I think. I am going to get a second medical opinion about my psoriasis but I am beginning to think that even if I find a solution to the pain I still will not want to have sex anymore. I often think to myself I could easily live without it but I feel so guilty because I know my husband is suffering and he doesnt even push me but I feel horrible. I would also like to have more children with him. Its gotten to the point where Ive begun to question other things like: am I still attracted to him? But I think its all ultimately down to the pain. Anyways thanks for listening
