Initiation issues
Relationship Stress / by SimplyMeCreative
Last post

...See more I don’t know how to come on to my partner. When we’re in the moment, or I’m in the mood, I almost feel like I revert to a younger version of myself & I get extremely shy and reserved. It makes me seem very awkward & my SO has told me he feels like I’m not attracted to him, or that I just don’t want him because I’m never the one to initiate. I know a lot of it is a huge fear of rejection stemming from past experiences. But how do I move past that? we’ve been together 8 years & it is something I don’t want to struggle with anymore. I want to be able to just say what I want or at least make it clear with body cues or something.. any tips?

Child SA?

...See more I think I may have been abused as a child & am blocking it out.  I saw a post talking about how kids don’t just start doing sexual things on their own..that sexual behavior at a young age is always concerning & now I’m kinda freaked out.  As long as I can remember I’ve had an “obsession?” with sex & sexual things. I can remember at daycare age my mom having to stop me from playing with myself in public, a little older getting in trouble for looking at my parents karma sutra books, and I was maybe 10 when I got caught watching porn on our family computer for the first time..these are just some things I can recall as an example.  I now have 3 kids of my own, 2 are school age. We have NEVER had an incident that felt/seemed sexual..no touching, inappropriate convos, nothing.  So I’ve been reaaaally in my head wondering if something happened to me..and I don’t know what I’m looking for from posting this, I just needed to get it off my chest somewhere
