Sex anxiety

I know it sounds weird, but I'm having issues with my partner, we never had sex in our 3 years of relationship and I want to do the big step without having a panic attack.
To make it weirder I have a trauma related to sex (no sexual abuse)

It doesn't sound weird at all.
Everyone takes their own time and what feels natural for them.
I'm sorry you've experienced a sex related trauma.
I would encourage you to have a conversation with your partner, honest and explain how you both feel and discuss things through.
If you decide you are ready for the next step, it's important to be open with each other, take it slowly, build up to it, and use a word that you both trust should you decide at anytime, you want to stop 💖
