Oh Nymph,
That puts a whole different spin on things. No wonder you feel depressed and have a whirlwind of emotions when thinking about sex.

I imagine that any person in the world would react like that, having been abused as a child.

One of the posters who used to post regularly here (Corri) was also abused as a child and it took many years of intensive therapy for her to get to the point where she is today. From what I understand it is a long and arduous process. You can look up some of her old posts.

Speaking of therapy, have you ever been and to what degree was it helpful?

Big hugs to you.
Honey
