Welcome! You don't need to be nervous here. We are a pretty nice group.
Aversion therapy is usually to prevent someone from doing something. Stuff like rubber bands on the wrist all the way to electric shock.
I think you are looking for something to help you NOT fear or loath sex...right?
It is hard to know what to recommend without knowing what you've already done. If you haven't tried traditional "talk" therapy, I would recommend this first. You need to find a therapist that has a ton of experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. There are also support groups.
There are therapists who specialize in sexual disorders. But unless you've worked through some of the other issues about your abuse, they don't generally recommend you start with this.
I strongly recommend the book "Courage To Heal" as another resource.
It sounds like you are really hurting. Being alone is the worst possible feeling. Keep posting. I'm glad you found us.
