Well, I did talk about sex today with my therapist, thanks to your thread. I guess it's hard to talk about in general, but it's especially embarrassing with her. Like your T, she asked a lot of questions and try to make it as comfortable as possible, and I got some of my fears out.
I'm just so weird when it comes to sex. I like sex, I just don't like to have it. Once the process starts, something happens and I regret getting involved. It takes tons of mental energy to keep me present with my husband. It was a great session. My T asked great questions and helped me connect a lot of dots. Her parting question when time was up was, "well, I think next time we should start discussing your sexual fantasies" (because I had mentioned my husband would be surprised that I even had any). But I replied, "I don't have that much courage just yet." I did surprise myself by bringing up this topic in the first place.
Thank you so much. I have had some great sessions lately. It seems we are all on a roll.
Oh ... this was funny ... my T said, "you have all the ingredients for a successful sexual relationship, we just have to get you over the hump" then she burst out laughing and said, "no pun intended".I do feel her office is a safe place to discuss this. I just feel it is so personal and there is such minute details to get the right feeling conveyed ... it's hard to describe what happens to me. I don't even know. I just don't want to be touched ... except when I do....
