Sounds to me both you and your boyfriend need to honor your fears.

A totally cool friend would understand your fears and just chill out and never ask you to do something that, in yourcase, will worsen your condition.

Teach your boyfriend that sex with him will hurt you mentally and emotionally right now, and to be your friend by not pressuring you, and wait for you to signal you are ready.

In the meantime, get help to eliminate your issues from the seven years old intrusion you went through. Stay on that healing journey until you are ready.

Hi,

I think maybe you need to take a step back from your boyfriend just for this moment. His reaction to you suggesting that you may need to see a doctor was a little immature and a bit cold. The idea of him 'being your doctor' when you've said you're scared and clearly have fears isn't a good sign that he's completely a great guy.

I actually agree with you, in the sense that you need to see someone and get all this out in the open. I think to get over this fear you need to tell someone, such as a counsellor, what happened to you so you can understand what happened and come to terms with it.

What you don't need is your boyfriend suggesting that he can make everything okay by just having sex anyway. That won't work.

You don't need to tell him what happened. You just need to say that you want to slow down and adjust to the idea, whilst talking it through with someone. If he leaves or gets angry, then he doesn't understand or care enough.

Trust is the most important factor here. If u trust your bf alot and want it, do it. Im sorry for what happened to u before, it's soemthing that is hard to forget, but u have to understand that you are old enuff now, and sexual harrasement is different from having a sexual intercourse with someone u love. Im sure u love this guy alot, and if u trust him u can do it. First try to forget what happened to u,try to make this guy noe why u are hesistant. If he loves u alot, he will help u.

if he loves you that much, he should understand. you dont need to be scared to tell him your true feelings about sex. but if he doesnt understand how hurt you were, then he isnt the right man for you.

i hope this helps
