to any of you with sexual trauma, how did you get through it when it comes to trying to have sex with someone again? my first time was traumatic and the following two attempts have not gone well. i tend to freeze and then its made awkward :(

it’s hard to start doing stuff again, for me personally it took a few years for me to be comfortable and even now i’m still relatively uncomfortable with a lot of things but it got better the more i pushed through it and just did it instead of being terrified of doing anything, but don’t push yourself everyone has a different pace

i think another thing that’s super important is being reassured by your partner, it being someone you truly love trust and care for. like that’s what you need to even make it work
