Is it normal to be afraid of sex?

I just broke up with an emotionally abusive ex boyfriend and he CONSTANTLY made me feel so bad about my past. Basically after four years of being with him I feel like I am not a woman that any man would want to marry, because I had made too many mistakes with guys in my past and there's no hope for me. It's like the guys I was with put a red X on me as far as being worthy of a respectable human being.

All of this has made me not desire sex at all, and actually become uncomfortable when other people talk about sex when we're hanging out or whatever. I'm afraid of ever having sex again (only in a committed relationship btw) without feeling so bad about it.

    When someone loves you he doesnt care about your past mistakes.

    well then yes... I'd say it's pretty normal. I would like to know how he accomplished this feat of asswhole-erry but I know that's personal.

    hopefully you'll give a better guy a chance, and he woun't disappoint you. But whatever you do don't let that ass back into your life!

    It's great you broke up with him. He is the only one who did anything wrong. I wish you could just snap out of it, but it's going to take time and maybe some psych and/or spiritual help. *hugs*<3

    That's gross. She has a problem. You do not need to say that. It probably makes her feel worse.

    I don't understand how sex came into it. Could you try to explain a little more?
