For those who have experienced sexual assault when younger, and who – after years of avoiding sex due to flashbacks, or having intermittent sex only when intoxicated – were only able to label and being processing it years later:
What is your sex life like now? Have you been able to rediscover pleasure in sex? Have any particular types of therapy / alternative approaches worked better for you than others (particularly around penetrative sex)? And do you have any advice for others and/or their partners navigating similar experiences?
Thank you.
