is it normal to be afraid to have sex 5 years after being raped?

Sad , but true.

If you are lucky , someone will come along that will make you feel better.

Keep looking and you will find that person.

Oh I am so sorry! That is so terrible for a woman. I have no experience in this, but I am intereted in psychology and I know this is very normal. Someone invaded you, how can you not think about thast awful time in your life, but you have to move on. I am not telling you to meet a guy and have intimacy with him. I am a christiian so I believe in marrige before intercourse. But I klnow you have to try all you can to trust more and try to fade this horrible episode away from your life. Maybe talk to young women about it at a center, so it can make you move on from hearing what you've been through. I am sorry. Merry Christmas!!!

Very normal. Trust someone and see what happens.

Yes. It's been over five years for me and I'm still terrified and disgusted.

yes

I suppose. But you have to move on now.
