Sometimes sex gives me flashbacks. Even when I am with my husband. It scares me. I don't know what to do.
I try to not think about the other guys. But I think soemtimes my sub-concious mind pulls it to the forefront.
I have tried to talk to my husband about it, but he doesn't understand.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm sorry you are going through that too and I'm sorry that your husband doesn't understand.
I wish I had some advice for you on how to make him understand but unfortunately I don't. All I can say is that you are not alone.
I had to get down to the nitty gritty and tell him as much as I could. He didn't understand what all SA entails. It is more than being touched. Your right to say NO is taken away. Your security is taken away.
Keep talking to him about it until he gets it. As long as he is willing to listen he wants to understand.
I feel like I have to be in control during sex, not him. If I don't want to change positions per se, we don't...that's final.
I do tend to 'zone out' during sex...but I tend to think of like a movie scene that I have seen that is nice.
It sucks to have all this affecting every piece of our life...There is Sex Therapy available...I have thought about it AFTER I complete my SA/PTSD therapy...maybe.
Otherwise, I could careless usually about sex. Though, sometimes I get the urge. But, I don't like him bringing the subject up at all.
