I know this will probably end up resulting in counseling, seeing as to how I feel this is more psychological than anything, but I would like to see if anyone on here can help me out first. I am 20 years old, and I've been sexually active for 7 years. I have never had any sexual abuse, including rape, and yet, as of a couple of weeks ago, I find myself terrified of sex.

I have been with my boyfriend now for over a year, and we have a child together, and he has never been threatening to me in any way before. But now, even the slightest touch to my "lower regions" (although I'm sensitive to my breasts, I'm fine with being touched there) makes me jolt and sometimes cry out in fear. I DO have a problem with pleasing people, and we did have sex once after I acquired this fear, and I was silently crying the whole time. Of course, he was upset when he found out (about me crying, not at me being scared), and he no longer initiates contact.

The other night, I was so aroused I didn't have any feelings of scaredness, but half-way through intercourse, it hit me again and I had to stop. Afterwards, I was so overwhelmed I ended up vomiting. I just don't know what it could be- as I've said, I've had no abuse and I used to love everything about sex and anything sexual.

Thank You.
