Hi, I'm in a very happy relationship with my boyfriend. We live together and have a fun and loving relationship.

The problem is when it comes to sex. To begin with things were fine, however, I have gradually become increasingly scared of sex. When we start to initiate it my body seizes up and I push my boyfriend away. I still fancy my boyfriend and (it sounds silly but) still very much enjoy kissing and hugging him and we are able to speak about my problem (in fact he's sat next to me whilst I type this). But I can't really remember when we last had sex. We dont' know how to get over this fear, we have tried everything we can think of,

I know my boyfriend wont' leave me 'for' this problem, however, I have an inside fear that it will drive us apart.

Please can you let me know whether or not anyone else has ever experienced anything like this, and hopefully, let me know how they got over it.
