Dissociation during sex

hi JamesM,
this is very sensitive and very delicate issue. I congratulate you for being brave to share with us such intimate story.
I have to add that I have similar issues occasionally with intimacy and still looking how to get more relaxed and at easy. Well I am happy that sometimes it is easier and more spontaneous. I guess body memories are very deeply buried and waiting to get to the surface. I am usually trying to stay to present and connected to myself trough breathing, listening, trying to feel and so on although I am not always successful.
I hope some other members would add their experience.

Take care!

Echoing peroperic to say thanks for posting this.

I use fantasy most of the time I have sex with my partner, which I guess is not the same as dissociation, but maybe makes me equally non-present since I don't concentrate on my body sensations either.

Worse, they are fantasies related to my abuse. I'd like to stop, but I don't feel like I can be sexual without using them.
