Is this strange? (pos. trigger)

[Nightwolf]

my wife and i were talking last night and she brought something up. I tend to be more open and honest during sex. I asked her to marry me during sex, I was able to express my deep feelings for her during sex. I mean I would tell her I loved her but I could say more while having sex.

Then the other night we were being sexual and I started spilling my guts about certain thoughts I was having (about men).

I came from a family of little emotion, I spent most of my time alone. So when the abuse happened to me I guess I took what he did to me as the attention I've craved but didn't know I needed so I felt safe. In hind sight it's caused more problems then I ever imagined.

So I guess during sex I feel safe and open up, does anyone else feel this way?

It is very common for sex to become associated with trust. Sex becomes associated with many things. Trust or the lack of trust becomes associated with many different things too. What you are referring to are just a couple of examples of what is at the core of the long term effects of sexual assault / abuse.
