Problems with Sex

Problems with Sex
I think it must be difficult for all men to cope with the problem when they have difficulties with sex. After all, men are supposed to be the initiators and constant pursuers of sex. Our problem is just more of the same, made acute by the fact that we are survivors of sexual abuse.

I keep trying to tell myself that my abuse lasted four years, then years of trying to figure it out and decide who I was, then decades of denial. Recovery from all that isn't going to come in a day or a month or even a year, and in the meantime I have to keep telling myself that things do get better and this doesn't define me as a person or as a man.

Much love,
Larry
