Re: Trigger warning - Rape

So weirdly, this actually makes sense to me because that's how I felt for a while. It was a combination of things. I had a lot of guilt when it came to my own sexuality. It was pretty deeply ingrained in me that sex was dirty and shameful and that the only thing men want from women is sex. I was also taking some classes at time that spent a lot of time analyzing the sexualization of women in the media, so that feeling like men just want sex was combining with a sense that the way they treat women is degrading. I started to see sex as inherently degrading.

Put it all together, and even though I enjoyed having sex and knew there was nothing wrong with having it, and that my boyfriend liked me for more than my body, I started having all sorts of hang-ups. And, yeah, I started feeling like he was raping me. He actually figured it out before I fully explained it, too, when we were trying to talk about our problems in the bedroom. He was like, "some of the stuff you're saying and doing makes it sound like you're a victim of sexual assault." And I wasn't, not really, but all those messed up thought patterns were starting to make me act like I was.

So, maybe she's like me. Maybe she's got all these really bad attitudes about sex and they're making her feel this way. It's not healthy at all. I was only able to get past it by untangling everything in therapy.

I don't know what advice to give other than that she should go to therapy, honestly. But hopefully knowing that someone else has experienced that feeling and the reasons why can help you to understand what might be going on with her.
