Hi all, I wondered how many of us have had their sex life impacted by their obsessive fear of becoming pregnant or their obsession over consent? I have personally been affected by this and on top of that my medicine means I have literally 0 libido. As you can imagine, my relationshop is strained by this (partner of 5 years). Any tips on how to tackle any of these issues? I want to do more ERP for the issue but constantly pushing my partner away is causing more issues on top 🤦‍♀️

He is totally understanding and supportive, that's the thing. He has always been that way thankfully! It's more about the continued frustration of not being able to enjoy one another for any of the above reasons :/

@GoodEgg I think the best is to take it step by step... I am sorry to not give you an answer its complicated when you don't know about the person 😊 and its more difficult when myself facing ocd and can't get over it... I can just say that you are allowed to be comprehensive with yourself and taking thing one by one and one day at the time, just enjoy each - little or big-step that you are doing with your partner and never forced yourself to do something! 🥰

@jade Thank you, of course I understand 😊

@GoodEgg Have you tried to speak about your medications problems with your doctor?

@jade Yes, I have an appointment with a mental health advisor and I'm hoping to be re-referred to my local adult mental health team 🤞🏻 just wondered of anyone else had experienced it 😊

@GoodEgg I hope that it will go well for you (I don't hope you (I don't know if i can say it like that 😅) , I'm sure it will be okay) 🥰

@jade Thank you! 😊

For me, consent is an obsessive topic but I appreciate your honesty.

@GoodEgg So many people are confused with the topic
