Survivors often have very good instincts about what they need to do to heal. What seems like a dynsfuction can actually be a very sound healing strategy whether chosen consciously or unconsciously.

For many survivors, avoiding sex may be a very important, choice-affirming, decision.

To heal sexually you must learn to say no to unwanted sex. It is important to make a commitment to yourself that you will never again grit your teeth and endure it when you really don´t want sex. Every time you have sex when you genuinely don´t want to, you add another layer of abuse, repeat the pattern of victimization, and thus delay your healing.
