Is there something wrong with me physically and/or mentally?


Question:
I got raped 2 and 1/2 months ago, and I haven't been able to orgasm since. I didn't go see a doctor after it happened and I'm wondering if this is normal? I don't want religious opinions, so please don't even bother.

Answers:
Was your rapist caught? Mentally, the trauma that you felt during that event may cause you to react physically. Trauma causes pain. The brain and the body is interconnected always. What the mind perceives the body will show. That is why you can't have an orgasm whenever you are doing anything sexual. You might put the event at the back of your head, but subconciously it's there lurking.

I think you need to talk to someone who you trust or much better if she's a counselor. Or if you're uncomfortable with one, go to a sex therapist.

Why didn't you see a doctor? Did you report him? I do hope so.

Anyway, good luck with that.

Other Answers:
probably mental issue if you were able to before. Seek counseling if it bothers you.
That is totally normal after having such an experience as rape. You know, counseling for rape victims would help you in a lot of ways, emotionally and physically. I hope that you will be able to enjoy yourself soon enough. You just need to give it some time, 2 &1/2 maonths is not very long ago. Wishing you luck.
First, I'm so sorry to hear that you were violated. Nobody deserves that.

If you're not able to orgasm, perhaps your body is so turned off sex right now. There could be some issues that need to be worked out before you're able to have good sexual experiences again. Sex may remind you of the rape and you won't orgasm because you're scared. I haven't been raped, but I knew someone who was and this happened to her. I would suggest talking to someone, anyone, about the rape. Keeping it to yourself is such a heavy burden.
I'm so sorry that happened. If there's someone you trust like a parent or someone in your family ask them. If you have a friend you trust with your life ask them what to do. You should really talk to someone and try to get your rapist off the streets. You should also talk to a counselor of psychologist and tell them your problems. They may be able to help you feel better and be able to enjoy pleasure again. It could be because you are in a state of shock or trauma and sex is unpleasant because you remember when you were raped.
yes there is! you should be ashamed of yourself for getting raped! go get a fake tan!
I think it's prob just psychological. You should prob have a checkup and tell your dr, then if you're fine maybe he can recommend some trauma counseling.
I was raped 20 years ago and waited to get counseling, but I went. I highly recommend counseling. Even after 20 years I don't like males I am not real familiar with to get close and have a hard time with small places, I feel trapped. I know how hard it can be to talk about but you really should seek help.
