It is true. Anyone who has been abused will struggle deeply with their sexuality. Often they will be hyper-sexual until the appropriate time of the sanctity of marriage... and then they will freeze. It is not like a person can turn on or off a switch to sexuality any differently than they can stop depression or anxiety. Sex after abuse take work in learning to trust and also to enjoy touch again. by Lala-lizzy at Deviantart It's time again, The deep allure, Of wanting more. So I pretend, That I am dead, In my love's bed. The creeping nudge To like a tree Give more of me. Yet, in my head, And numb body, I fight to be. The sweet response To his caress - I now undress. His tender touch And luscious kiss Melts my resist. To know my love, And to be known Is two alone - as one.
