My partner’s past affects our sex life
Q When we met, I was charmed that my partner didn’t rush into sex. Then it worried me that we never got beyond foreplay. He’s finally confessed he’s scared of intercourse because he was sexually attacked some years ago. So, while he loves messing about, he doesn’t want to go all the way. I’m worried for him, plus I’m not sure I’m up for a partnership without full sex. Can I help him get through this?

A You can help your partner get through this, but you shouldn’t try to do it alone. He’s suffering from trauma brought on by his) and find a local psychosexual therapist.
