I prefer to try to be open and understanding which drives most of my friends and relatives crazy. They equate it with not caring enough, lacking discipline, having no strong beliefs, etc, which does make me feel sad, for them, because I think we all need to understand, support, and share with each other. Definitely hard to do alone. So, I offer my sympathy to you for what you have had to endure, and if you want a listener who you haven't met to tell something which you're not sure it's safe to share, you can do it anonymously, then when you feel more secure, you'll have broken the "gag" reflex already. I listen. I cannot judge anything untold, I will not claim to do it for your own good--that's your benefit, and mine is to feel trusted. I've got issues too that I'm trying to work through, and yes I have the book. It takes time, but what is that? A manmade measurement set against infinity. I applaud you, keep up the good...

However, suggesting that a new partner take time to read through this entire book might be a bit overwhelming to begin with. As a first step in a new relationship, I would suggest that anyone who is working through healing sexual abuse take time to sit down and have a talk about their sexual needs. This also gives the new partner a chance to talk about their needs with you. I would recommend that anyone beginning a new sexual connection have this type of conversation before making love for the first time. While it may not be very "romantic", it helps to create a closer connection and more comfort once you become sexual with each other, not to mention more pleasure through improved communication!
