I am not able to focus on having sex. I am married for a year now but I am scared when the penis is near the vagina. I become rigid. Mentally I am fearing the pain. Want to stop it. Need ideas?

Hello- Fear of sex or sexual intimacy is also called ?genophobia? or ?erotophobia.? This is more than a simple dislike or aversion. It?s a condition that can cause intense fear or panic when sexual intimacy is attempted. For some people, even thinking about it can cause these feelings. If there is a physical component present, such as vaginismus, this can be treated accordingly. Pain with intercourse is common. If left untreated, it might lead to a fear or avoidance of sexual intercourse.
