Sexual Myths #7

If I start to have sex with him, I´ll have to satisfy him to the point of orgasm. Fact: Women with sexual abuse in their past especially tend to feel this way, and understandably so. If you´ve survived a rape, date rape, or molestation, you probably identify with this belief, and you have internalized the idea that "no" is not an option. If your husband is one of the good guys, then he is not one of the creeps who will force you. Remind yourself that he never will be. If you ask a good guy to stop in the middle of lovemaking, he may protest, but he won´t rape you.
