It’s a delicate balance of taking control of your trauma, fear, and desires. You have to push yourself forward to do it but BE CERTAIN that it happens ON YOUR OWN TERMS. This often translates into some people being more dominant or maybe submissive to take back the power of relinquishing control for example. But above all, DO NOT force yourself just because you are horny or curious or even if you’re just tired of feeling that way. Your fear is valid but not impossible to beat!
