I developed a kink from trauma and I’m worried I won’t be able to find a healthy sexual relationship because I feel like I won’t be able to have sex unless the kink is involved and finding a good match for me is already near impossible

Seeing therapist will most likely never fix the trauma but can help view things differently and not feeling like you have to do the kink to have sex

100%, I know what you mean. I’m not really interested in sex unless it involves one of my main kinks, and even romantic attraction is closely interwoven with that stuff for me. trauma-related for me too. I think that’s all true for plenty of people who are into kink / BDSM / fetishism at the lifestyle level though

Yeah that’s how it is for me too, the more I think about it the more I realize how much my negative experiences have impacted my ability to be intimate with people lol. I feel better knowing I’m not the only one with this kind of experience thank you

i struggled with the same thing. abstaining is key it’ll help your mind reorient itself. stay away from sexual stimulants and just give yourself time
