"When I was 18 I dated a man who was very abusive. At the end of our relationship he violently raped me in my living room. We had been together for more than a year, and he knew "the right moves," so I had an orgasm. I have the worst case of guilt over that fact, so much so that I haven't been able to have more than a dozen orgasms since. I'm now 34 years old, and this has ruined every relationship I've had since. Any advice on how to overcome this quilt and enjoy my sex life again?"
