i had a very stressful and uncomfortable experience when i was young, it happened only once and no i was not raped, but it was enough to make me lose all trust in men. now, 10 years later, i'm in a loving relationship and my boyfriend knows about my past and is ready to take it as gradually as i want to etc. but i decided i want to take a bath with him. he's my first boyfriend and so far we didn't go past fondling, i've not yet seen him naked. i'd like to though, but i'm afraid it will bring back some traumas and that i will freak out due to my issues with trust and the male body. is there any way to make this less hard for myself? i mean, i've already talked to him about it endlessly, what else can i do to mentally "prepare"? i dont want to hurt his feelings by freaking out either!
