so my husband and i have been having a lot of issues with intimacy. (inferfility, low libido, pcos, low sex drive, painful cramps, pain during sex, puking after sex.. a lot of things). my husband is understanding and so is he. we've just been having a lot of problems lately. we also found out how many other couples are having intimacy issues. so we've decided to incorporate pda, kiss, cuddle, be more affectionate, etc and see if that goes into sex. we also found some other tips online how to deal with that so well. today we had a therapy appointment and our therapist (a woman) told me that i should not wait for that to happen and i need to start making things happen. she said that if i was more "open" about my sexuality, i would be more open to sex. so i told her i don't think that will help me and i think that's just pushing me to do it.. also i felt very uncomfortable with that and felt violated. i told her that i dont even like to hug my family, so that's not just it... i said i'm also having the physical problems too. she said well, do it anyway. (and that's just pushing me to do things i'm not comfortable with, and i don't think that will solve anything). so i said "i think you are not the therapist for me, i don't think we're going to be able to work" so she said "fine, i will just call your husband in then". so he came in and she asked if he was happy with me and if he was satisfied with that. he said he was. she said well then maybe he's not meeting your needs, maybe thats why you're not into sex. then she said "ok so how many times do you want to have sex a week?" and he said "oh, maybe 3-4 times a week?". then she said "and how many times do you normally have sex a week?" and my husband said "ok um, maybe once a week at most?" then she said "yeah thats not enough, maybe we can do 2-3 times a week?" and my husband said "oh, sounds great" and i was like "wait a minute.. um, no, i don't think thats a good idea", and she said "ok so how many times a week do you think you will want to have sex in a week?" and i said "i don't know, but i would like to want to have sex with my husband, you know, not because we have to, but because we want to" and she said "and you think that will happen?" and i said "yeah, eventually, well, i don't know", and she said "so you want your husband to wait?" and i said "no, that's not what i'm saying at all... but you just pressured me into having sex with my husband" and she said "well you need to be intimate with your husband, so what are you going to do about it?" and i said "i'm going to look for a different therapist", i got up and i left. i felt completely violated.
