My (M23) girlfriend (F22) wanted me to see her naked without consent. How do I address this?

I don’t know how to approach this. My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for over a year. It’s been an amazing time.<br><br>I’ve had some very negative experiences in the past including assault. Because of this I have been working through a lot of trauma. My girlfriend has been very supportive and understanding. She has made me feel so comfortable. She allowed me to take our relationship at my pace. I was ready to take that next step with her. <br><br>We first did it a month ago and she was great. We were able to communicate openly during the whole process. She made sure I was ready and comfortable. She gave me control over my own pace. It went well, but the second time it didn’t go well at all. <br><br>I was cooking in the kitchen when she walked in naked. We weren’t planning to have sex, so I was not expecting to see her like that. I had no idea she was nude until she was directly in front of me. I wasn’t ready and started to have a panic attack. I know she didn’t mean to, but I felt trapped. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do anything. I felt helpless. I tried to tell her to stop, but she didn’t. She kept moving closer towards me. <br><br>Eventually she covered up and we talked. She said she was just trying to be more open with her body and wanted me to see her naked. I told her I wasn’t ready for that. I told her she scared me and I felt like I was being assaulted. She apologized and said she would give me space. It’s been a few days and we haven’t talked much. I’m still processing everything. I don’t know how to feel. I know she didn’t mean to hurt me, but I’m still hurt. <br><br>I love her so much and I feel horrible for accusing her of assault. She might not have meant to, but she did assault me. She scared the shit out of me. I don’t know what to say to her. I don’t know how to move forward. I know she loves me and wasn’t trying to hurt me, but I’m still scared of seeing her naked now. I don’t know what to do.<br><br>Edit: Thank you all for the responses. I didn’t expect this many responses and I can’t keep up on my phone. I agreed to couples counseling and I will be counseling myself too. I’ll make sure to set clear boundaries. Thank you.
