Why is it, that after every time I had sex with him I felt dirty and stressed out?

I would race home to shower wanting his touch off of me. I'd want to shove food in my face to relax and unwind.

That's not healthy is it?

No. It is not.

I hope to never evoke that reaction from a lover!!

Your reaction wasn't unhealthy, the relationship was.

@JimboSaturn I'm with you on this, for the most part.

Idk her story, but it could be trauma response after a previous relationship, or being assaulted.

ScreamingFox: whatever the reason was/is for that reaction, I hope you find a way to be able to have a normal relationship again.

I've never been in a situation like that, so I won't pretend to understand. But I do believe in you and your ability to move forward 💜

Feeling dirty or stressed after sex can happen when the experience doesn’t feel emotionally safe, comfortable, or fully wanted. It may be linked to anxiety, lack of trust, or feeling pressured, which can trigger your nervous system into a stress response. Reactions like rushing to shower to wash the person off or eating to relax and unwind can be ways your mind and body try to self-soothe, calm the nervous system, and regain a sense of control.

I could never. I can't even let anyone touch me in that kind of way if I'm not attracted. I hate smelling them off me for the rest of the day. Like a foreign smell, a deodorant or laundry detergent they use of even their own BO or whatever it is, probably everything together. Anyway that's just from as little as a hug, I can't even imagine this. 😭

It sounds to me as if your body is screaming the message to you, "This is not healthy for you!"

Wish I could come up with a funny line.

But no.

You're better off handling it yourself.

No it isn`t healthy. But don`t beat yourself up because of it, that`s not healthy either. 😞

Sex should not be just a physical act for you.
Doesn't sound right

No it’s not.
