VisualSlacker answered Saturday April 14 2007, 4:33 pm: It sounds like you have a fear of sex which has really no backing/reason, which like your subject title suggests it's probably a phobia. First off, I'm sure you already are, but be thankful you have such an understanding boyfriend/fiance. As for the sex thing, the more you worry about it the more you're working yourself up about it; try not to worry about it, and if you can't stop worrying about it, maybe you should talk to a professional about it or if the idea of spending some money in therapy etc, at the very least I suggest you should send this question to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) who probably can come up with a better/ more qualified answer than me and possible quite a few other people. Good luck and I hope you guys have a good wedding. [ VisualSlacker's advice column | Ask VisualSlacker A Question ]

You should not be ashamed, you will be ready when you are ready.
That is a really good thing that your fiance respects you, that is a good attribute in relationships. He will wait.
Don't pressure yourself to have sex when you don't want to, or are afraid to. Then, you might end up even more scared than before you did it!
However, you can (if you want) look up the facts of sex and what happens. Ask your fiance, friends, family, professionals. Maybe knowing the facts and what you are supposed to feel will calm you down. Fear is the unknowing. Get in the know! [ TurrrrrrtleMolly's advice column | Ask TurrrrrrtleMolly A Question ]
