Dear Reader,

Thank you for writing in, and I am sorry you have had this worry hanging over you. I am sure this fear is not helping your sex life in any way.

My first suggestion is to actually talk to your husband about how you feel. Sex is about intimacy, and that starts way before the actual act of penetration. For you and your husband to grow together, you need to be honest with each other, and share your deepest vulnerabilities. This may seem terrifying, but the fact is it is actually a powerful thing to do, and enables the other person to also be vulnerable.
