I HATE SEX! Help me make my husband understand

An_245632 posted:
I am 48 years old; on my second marriage (this one is on its 16th year). I have never liked sex unless I was drunk and I haven't been drunk since my very early 30's) I don't like foreplay either. I put off having sex for as long as I can before my husband gets so upset he begins to tell me that if I don't have sex; then our marriage is over...so I give in.
Sex make me feel ill and foreplay makes me feel dirty. I don't want to read books on how to liven up my sex life. I don't want it...plain and simple. I cannot get my husband to understand how it makes me feel; when I try it turns it around onto himself and then we end up having sex and doing what I just told him I didn't want to do.
I was molested as a child, raped as a teenager and as a young adult. I have always thought of sex as a way to keep a man from leaving me...and so far; I have been right on this one. How can I get my husband to understand; to completely understand what having sex does to me. He knows about me being molested and raped, he knows how sex and foreplay makes me feel; but it's as if he doesn't care. It's my body; shouldn't I be able to have the last say?
