To ask for some therapy help from mumsnetters?

[PrincessTeacake]

In a nutshell, I've had an intense phobia of sex dueto childhood abuse and OCD, and I'm finally starting to recover. However, part of the therapy involves talking to other people about their experiences and my friends, supportive as they are, are a bit useless about this.

So, do you mind me asking how you managed to not freak out when you got naked with someone?

I keep the lights low and drink wine. Also, have you tried some erotic literature? First one I read was My Secret Garden, not a story but a collection of women's fantasies. Some do nothing for me, but some - phew!
