I(21m) have pretty severe PTSD from being sexually assaulted by a family member when I was in high school. I have been able to have pretty successful relationships, but I find that it takes me a long time to be able to have sex without dissociating or having really bad flashbacks. At times it gets so bad that the person can't even touch me afterwards. I know this can be a deal breaker and I completely respect that, and don't want to make anyone ever feel like they have to put up with it or have to try and be with me through it. I've been debating just putting it in my dating profiles that I have PTSD and sex won't happen for a while, and maybe even adding that I just really need to be able to know and trust someone first. I am working through this, but want to make sure that I'm not wasting anyone's time and respecting what they need I suppose. Anyways, what do you guys think? Would that be too much? Should I just wait until the first or second date?
Also sorry if this has been asked before I tried searching for something like it and couldn't find anything
