DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my ex-girlfriend accused me of rape, I’m struggling to have satisfying sex.
I’m a 31-year-old man and was with her for two years. But I ended our relationship when she cheated on me.
Then I found out through social media that she was making these allegations as a way of getting back at me for dumping her.
The police didn’t pursue a case against me because there was no evidence and they saw through her lies.
I thought I’d moved on but now whenever I have sex with a woman it always takes me so long to reach climax, which is frustrating for both of us.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
However, if I have sex with a guy, it is all over in seconds, which is also upsetting.
I am confused about where I am sexually. I am trying to find myself again after this ordeal, but I am struggling.
I love sex but I don’t know whether I am bi, straight or gay. Please help.
DEIDRE SAYS: I’m sorry you had this dreadful experience and it’s not surprising you are still suffering.
To help you move on, talk it through with FASO, the False Allegations Support Organisation (false-allegations.org.uk, 0844 335 1992) which offers emotional support.
If this has made you question your sexuality, find support at Switchboard LGBT+ (switchboard.lgbt, 0300 330 0630). But try not to take too much notice of how quickly you climax.
This is different with every person, regardless of their sex.
