  • Have you experienced this? Talk about it and seek help!

Talk about it

Sexual assault

Even in a relationship, sex against your will with your partner could happen. Even if you really love each other. It’s important for your safety and health that you seek protection. 

Talk about it!

The most important thing is that you talk to someone. Don’t keep your problem as a secret. Try to talk about it with your partner. And to understand together what’s wrong.

Can’t do this? Or do you just not want to anymore? Think of how you can protect yourself. Talk about it to someone you trust. Maybe it would be better to take a break from your relationship.
