    Hi Roy.i think I am in the same boat as you.I am about to see a psychiatrist for anxiety but want to try and address my fear of intimacy and fear of sex. I want relationships but am too fearful of them.I am 47 years old and have never discussed this with anyone,let alone a psychiatrist.I cannot see how they can help if I can't bring myself to be in an intimate situation without shaking with fear and panic.As you have had theraoy for your problem,What do you think the psychiatrist will ask me or offer me as treatment?.I'm terrified at the thought,it's the biggest fear of my life,but I cannot carry on like this.I want to be with someone but at present,I've got a better chance of winning the lottery 3 times in a row,than having sex,let alone being in a relationship.
