Dear Abby guidance on sexual desire and relationship timing
A reader identifies as asexual with no sex drive, recounting past rape trauma and pressure from her boyfriend to have sex. Abby urges seeking mental health support or rape counseling to assess trauma, while affirming the reader should follow her feelings and decline sex. In a separate letter, a young woman questions moving with a college boyfriend and engagement timing, advised that engagement implies far more commitment and risks, and to seek parental advice before making drastic moves.
