Thanks for all the replies to my message. I do have OCD not so much with germs in general just afraid of getting sick and dying from sexual diseases like AIDS and also I worry about getting cancer. I have a terrible fear of going to doctors so the thought of being sexually active scares me because I'm nervous I'll get a STD then I will have to do to the doctor. My fear of doctors comes from an early age I had a horrible, mean Peditrician who was a real jerk. He gave me a phobia of doctors that I still have today. Also, a lot of people in my family have died of cancer which reinforces my fear of illness and doctors. It really sucks feeling this way I know it's not normal.

I'm 32 years old and scared of sex. Not the sex part but of catching a disease. I'm very aware of how to prevent STD's through condoms and careful selection of partners but still have aniexty. I have no one to talk to about this so very happy to find this message board! I have a major fear of illnesses and do not like to go to doctors because I fear being sick. This is a obsession I have had for years. I've met a nice guy who I'm afraid to get intimate with because I'm very anixous of getting some sort of STD or getting pregnant. I can't talk to him about it he will think I'm a nut and don't want to scare him off. I met a man a few years ago who I thought was a great guy but found out he was bi and having sex with lots of different men. I broke it off with him from worrying about catching something from him! I need some reasurrance or someone to help me with this problem.
