After any kind of trauma, not just sexual violence, sometimes sex can be activating. Ground yourself with an emotional safety plan so you and your partner know what to do when you're feeling overwhelmed.

We may sometimes find ourselves in a relationship we call, consider, or want to be sexual⁠ but which…well, isn’t or wasn’t. How can you know when it probably won’t ever be sexual or isn’t likely to be again, and what the lack of sex is all about? 🏜️

"This website is probably the best resource of its kind. I am so lucky, as are all readers of Scarleteen, that this website exists and can provide facts to those who need them." —R Support more like this: Visit the link in our replies and help us raise $7k for celebrate 7 million 2026 visitors!

An apple and star with testimonials from fans of Scarleteen: Someone had told me Scarleteen was the best place on the internet for sexual health info, and I see now that they were completely right! — B. It's so so nice to talk to people who see and hear me as a person. So many places on the internet aren't very inclusive and this has got to be one of the most inclusive spaces I've found online. I wish I had found it back when I was in high school but I'm glad I found it now. —L. This website is probably the best resource of its kind. I am so lucky, as are all readers of Scarleteen, that this website exists and can provide facts to those who need them. —R

In an era where queer & trans people are under attack, our team is defiantly queer & trans led, providing real support to scared people in scary times. But it’s scary for us, too. We need your support so we can provide community care to all who need it, every day: give.gofundme.com/7kfor7m

Scarleteen is, IMO, the best sex, health, and relationship education site on the internet. They've striven to provide the best science-based help and resources for longer than some of you have been alive, and continue to do so. They are so worthy of your help if you're able.

Sex work exit links brought us so many of our visitors in our first 10 years. Gratitude forever. - HC
