I have a lot of these issues too, for the same reason as your girlfriend. I run into a wall, unless the sex is straightforward mechanical -- and when it is mechanical, I feel debased and dirty. I even panic when someone tries to kiss me. My jaw locks and I have to turn away. Wild, insane, unemotional sex does work for me ... for a moment. Then it goes right back to feeling empty. So I suggest you keep doing what you are doing and let her go at her own pace. She will come around. I know it's hard to wait (most men won't even be that patient), but it will pay off in the long run. Thanks. =)
