i'm guessing you've gone through some type of counseling or trauma recovery for this abuse? if so, is this something you could bring up to a counselor? i have been raped, and i know that that has had lasting effects on certain s/m acts for me (though i love giving oral). but if you talked to a mental health professional, or perhaps a sex therapist who has experience dealing with trauma victims, they might be able to more adequately help you figure out how to get over this fear. though, as puella put it - this needs to be something you WANT to get over. if your desire to serve is such that you want to be able to do this to please a dom, that's one thing...but if you really, really do NOT want to do this and it is a hard limit for you, don't compromise yourself. there are SO many other ways to serve a dom, both sexually and non, and any dom worth his salt should be able to find worth in a submissive or slave outside of her oral capabilities. also (and i think this is the weirdest thing ever) there ARE men who don't get a huge thrill or sexual gratification from oral, and are rather ambivalent about the act. i don't know how many of them there are, but i've met two or three, and i'm sure there are more...so there is always a chance that you'll meet a dom for whom that isn't even an issue at all. edited to add: i also suffer from flashbacks...again, i think this is more something that you might want to explore with a therapist, especially a sex therapist who has experience dealing with post traumatic stress disorder patients, because i am sure not everyone here has had the experience of ptsd and even for those who have, it's hard to give such personalized and specific advice to one person who has experienced a specific trauma and has specific triggers that cause them to flash back.
