I tried to explain it to them but they didn't understand, it's nice that there's someone out there who gets where I'm coming from. They would always just do the 'get over it' thing and be rough
That would be enough to put anyone off sex! No one has the right to tell you to "get over it" and they certainly do not have the right to be rough! (Whether or not you're touch sensitive, they don't have this right!) If you found a decent guy who was willing to wait and work with you, could you start by taking his hand and demonstrating how lightly you need to be touched, maybe first on your face before you reach any other areas? I've found that most men are pretty happy when a girl takes initiative in explaining what she likes. I think you could eventually get comfortable enough with a man who is willing to take things slowly and gently! Before I lost my virginity, I had a lot of guys say it was no problem, basically because I think many men find the idea of being a woman's first, erotic. When they discover that dating a virgin doesn't mean she's dying to sleep with them, though, it can lose its appeal!
For me, I'm comfortable enough with my husband (who is not pushy and very gentle) to enjoy sex. My tolerance of being touched goes up and down; if I'm having a day where I simply cannot bear touch, or cannot bear that much touch, I tell him before the topic of sex comes up. OTOH, if I initiate a cuddle session, he knows I'm open to it!
