is this normal?/how to go forward

Hi- sorry if this doesn't belong here, I just have been unsure about it for a long time and wanted to get some perspective. I'm 23, lesbian, and I don't really get aroused during sex.

issues with pelvic exam, etc

tw for mention of assault i guess. also sorry this is really long. I'm 19 years old and I've been to the gynecologist twice- the first was when I was 17 or so with a doctor who specialized in teens, and performed an external and breast exam. I had a lot of anxiety about this exam but it was ultimate...
