Does being sexually abused as a child affect you sexually?

It is possible. It might make you more sexually active, or less sexually active. It depends how you take it.

Take care!

3 of my friends were sexually abused, 1 ended up very sexually active, and the other 2 didnt.

Things bother us that we LET bother us... The boggy man in the closet, the shadow behind the door, the water heater making strange noises at night.. Some of these things may have bothered you when younger but no longer do today. Why..? You got over it... . I'm not saying what happened to you is such a light thing.My wife was molested from 4 years old to 10 or 12 by family and others she thought she could trust the most too.

Today she has a normal and health sex drive and life. In fact, she is a bit more sexual than others her age.Is it from her past..? Who knows, but while it will always be a part of he lifer, her hate for what happened and them robbing her of a normal child hood, she moved on and "got over it"... . Oh, she remembers a great deal but has learned to work through it.

You have choices you can make, we all do in life. You can choose to always feel bad about something you can't change now or you can accept it as a part now of who you are. You can talk to others who may have had some of the same things happen to them and in doing so, help each other.

Remember, there are always people ready to listen to you and hear your sorrow. The more you let it out, the less it stays inside and burns a hole in your personality. You can let it rule you or you can rule it..! .

Your choice..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
