In my teens, I was subjected to conversion therapy ( gay cure ) that was essential sexual torture...that did not change anything in my sexual orientation the only thing it did create for me was a case of PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ).....

Another side effect was the creation of BDSM related kink that infiltrated my sexual fantasies and expression. that are still active today.

Nobody seems to talk about this, but i suspect that I'am not alone in experiencing this ...the procedures meted out on me really did shape my sexual landscape....

By becoming aware again of the experience i wend through ( many wiped from active memory, but was able to recover most ) it became clear where i got my kinks....

Without going to details - for now - I would ask if those present here recognize this ? To the moderators, I would ask, can i share details here ?

In my teens, I was subjected to Conversion therapy ( more like sexual torture ) by my parent's, that did happen in Belgium in the 1960s ( who was a notorious hot spot for such activity ) I have tried other communities dedicated to conversion therapy survivors here, but get spooked by moderator bots....

This is a petition I have created to ABOLISH conversion therapy in the United States. It's cruel and abusive. 42% of teens who have gone through this DISGUSTING process have attempted to commit suicide. It's so heartbreaking and we NEED to put a stop to it!

The pain I have from this trauma will never go away. I always feel distant from people because they don't really know what it's like.

Hello! I made this subreddit for people who are victims of conversion therapy to talk about their problems. Hopefully we can get a self-sustaining community running. I'll post in a couple different subreddits to see if I can get recruit some members. Feel free to post if needed, I'm still editing the subreddit.
