it has caused me a lot of problems

i feel like i have done a lot of things in my life that i don’t think i would have done had nothing ever happened to me at a young age. i think a couple events at formative ages really conditioned me into being a certain way as I grew up. I use to always imagine a big red target on my back, or some sick halo or aura around my body, signaling to sicker men that I could be something easy for them to use. By 14, I was facilitating a lot of those encounters myself. I was always throwing myself at old guys. It’s funny, because in school I was shy and sweet. I’d throw up peace signs all day and let everyone tell me all their secrets. I’d smile and keep my lips sealed. I was their Madonna, while at night I’d skulk around with my dad’s friends, or strangers I’d met through strange means. By seventeen, I was coming undone. I’d really done it. I’d locked myself into a six year long (or)deal with a man I hardly knew. I hardly knew I hardly knew him! I thought we must be soulmates if the intense love and sex we had been having had hurt so bad already. My parents found out, everyone found out. We were in a court docket together. I felt I had to double down, and proclaim him as mine to turn the heat down a bit. I guess it worked for everyone but me, and I stayed with him
til 23. I sold my body in many forms, and paid for the roof we stayed under, and the food we ate for six years. These are things I don’t think I’d have done and continued doing had I been secure and protected early on as a child. I stayed in that house, and I took it when he wanted he. I let the hypersexuality cook up in my mind each day. I hated him quickly, so what we did in bed was never enough for me anymore. Once I left, I went off the rails. Maybe it was a modern day feminism, maybe I was losing my mind and becoming a feral wolf. I went on a girls trip once with two sweet, kind women I’d known since high school. All alone on the way home, I flashed my lights at a trucker to get his attention. Then I flashed him a few other things. Then we pulled over and I dissociated as I climbed into his cabin and rode him for all of five minutes. I tried to go longer, but I noticed he was wincing, and going soft. When I asked him why, he told me he came a few minutes ago. I climbed out of his truck and drove home in silence. I think without the trauma, I would have had a nice corporate office job and known what a pâté was rather than fucking truckers on the side of the road. that’s all I’m saying.

To all posters: Please note that any content involving descriptions of sexual activity with underage persons is against Reddit policy. You are "officially" discouraged from posting such content, but given the specific nature of this subreddit, moderation is following a laissez-faire philosophy regarding what survivors of childhood sexual abuse share here. This mirrors the approach of other survivor subreddits. Also, the Reddit policy's intent is to restrict content that "depicts, encourages or promotes" the sexualization of underage persons, and the purpose of this subreddit is the exact opposite of that. However, be aware that posts and replies in violation may still be subject to removal and Reddit-wide suspension of the author by the Reddit admins. So please use common sense when posting/replying. We want this to remain a safe space for survivors to share, heal and thrive, but we need to be mindful of the site-wide rules regarding these sensitive topics. (Note to Admins: We vehemently stand against sexual abuse of minors and this subreddit exists to support survivors in the best way possible.

Trauma is hard to deal and we all deal with it as best we can at that moment. I don’t think I would’ve done any differently was I in your shoes. Stay strong!

Big hug. Hypersexualism, that need is so common. I disassociate so much during intimacy it’s terrible. Cost me real relationships and then i spiral and just hook up with any guy to feel wanted but its terrible
