I do apologise that this is not your typical AskMen type post but I wanted to ask this question to either get some hope or answers. For context I’m a 21M currently on placement and as a child I was sexually abused by a woman I never told anyone as it was “our little secret” and quite frankly no one would have believed a cheeky 6 to 9 year old kid. I am asking this question because I have noticed this experience has taken a toll on my life. In terms of relationships with my own female family members even though they didn’t abuse me. I am in a weird limbo of being a virgin and being hypersexual and jacking off 3x a day. I dont see myself getting married or being intimate as I can’t fathom myself being in a vulnerable situation again. I have reached out for a therapist and they said they would give me a special type of therapy tailored to situations like this. I haven’t told anyone what I have been through because the only time I mentioned it to someone which was a girl she laughed in my face saying how did you get abused as a man. To the men who went something similar how did you heal and work through it? and how are your lives now? Are you some of you happy with kids or? submitted by /u/h_424
