I know that things like that don't always cause sexual problems in adulthood. Plenty of straight, level-headed family men in my life have experienced similar treatments. Im sure that a number of people you know have experienced things similar to what youve gone through. It doesnt make these things any less difficult, but i understand where you are coming from. As a child, I was sleeping over at a community center. I ended up being repeatedly sodomized, in the middle of the night, by two male bullies who had been tormenting me for years, and I don't feel that it had anything to do with my sexual attraction. In fact, I felt quite safe when, the next morning, the woman who owned the house found me tied to the couch and in tears. I cried and told her what happened and she promised to keep them away from me and that she wouldn't tell my parents what happened because she knew that could cause me more problems. She and I had an understanding, and that experience ended up being a beneficial one in the fact that I finally found someone who I could trust and who understood the sort-of code that my peers and I had. My attractions are something that I've had all my life. I just didn't realize they existed until recently. I understand this is unusual, but there's not much I can do about that. I agree completely, though, that these things should be taken on a case by case basis. |
