Hi, not sure if this goes here but does anyone think their sexuality has changed since the abuse . I feel like I'm bisexual but is that because I'm afraid of men or not.
 
I often wonder this myself. I consider myself bisexual, although I wonder if I would be had I not been abused. Either way I am who I am, so I try not to think about why! :p
 
Thanks, I think I worry so much because my family don't know and I've grown up in a Christian family.:depressed:
 
I admit I'm hypersexual or oversexed. Whatever you call it. I know it comes from childhood sex abuse (rape at 3 and 1/2 years old), PTSD and my Bipolar. I was raped at 3 and 1/2 by a male and female and it made me hate men pretty much. I posted all this on a hypersexuality thread of mine here: [DLMURL]https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/hypersexuality.29839/[/DLMURL] It does explain the brain's chemicals involved (with me at least). Hopefully, you will find some understanding there, too. (((Jenny))))
 
When I've read your post I feel like I went through something similar for about a month (at 14) I'm not like that now though.

Jenny, you are young. I've known quite a few bisexuals and eventually they chose the right one, regardless of their partner's gender, to settle down with. I say wait till 30 to even think about that. Nothing wrong with liking both. I was never with any men but did consider it seriously in high school. We all go through the same sex curiosity. Some want the experience more. My advice is to experiment with someone you trust and see if it is what you imagined. That would clear up the confusion. I understand why you are confused. I still am confused sexually. :( Many hugs for you, fellow survivor.
 
I am also bisexual and oversexed. I think about sex 24/7, but have incredible self control. Actually am proud of myself because I could literally f*ck anyone who walked past who was half decent, and that is not something I am proud of.

People just think I am very very weird, but I honestly don't give a toss anymore what they think.
