Sexual Assault I feel guilty

[Amy_Lisa]

I wasn't raped, but I was manipulated and pressured into giving my ex oral. I feel like I shouldn't be as emotional about it as I am because it was not actual rape. So many others have had it so much worse than me. I feel incredibly guilty for feeling so much over what happened. I know that what happened was assault, but I feel like I am over reacting because it could've been so much worse.

You are aware coercion isn't consent, and not consenting (enthusiastically, of your own free will) is rape, yes?

I thought rape was only when you were forced to have sex when you didn't give consent

Oral sex, is still sex.

Pardon the bluntness of this.

It doesn't matter what orifice he puts it in, if you didn't want it in there, it was rape.
You're not overreacting, just reacting.

^ That.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, & get it gets confusing.

Did you decide to do it in order to get him to stop asking/go away, or did you believe you had to do it in order to get him to stop asking/go away?

I felt I had to because I felt that if I didn't the pressure would get worse and more often and something really bad would happen

Then it was rape.
