I'm Kiki,

I'm 19 years old now but I've always wanted to know why I had certain symptoms of certain things. As a kid around the time I was in 1st grade I had rape fantasies . I use to think I would get in trouble if I talked about it so I kept it as a secret for years. I would masterbate all the time. I used my brothers action figures once but any other time I used a pillow or my fingers. I felt bad after I was finished I felt like somebody was watching me. I would some times take a blanket in the shower with me as a child and imagine someone on top of me. And in response I would say no out loud. I didn't know what was going on with me. As a kid I used to crave sex as if I already knew the feeling of it. I use to struggle paying attention in class, I would day dream about a lot of things but majority of the time I hummed songs, and thought of sex or rape. I never did well in school I was often placed in classses for slower kids. I wet the bed up to 5th grade and wet my pants at school all the time. I just couldn't understand what was wrong with me. On the school bus I started becoming close with a boy I had class with. we was in 2nd grade then. we never had sex on the bus I just allowed him to kiss me/ and lick places. I struggle with anxiety now I have never dated anyone before in my life. I have low self esteem. when I was a child I wore baggy clothes, and would prefer braids to the back like a boy. I didn't want to be a girl. I once prayed to God that he would change me to a boy.its so much more I could say but the thing is I don't ever remember being sexually abused as a child. I need some advice.
 
Fantasies are normal even rape fantasies. Masterbation is normal. Sorry you've had such hard struggles, makes me sad. Follow your dreams.
 
Sounds like you have been sexually abused. Children only dream about rape when they have something to inspire it. I believed until I was 19 that my abuse was a dream. It was not, but it was the only way my 7yr old brain could cope. I too wet the bed, acted out sexually and was a tomboy throught my teens. If you had the same dream repetitively I'd look at the details. Either way, seeing a therapist is really important.
 
No one here can really tell you whether you were abused as a child or not, we weren't there and many different things can leave children with very disturbing thoughts and feelings. You may have been exposed to porn at a very young age or walked in on your parents having sex at an age where you were too young to consciously process what was happening.

I guess what I'm saying is that very sexual thoughts and feelings in childhood doesn't necessarily equate to having been sexually abused. I'd echo others in suggesting you find a good therapist to help you understand your feelings.
