What is Sexual Abuse?
Sexual abuse is when someone with less power is tricked, trapped, coerced, или bribed into any type of sexual experience. Power imbalance may result from the perpetrator’s age, size, position, experience, или authority and includes kissing, fondling, being forced to touch the abuser’s genitals, anal, oral или vaginal sex, and non-contact acts such as exhibitionism, exposure to pornography, voyeurism или sexual Комментарии или looks.
If, as a child, Ты experienced anything that felt sexual или yucky with someone who had еще power than you, Ты were abused.
It was abuse:
■Even if Ты were never touched
■Even if Ты didn’t say no
■Even if it only happened once
■Even if Ты only watched
■Even if it felt good
■Even if Ты participated
■Even if it was a “game”
■Even if Ты got something for it
■Even if it was with another child
■Even if it was suggestive comments
■Even if there was something about it that Ты liked
■Even if Ты didn’t tell
It’s common to compare your experience with another’s. If someone else’s abuse seems еще severe than your own, that does not diminish your own suffering. There is еще to abuse than the physical act. Sexual abuse is a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual violation. Often, the most painful part of abuse does not leave visible scars. Life-devastating effects can come from years of childhood rape или five секунды of being fondled. If Ты suffered from abuse, Ты deserve to heal.
