At 6 (in the late 50’s) I was molested by a 14 year old girl. I’ve been married 5 times, lived with several women, and have never been able to really commit. My two brothers, on the other hand, have been married to the same women for 40 and 34 years. They have told me they were never interested in another woman. We were brought up in a Christian home, in church every Sunday. Of course, I have never been interested in a child. I would guess that pretty much sums up what it did to me. It does have a profound effect on the victims. The girl that molested me had been molested from a young age.
I have been happily married for the last 17 years, so I think I’ve finally gotten past it. At the time, and for many years, I didn’t think it had really affected me. But I now think that is what drove my relationships with women. So yes, I would have denied, as the article states. The victims don’t realize what a great effect it has. Look at our society and the promiscuity of our youts, as Rush would say.
Time to declare Jihad on these perverts who are corrupting our society.

I am so happy that you have found your soul mate and married for the last 17 years. I think (personally, no data) that boys are equally molested in numbers the same as girls. However, our society tries to cover that up... While women can go to a therapist, state they survived such torment... is okay. Why do we cringe when it happens to a little boy? Are they suppose to somehow just recover without any lasting negative effects. Personally, I think if criminologists looked into juvenile crime, I think abuse would statistically pop up like red flags. If criminologists looked into other issues like “non commitment, substance abuse etc” I have the feeling that abuse would be overwhelmingly high in numbers.

Prayers for you TStro!

My experience wasn’t as extreme as yours. Unfortunately, many on the “Hot Teacher” threads would call you “lucky.” Keep your face towards Christ, FRiend. He’s the source of all healing.
