Open Healthy Sex

I was very promiscious for years, I feel this was a by product of my 2 rapes in my teens. I used sex specifically one night stands as proof of being wanted sexually and also power and control. I then spent years under a vow of abstinence. As of the last month I have got caught up in cyber and phone sex and found it is turned into a obsession that is taking control of my mind and body.

Open Sexual Abuse

I was molested by my step grandfather at the age of 5 and it was never addressed for fear of what it would do to the rest of the family. I guess I was not as important as peace in the family was. Oh well just another lesson to teach me how unimportant I really am.
