Is your sexuality determined by sexual abuse?

I think I'm bisexual, I'm not sure. I am very atracted to women & ocassionally I am to men as well. BUT...mean totally scare me, I can't force myself to sleep with any (even good friends). I think it's because I was abused sexually by a male family member when I was in my young teens. Although he never penetrated me. Did I turn to girls because of my past? Do I face my fear & sleep with a guy? I just don't know. Can anyone relate?

Hi Fairydust,

I am sorry to hear about your past. It is sad when the evil of the world invades our lives.

I would agree with DaniDanger, don't do anything you are not comfortable with.

But if you can afford it, I would suggest you try to find a good therapist to help you with your feeling concerning the abuse. Therapy can help you get your feelings and can help you get on with your life without creating future roadblocks.

    Hi all! This is for those of you that have or have had the same neurologist for 4 years or more. I have been with mine now since 2009. He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
