I am constantly inspired by some of these survirvors and their stories of strength. My experience happened when I was 6 - 8, and unlike so many less fortunate children, my experience was relatively "loving" though of course no less wrong. But compared to some of the horrific, rough or painful experiences of so many others, I never saw my experience as truly wrong until I got older. As a result, my experience shaped so much of my sexuality as I hit puberty, and the older I got, the more ashamed I got using the memories as an "arousal crutch". I realized quickly that I couldn't explain it to anyone without freaking them out, and as a result I have struggled to connect sexually with others for most of my life. It's been a frustrating and complex journey. Much love and strength to everyone who has been a victim of this or worse.
