I don't know how often this happens to others, but right now I'm getting LOTS of sexual spam in my inbox. At first it was just dating sites. Ok, whatever. I'm married. I don't really need a dating site or instructions on how to date. Next came the, buy a wife from China or Brazil. Ok, still not too bad. Annoying, but ok. Then came the look at my sexy pictures and enhance the size of the male (whatever, I'm not saying it. I don't like to say or write those words). I'm getting nearly 50 of these a day. Knowing they are there causes me such anxiety. It's like being assaulted again. Getting these unwanted sexual emails is like some one sexually assaulting me EVERY TIME I get one.
I've tried deleting them as soon as I get them, but I can't really keep up. I've tried letting my email go. Just ignore it. As if it would magically go away. When I hit 450, my server sent me menacing warnings.
I don't exactly know why this is happening. My husband got a warning from our server a few months back stating there was a problem with spam. But his account didn't seem to be hit as hard as mine. Or maybe he just doesn't care. Not sure.
Does seeing advertisements, television shows or movies about sex or r*pe terrify anyone else? Do they cause you flashbacks? Does it keep you up at night because you are afraid to dream? I can't be alone in this. I don't want to be alone in this. Can anyone tell me how they get through those awkward moments in movies? What do you do when an assault happens in a show you are watching? Do you have a problem getting sexual spam and what do you do about it?
Thank you for reading.

I get really troubled when I hear anything about sex. It doesn't matter what it is: sex in the bible, sex in a movie, rape shows, romance novels, the gratuitous speeches and sermons I hear at school about how you'd better not have premarital sex, but my only purpose in my life is to get married and have LOTS of kids and never ever say no to my husband, not about sex anyway. Sometimes it's something as simple as hearing the word "whore" or somebody calling me a woman (which...you know, is valid since I am), or seeing or hearing a baby. To be honest, I can't handle it all that well. I find it's best to either excuse myself to the bathroom for a few minutes to get back some composure, fast forward if possible, put it on mute, or just close my eyes. I also avoid romance novels and chick flicks because...well, I know it's in there.
I react much the same when seeing sexual contact in movies or television and hearing certain words also give e flashbacks.i used to watch Law and Order SVU, because the actors and the way they played their parts comforted me. I felt like they would help me if I went to them. That may sound strange. I also liked seeing the bad guys get caught. The men who hurt me are still on the street. I moved three hundred miles away from them, but I still visit my family in the area. I'm there right now. I thought I saw one the other day, but I ducked down then never saw him again. But I couldn't take the show anymore. It got under my skin and I stopped. Now I'm so sensitive to everything.
Thank you for talking to me. It is helpful to know I'm not alone.
