Sexual abuse effects or homosexuality??

January 13th 2007 01:28
I often read or hear about the after effects of sexual abuse. Its a sensitive issue and with good reaon.
I have known survivors to realise in their adulthood that they are indeed gay or bisexual. After much discussion with my friends, it is hard to know whether these people are experiencing the after effects or not.

I recall doing a study in psychology at university about the number of lesbian women in their adulthood being emotionally or physically abandoned by their mothers are children.

I think it may be a real possibility in rare cases, I dont think homosexuality is a malfunction at all. Nor do I think its a choice.


What do you thnk??????

you must be one of them, to be reading something you find so shallow.

Just that these days people seem to have too much time to dwell in their own feelings of letdown. Basically self-induced victim hood.

Well the people you are talking about in this post, I mean give me a bit of leeway here, that is the post topic here hence any statement I make is directly related to the content (for the time being).

childhood abuse has some effect, i believe. it always stays with u..so it does affect ur life and way of thinking.

i have had this experience. i suffered abuse as a child (sexual) and have had to work through interesting ideas and experiences with sex as an adult. the first five years of a childs life are the most important with any kind of fundamentalism, so my sex life has needed work. i have often wondered if i was gay, but then after much reading, have discovered it is very normal and common for survivors of sexual abuse to fantasise about things that arent of interest to them, hard to explain i guess. it will be a life long battle for me.
