Those of you who are gay/lesbian/bisexual etc?
were you sexually abused as a child?
I ask because I am seeking answers for myself personally, to clarify things in my head, not for any type of judgmental or stereotypical reasons. I would jsut like to know if theres a link between the two or not. Thank you.
This is great! ROFL!!! This is absolutely awesome!
I just always thought maybe I was gay because of the abuse I had been through as a child because thats what I heard people say. Then I read a few articles and found out that there actually were people who were not gay that had been through traumatic times, omgosh this is jsut a HUGE eye opener for me! I am 25, have 3 children and have been hiding my sexuality for years... BECAUSE I always thought it had something to do with being raped for so many years. This is just amazing. Thank you so much everyone. God Bless.

No, thankfully, I wasn't. I did however get into porn at what I now realize was a very early age, though most of it was like late night HBO porn, because we didn't have internet at the time, so I never saw anything I would consider even to be traumatic. I didn't start realizing what I was actually into until I was about 12 and very computer savvy. No sexual abuse however :-\

yes i was
@ age 8 by my cousin who was the same age as me
@ age 9 10 11 by someone the same age as me also but he was very forceful
@ age 10 by an adult
What the hell! When I was a kid I had blond hair so maybe I was attracting all these people to me i just don't know why.
I did turn out gay but a lot had to do with people calling me queer all the time...I think?

i'm bi, but i feel i have a slight preference for girls, and yes, i will admit i was sexually abused as a child. how much it's shaped my sexuality, i can't say. when i was a kid, i acted out very sexually, with other children and even adults. it was very inappropriate behaivor for a child to have, but i learned it wasn't uncommon for victims of sexual abuse to do. you have to understand, i was exposed to sexuality very, very young (age 4) before i was mentally developed to understand it.that being said i know those who we're abused are straight, and i don't think i am bi because i was molested. i can understand the difference between consensual attraction and sex, from the unconsensual sex that was forced on me as a child.

No. I don't think I've ever been sexually molested that I remember... but a lot of people have suggested I might have been because of some of my other issues (not to do with being queer (: )
My mother was sexually molested though and she is straight as an arrow.
(:
xox.

Not at all... but I did experiment sexual things at a young age with my neighboor, but I don't regret any of it.
