    I’m so thankful it’s finally coming out how many boys were sexually abused! It’s mind boggling how long it’s been covered up!
    Thank you for speaking out about this trauma!

    Abused by my aunt in my teens. In recovery. The pain and the nightmare seem to diminish as I keep talking to trusted friends and therapist.

    As the man (Gen 1:26-28) KJV, a husband (Gen 2:21-25) and a father (Gen 3:16), the minister of God (Rom 13), teacher (Eph 4) and one of the survivors who was bullied in school, I am so sorry this happened to you. If I could have protected you from being harmed by "it", I would have, but I can not be everywhere all at once. (1 John 4)

    Men do not have an outlet to talk about the pain and grief related to sexual abuse. We are often shamed, blamed, and labeled as “weak”. It is an injustice is the highest order. Happened to me when I was 16. I was a child and it wasn’t my fault.

      No it was not your fault. You were a child.

    I was sexually abused by my cousin who was a year older than me I believe I was 4 or 5 . I’m just now at 27 realizing I have signs of ptsd. I just got health insurance and am going to seek help.

    I never told anyone as a kid because I thought one of two things would happen, they wouldn’t believe me or they would shame and make fun of me because I was a boy and my abuser was a woman, and so I MUST have wanted it. I didn’t. I hated it and I hated myself for years because I thought I caused it.

      Just keep talking to your therapist or trusted friends about it. The pain will eventually diminish.

      No one DESERVES to have their innocence STOLEN Jacques ..
      When someone in a position of power and authority, with way more experience than you abuses that authority and your trust .. that's not your fault.
      I knew my babysitter was lying when he told me he wanted to "show me what love is" but there was just no way I could be prepared for the intensity of those feelings at age 7.
      Even if you liked it, they shouldn't have done it, and if you feel violated then they were wrong. I'm sorry you were put in that position.

    What’s crazy is when I finally disclosed to my grandma about what happened years ago it was so hard to talk about I was laughing, stalling, and breathing like I was having a panic attack. I don’t remember it visually cause it was dark and I was given something to go to sleep. This was done by a trusted highly respected person in the church a choosen 144,000 individual now I understand the interest he took in me as grooming me.

    So 😥. Didn't realize that this type behavior happened to so MANY innocent children, both males and females.
    Glad men are also speaking up, now.
    Makes me wonder if someone had protected these innocent children with their initial molestation if they wouldn't have experienced depression, a lack of trust, thinking that now they must become gay, become introverted or just become afraid of MOST people.
    A beautiful blonde lady that I knew said that about 10 male coworkers ran a train on her after work. (She said that they used a broomstick on her also.) She was afraid to tell anyone. So she cut off and dyed her long blonde hair and dressed in male-type clothing to hide her beauty. Later she pretended to like other women to push ALL men away. Seemed to work but she was lonely, so she sought out other small-scale timid women that couldn't control her to fulfill her personal interaction needs. She said that she tried to be gay BUT this really wasn't working for her. Thus, she started doing drugs and drinking heavily. Lost touch with her story for a long time. Saw someone who knew her who told me that she moved to another area and later killed herself. So sad because abusers DON'T realize the emotional and psychological trauma that they impose on innocent people to relieve their inability to find appropriate sexual partners. How very, very sad. 😥
