I have. And I think folks should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed for sharing their experiences.

    Whenever I share, it goes poorly and I only end up triggering myself. I now only share with people in my inner circle and only if it’s relevant to something. Talking about it is really hard and if it goes poorly, it can retraumatize. Women have to defend immediately, ala “well what were you wearing?” Bitch I was 4. I don’t blame people for not talking about it more openly.

    No I haven’t, and I don’t know anyone who has been either. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, and I agree that people should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed - I wish more people agreed about that.

    Yes, this chick I went on a Tinder date did. I showed up to pick her up, then she’s like “how about we stay in”, so I said “ok sure”. She already had stuff cooking so obviously she planned on not going to dinner or anything. Anyways we had dinner, it was ok. Her profile picture was obviously older (shocker), but not catfish levels or anything, she still was cute/ok. Anyways we had a couple drinks, and she ruffied one or both of them. All I remember is getting super tired, then flashes of her riding me on the couch.

    It’s absolutely disgusting movies treat guys getting SAed as a joke but it’s treated as serious for women. I think there’s a movie, 40 days and 40 nights where the dude is literally tired to a bed and a girl basically raped him and it’s treated as a comedy scene.

    My father forced me to masturbate to child porn by pretending to be a girl at my school on AIM. I would get scared and freaked out, stop responding to the account, then he would call me and demand that I keep talking to this “girl” because he was bothering him at work. Very graphic, explicit highly illegal shit. He also encouraged me to share his sex toys. Once he made me jerk him off.

    Later he planted CSAM on my stepfathers laptop and got him fired from his job, arrested, years long court case attempting to prove his innocence before they finally dropped the case when we found time stamped photos proving my step dad was not at home. The FBI dropped the case right before trial.

    Nothing happened to my Dad. He died a decade later still a PoS. There was a funeral, but I didn’t tell any of his friends. He didn’t deserve mourning. This all happened when I was between 12 and 20. The last time I talked to him before he passed, when I was 30ish. My girlfriend at the time left the room, and apropos of nothing he asked what kind of porn I liked and suggested ways to hide it from her.

    A friend’s ex (not ex at the time) apparently sucked my dick when I was blackout drunk. She “confessed” to him, but told him I initiated, and that fucked up the friendship for a while until he confronted me about it and I set things straight. I’m pretty sure he believed me, she had a bunch of other behavioral problems and she’d cheated before, but things are still weird. At least they’re not together anymore.

    Yup i was a work at a apartment building when a guest was staying at an apartment they waylayed me in the stairwell i froze as they kissed me and forced themselves on me only thing running through my mind was just go with it if they say i was the one who assaulted them instead i could lose my job or in trouble legally since it would be my word against there word. Luckly before we got to sex i was able to convice them i would come back another time i can’t do it now and i made sure to never see them around again and avoided them while they were around.

        And the wild part? I didn’t even think of it as assault, but when i recently (maybe a year or two ago) reframed as “the inebriated cannot consent” I’d have to say, that definitely happened twice. I blamed myself for being drunk both times. Neither time has ever sit well with me, even before I reframed it.

        And in both cases, the other, I feel weird even saying assailant, was stone sober.

    Id say that me being mutilated by circumcisiom as a baby is the closest Ive come to this happening to me.

    The law doesmt see it as SA . But I do. ALL humans are entitled to an intact body, no?

    Funny thing is I got ‘circumcised’ for religoois reasons… but Ive been an atheist my whole life…so…what do I do now?..

    Im so sorry for the pain you had to silently carry for years

    But something Ill add is The thing I find fucked up is that we have stories like yours happening agaim and again and again and they keep on and keep on and keep om happenimg …and yet…humanity hasnt dont a darned thing to permanently change this.

    We will have stories just like yours here once again in 20 years whehn someone askes this same question to the next generation sadly…

    Itll never end until humanity ensures that it ends.

    Sorry once again 🫂

    I’ve had my full dick and balls groped by an older (like 50’s) lady at one of my jobs (I was maybe 20-21). Brought it up to management and was told “What!? No way! She’s just a sweet old lady, she would never do anything like that!”

    Meanwhile she not only grabbed my whole ass genitalia, she whispered “I’d love to see all this up close” while doing so.

    No one ever believed me and it happened multiple times hence why I no longer work there…

      I can totally believe that. I spent most of my teenage years playing bass in my dads band, the band played mostly in pubs, bars and restaurants, audience was usually +40 years of age. It was quite a surprise for me how aggressive a middle aged drunk woman can be. I got touched so much for years, until I learned to run off stage and dive into the van or back stage room, which ever was the closest.

      I hear this so often from young men (or men who were at one point young men). It’s absolutely disgusting and should be spoken about more. Even if they do believe the men, they’ll say they’re somehow “lucky” to have gotten a woman’s attention.

      I’m so sorry it happened to you.

    I have been coerced before, by my ex wife.

    Long story made short, if she wanted sex and I didn’t, and I said no, it would always pan out the same way. We’d start at “Did I do something wrong?” And end up at “everyone hates me and I should just go ahead and kill myself.” So I stopped saying no even if I didn’t want to, because honestly it was faster to just give her what she wanted.

    As a man, it feels so minor compared to what everyone else will associate with sexual abuse, but my therapist tells me abuse is abuse and that nobody would question it if the genders were reversed.

    It’s had effects even 5 years after we’ve separated, but I’m getting better. Learning to take up space again.

      It’s not minor at all. She sounds really manipulative and in desperate need of professional help. I hope she gets it before she hurts more people.

        We were young and both had our issues, and we’re both better off separated.

        I’ve found a new relationship (when you find the right person, you understand why it didn’t work with anyone else) and I’m in a much better place overall.

        She’s now a he (FtM trans) and is much more stable as a result. He’s a teacher at a school in a city 4.5 hours away from me, and has remarried.

        I consider myself an LGTBQ+ ally, and I fully support my ex’s right to transition and be recognized as his preferred gender. And I can still say that my ex wife was a manipulative piece of work who left scars on me, so I just don’t want anything at all to do with him, even if he’s better.

        He deserves happiness, but he can be happy over there, 4.5 hours away.

    Yes.

    As a young teen by a stranger. He knew my routine and when I would be alone walking and would intercept me.

    A couple of times more recently…I don’t know if it would really qualify as assault because they were pretty minor incidents but it was by women I met on a dating app.

      Sorry for your pain 🫂

      Also you need to know that there is no such thing as 'minor SA incident.

      You are a human. You have boundaries and limits just like all other humams. NOBODY haa any right to violate your boundaries. All competent adults who knowlingly violate another human’s boundaries deserve the same punishment.

      They all have equal trauma as far as Im concerned. I havemt read a study that denies these conclusions so as far as Im concerned? Im correct.
