It most definitely does.Some victims become very much against sex while others end up being promiscuous. Not to mention it can cause a lot of trust issues. Also can result in depression and a long list of other mental health issues. No matter what you have to remember that it is not your fault. You have to realize this has happened to other people and that you should not feel shame. If the abuser has not been reported they really need to be so that they do not continue to abuse (and they will!!!). If you are having emotional problems or for whatever reason unsure of how to cope with this seek help from a professional. Do not let this keep you from living your life to the fullest.

YES----this can be a struggle with alot in life as you get older.
Take me for example---when i first started datign my fiance i felt unconfortabel when he touched me, even when we just hugged, i wasn't confortable being close to a man. I had this fear he was going to hurt me. Even though in my heart I knew he wouldn't.. does that make sense?
If you were sexually abused I suggest you get some counciling----regardless on weather others say it helped them. Also don't jsut go a few times and say this isn't helping and quit----its a process it takes time. If you still can turn the person in that abused you---if you havn't already----this is something i regret to this day---since I never told till i was an adult.
Just remember it doesn't have to control you---but there will always be memories of it--and that you can learn to deal with---
btw---me and my fiance are great now---I have learned slowly that he will never hurt me and we are getting married next july!
take care and hope this helped----
also if ya need someone to talk to my email is arat7319@yahoo.com----

yes, it does...and it effects people in different ways...I personally am a child sexual abuse survivor...I was withdrawn as a child and teenager...I had a couple hospital stays because of depression...when I was 18, the person who I thought protected me died...by that time the abuse had stopped, but my mind was broken...my spirit was vapor...I was sexually active, but I made lists or did something else in my head because that is what I had to learn to do in my youth...it got so bad that I stopped having sex for four years...the fourth year I met an older man...he was twenty years older than me...but he was still a youthful man...he showed me things about myself that I did not think were possible...I did not have my first orgasm until I was 30 years old...that's three kids later!...in the end, I realized I traded one jacked up mindset for another...now, I await my husband...he will be very happy with the gifts I plan to give him...but even now I must stay prayerful so as to not fall back into the mindset of abuse.

Being abused as a child can have long term affects. Be it verbal abuse or sexual abuse. Take it from one who knows.

it depends on the person and if they got help after the fact. i was sexually molested by my grandfather for years when i was younger and was raped by a so called friend when i was in high school and I've put it behind me now and it doesn't bother me. i also know some people who have been sexually abused and it bothers them till this day.

Yes,you don't ever forget it.But it does fade into the back of your mind as you get older.It's good to talk about it to a councillor because it helps to talk about it to someone who doesn't judge you.Who will listen and let you vent it out.

i have never been sexually abuse but someone in my family does and i felt that she didn't get to live out her life. she doesn't go out and has never been out. she suffers from depression mos of the time, is very protective. i can go on and on but i just wish they will give people who sexual molest children life sentences!

Yes, things like divorce, abortion... prevents a healthy lifestyle even if it was a family member. Your marked by friends and relatives for living in the same house.
'People ask: why did you even bother getting married?'or ''Why have sex if your going to abort it''
