whenever i watch a movie or hear something about someone being sexual molested, i get very uneasy. does this mean that i was in a similar sitaution when i was younger and cannot remember it? why do these things bother me so much?

Your reaction(s) is/are a natural one if you are a human being. I wouldn't go searching your mind for a memory that isn't there. That can be more harmful, dangerous, and damaging. There is a book in circulation, name unknown, that gave a whole bunch of symptoms that said/showed if you were a victim of being molested. As a result, many innocent men and women where convicted and jailed for a crime that they didn't commit based on a false memory.
I also get disturbing thoughts whenever I see a show that deals with molestation. I believe that it is human nature to abhor such despicable acts by monsters in our society. Just don't read into it any more than it is.

No, it just angers you because you know how horrible it is....maybe something happened, but don't try to remember it...there is a reason you can't..dont' let your mind get carried away, because you wouldn't want to suspect or accuse anyone falsely...if you can't remember it, probably it didn't happen..but in the meantime...maybe you could get involved with a group who protects kids, and do something valuable with your time...You sound like a very caring person

Well, if you are squeamish to blood, then you are definitely squeamish to molestation. This is almost a rule (there are some exceptions).
But there is a fear that is genetic in females: a fear of rape or assault. It is genetic, so you can't do much about it.
It is also possible but very unlikely that you were in a similar situation when you were younger. Some young children in my studies were raped by the parents before they could talk or walk and have a slightly foreboding fear of what they cannot understand.
Sorry if I alarmed you in any way.

I'm certain I was never molested and this bothers me greatly as well. Even more since my daughter was born. I think your reaction is natural and demonstrates good morals.

Chances are no.....these types of things are normal to be uneasy about, it just represents good morals and a sensitive person.....they are very disturbing to most people......HOPEFULLY!!! If they bother you that much, I would try to avoid watching them.....

i think people who are not disturbed by these thoughts are just a bit suspect.but the thoughts that youre talking about are probably too deep for something not to have happened.try talking to your parents or relatives about it.
