I was talking to someone recently who expressed that after she had been sexually assaulted, she strayed away from sex, becoming more asexual. I found that after my stretch of sexual trauma I went into sex hyperdrive/overload.
If you are comfortable, how did you respond? Did you turn your back to sex or did you swing to the opposite spectrum of too much unhealthy sex?
If you have not experienced this or do not wish to share, do you know someone who reacted extremely after a sexual trauma?
Previous to me being on the part of life’s journey that I am now on I used to attribute sexuality to negativity. Now I’m learning that sexuality is very normal and can be enjoyable with the right person. Now I’m in somewhat of waiting for said right person but, I express myself in poetry, writing, journaling, yoga, and meditation. I know that now sex is a very normal, natural, beautiful thing. When having sex I don’t need to USE it. Not to heal, cover, or subdue my pain.
