I think it’s different in how they work through it.

My uncle is always swinging back and forth.

He joined a church because ashamed.

Then realized he might be gay.

Then got into heavy coke and alcohol abuse

Swung back to sobriety and joined AA

Been sober ever since

Now he thinks he saw the wrong psychologist as a kid and never was gay.

He’s 63.

I don’t think it’s a clear line for ppl.

Women are similar. Some might be confused.

Some angry, ashamed. Some in denial. Some want to conquer their sexuality power and be aggressively dominate. Or some go asexual.

It’s like a pendulum swinging up and down and far away.


Oh god.



I have been thinking that one of my male friends actually been abused as kid, he did ask me one time about if he is gay or not? And that he didn’t know what’s really he prefer.



And he is religious too

I'm not sure about grown men, but I used to work with adolescent boys and little boys who had been sexually abused. Different boys handled it differently, but a preoccupation with sex and anger were the most common symptoms. One little boy was extremely passive. He ended up at our home because he set his mother's bed on fire.


God forbid he was an active!!! 🤦‍♀️
