I feel like I may never have a normal sex life. I've been sexually abused twice. Once when I was very small and once in high school. Any sexual act I do makes me feel dirty and contaminated. At the age of 21, I've never had actual intercourse, but I still feel like a slut or damaged goods. Any ways to cope?

I think I know how you feel. I was sexually abused for about three years when I was a child and have never been with anyone as an adult because I feel a little tainted. I cope with it by reminding myself that there is someone out there that I will be able to be comfrontable with one day and he won't care what happened to me as a kid. I write in my journal about my negitive thoughts and then put it away and try to avoid those negitive ideas about myself and try to focus on more possitive things about myself that I like.

A person really needs therapy to work through SA.
