Question: 2 questions!.!.!. child sexual abuse doesn't make you gay, right!?
and what is 'defined' as sexual abuse, exactly!. I mean being 'felt up' is that abuse, or does it have to be proper sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, child abuse doesn't necessarily make you gay, however, child abuse will certainly cause someone imense mental trauma causing them to act in ways they may not have been compelled to otherwise!.

Sexual abuse just corrupts a child's innocence, and unfortunately, teaches them about things way beyond their years!. It's very confusing despite a child's sexuality!.



According to MedicineNet!.com, "Sexual child abuse: Child abuse comprises four basic types of mistreatment: child neglect, physical abuse of a child, emotional abuse of a child, and sexual abuse of a child!.

Sexual abuse is the least frequently reported form of child abuse (6% of all cases)!. Experts believe that sexual abuse may be the most underreported type of child maltreatment because of the secrecy, the "conspiracy of silence" that so often surrounds these cases!.

Sexual abuse includes fondling a child's genitals, intercourse, incest, rape, sodomy, exhibitionism, and commercial exploitation through prostitution or the production of pornographic materials!."


Any inappropriate touching, even inappropriately touching an otherwise harmless body part (ie!. arm, foot) is WRONG!. Regardless whether the child said, "I don't like this" or "no", it's still illegal!. As a victim of sexual abuse, I would urge others not to be ashamed or guilty!. It's easy to fall into that mindset, but whether you spoke up, it's still wrong and not your fault!.

Definitely doesn't make you gay!. Even from the perspective of the adult, say a man and a boy, neither is necessarily gay; the man is considered a paedophile!.
Definition: "Contacts or interactions between a child and an adult when the child is being used for sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person when the perpetrator or another person is in a position of power or control over the victim!." To go all clinical, 'fondling a child's genitals' is definitely considered sexual abuse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!. Child sexual abuse does not make you gay!.

2!. Sexual Abuse is a fairly vast term, if someone has been 'felt up' in a way which makes them feel uncomfortable or by someone who is older than them (in the case of a child) that can be counted as molestation and thus, abuse!. If an adult were to feel up and adult (and the one being felt up does not immediately object) that ma be thought of more along the lines of sexual harassment!.

But Sexual Abuse DOES NOT just encompass rape!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sexual abuse is a sexual act that you would be forced into, a sexual act against your will, that makes you uncomfrotable, or any touching against your consent!. Being felt up would be considered sexual abuse if it was against your will!. It does not make you gay!. You are gay if you have interests in the same sex (homosexual)!. Example: You're a boy, and you like boys!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think being gay is a way of life not a choice so being sexually abused is terrible but I believe chances are the person would have been that way either way!. Yes being "felt up" is abuse by someone who is adult and you are a child it is disgusting and unforgivable!. I hope this isn't something that happened to you because if it did you should really talk to a counselor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course it doesnt, the person wasnt consenting!.Any guilt the victim has needs to be placed firmly at the feet of the abuser!.Some victims of severe abuse can have body sensations that act as a memroy of the abuse, which can confuse there sexual orientation - Even in this circumstance there is therapy avaliable to process these feelings!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

everyone who is sexually abused will obviously not become gay but i think that it has such a traumatic affect on some people that it could be possible!. people handle abuse in different ways!. some become angry and some become depressed some even become guilty (like they think it's their fault)!. some will become very promiscuious and others will be so repulsed by sex that they may never be able to have a "normal" intimate relationship with anyone!. some may over compensate by needing the affection (and sex) from the opposite sex and others may turn gay (or bi)!. who knows exactly how a person will react as everyone and every situation is different!.
as for being 'felt up' and unwanted sexual contact is a form of abuse!. hell even a few years back women were making a big deal in the workplace for men hitting on them and telling them inappropriate things!. that became know as sexual harrassment - a form of abuseWww@Answer-Health@Com

being felt up or even being touched in non apporiate places with out the persons concent is sexual abuse!.

child sexual abuse does probably make a person gay if the child is of the same sex!.!.!.!.!.but we dont c it like tht as there a bigger issue persent there--about abuseing a child sexually!. no cares if its a boy or a girl at this point!. Its a child we are talking about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not automatically, but they do say you are a sum total of your experiences, I was abused by a male and am gay, but then my father worked at sea and another speculation is absent fathers can be a factor!. I would not worry about your sexuality, but do report the abuse, you would hate to know that person went on to abuse others and you did nothing, even if it is hard to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
