Signs of sexual abuse in adults, when they were a child?!


Question: I am looking for signs of sexual abuse in somebody who now is 22 years old....and maybe was sexualy abused as a child (And was never told)...What are the signs of that in their future relationships?

Like are they nervous to have sex or scared to say no to their parner? I mean I'm just guessing here, but what are some signs that a child was sexualy abused and never told...how do they handle that as an adult?

(A child any age to the point they were to young to really remember as an adult)

really you need to ask the Dr.

Child sexual abuse may result in physical injury and both short and long term emotional and psychological harm, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, propensity to re-victimization in adulthood, and other symptoms.

Other than a torn hymen, these injuries may have healed by now, so the only signs left will be psychological disorders from mild to severe.

Telling child sexual abuse from psychological disorders is tricky as it is possible to have symptoms consistent with sexual abuse but not have been abused at all.

For example someone could have not been abused and still feel scared to have sex, because there are many other factors which can influence adult sexual behavior outside of sexual abuse.

It is also possible that non sexual abuse e.g. being beaten, yelled at etc. can have effects on your sexuality as these things influenced your feeling of self confidence and security.

I posted a link below with more info.

They tend to talk about SEX allot I have been around abused people as adults.

The tend to be overly sexual.

And tend to talk about it openly.

They also tend to have narrow mindedness about certain things,

But most cover it up very well by being overly Helpful to others and also being very "Know it alls"
that's the only negativeness to them.
