"One of the most frightening experiences for a victim, especially a child, is to have an orgasm during sexual abuse. The child does not know what this feeling is or why it has taken over her body. the child only knows that her body has betrayed her, that somehow her body is giving consent and approval to the unspeakable acts being committed by her abuser. She has lost control of her body and she has even lost control of the anger and hatred she used to provide an illusion of protection. Does this mean you liked your abuse? The answer is NO. An orgasm is an involuntary reflex; it is a reaction of your body over which you have no control. Male or female, if anyone rubs you in the right way in the right place, you will have an orgasm whether you want to or not. And it does not have to be a person--that's why some people use vibrators. So your abuser rubbed you in a way that elicited an orgasm. Does that mean that you are bad or participated in the abuse or that you have made an irrevocable choice about sex of your future partners? NO, it merely means that your body was functioning in one of the ways it was designed to respond." |
