I recently read a book called The Trauma Myth and much like this AMA, the author had to continuously made disclaimers about how molestation and rape is always bad, even though her thesis was that for most children, the molestation isn't traumatic until much later, when they realize what was actually done. They are more or less just confused, and yes, may even get some kind of physical pleasure from it.
I don't have a question, but I just want to thank you for this AMA. So many victims feel so much shame, and I'm sure most people don't understand this. So thank you for spreading awareness.
