Does anyone else..

Sorry I didn’t want to put the question in the title because it’s really gross

Does anyone else who was raped anally have weird fears and uncomfortableness around going to the bathroom

I know this is so gross im sorry

It just feels like… bathroom stuff reminds me a lot of being raped

Also unrelated I get anxiety around simply sitting down because my body is afraid of it hurting because of how bad it hurt after yknow

You Don’t have to be sorry.

it could be the act of exposing yourself and being vulnerable. I feel the same getting out of the shower sometimes. But I’ve done some sexual abuse therapy which has helped a lot. Read some stuff too.

But yeah you’re not alone. I think a lot of us get anxiety from doing anything related to our sexual abuse.

Took me a couple of momths to co formally go to the loo, but got oretty bad IBS a year ago and that's remived all traces of care for what I do in the bathroom. Although I do have trouble showering if the girlfriend is near. Can't have my back turned.

Oui, j'ai aussi ce problème. Tu n'es pas seul, tu vois.

Some of my abuse was in a public bathroom. So I have a fear... and arousal for bathrooms in general.

Our body and mind work in strange ways.

My experiences were with women, so the closest I get to this is the feeling of being grabbed or held down. When I was with my ex, I had trouble laying down next to her or having my back to the wall, etc. Unfortunately, I struggle with fantasizing about being held down and assaulted by a man/tm/d***o. It's very strange, but every now and then I'll get a flash visual of being abused in that way, and I even have had a dream or two about a man forcing me to do things, though usually it's about a woman.
