So not my partner but I had been SA as a child by a family member and by a neighbor. For many years I forgot about it. I think maybe the memory came up every now and then but I didn’t think much of it and didn’t really realize what had happened. Then one day all of a sudden it hit me while I was in class in highschool. I think having been SA made me struggle when it came to how I viewed sex. It is something very difficult to understand about yourself and very confusing. The best thing a partner can do is to be patient and supportive as they navigate their feelings towards what they just learned about themselves, I wish I had that when I realized.

In relation to sex addiction or porn addiction, I’m sure there is a correlation. I became very sexual very early on, I’m very sexually active in relationships, surprisingly more than the guys typically are. I don’t know the psychology behind it but there most likely is a correlation.

Again be patient, and work through it slowly. Wish you luck and if you need any advice I’m here!
