"Bu-But you can't talk against something you write about-"
Sorry I'm not your perfect rape victim stereotype. There's different varieties of ways of coping with an assault and everyone's feeling are different because we're all individuals and we all use different forms of therapy.
Some "self-care" methods are actually very toxic and dangerous like hypersexuality after assault which is something we rarely even speak up as a trauma response.
And before some "antishitter" talks I'm both a victim and former professional on the subject which is why I know more about different coping mechanisms and how it affects different people individually.
We're not cookie cutter for your assumptions of how victims should be.
Just like I've said that I'm not here to fit the Perfect Invalid Stereotype, I'm also not going to be The Perfect Victim Stereotype.
Strangely the ones that harass me, were stereotyping me based on very limited knowledge of the experience.
Also not all victims are sex repulsed. They can be repulsed at having it done to them without consent or like me.
I loath being touched by strangers without consent. I actually have physically violent reflexes when it happens which has gotten me trouble. So that's another stereotype down.
And I can write whatever I want including the horrors of sex. Because there's two sides of each coin. And there's indeed many horrors and emotions attached to this. It's not always emptiness and pleasure. It's sometimes pain in every sense from emotional to physical.
Sex can be beautiful and disgustingly ugly and that's what can make it horrifying. (To some it can even be seen as completely lackluster and uninteresting, especially regarding the physicality of it. Which is also another valid response)
This duality can affect anyone from the sex repulsed to the sex positive.
Now I sound like I'm gonna start quoting the Hellbound Heart (which is a favorite by the way)
