I Am Struggling With My Sexuality

I was sexually abused when I was 8 years old by my mother's brother. It went on from 8-10 whenever he visited my family. I never told my parents thinking that they won't believe me.
My child sexual abuse has made me afraid of sex and men.
I feel urges down there but I am afraid to touch myself because of my fear.
I am torn between my urges and my fear.
Sometimes it's so hard to cope up.

I was 4 years old when my uncle started, lasted until I was 10 or 11 every time he came to visit. (then my sister's husband took over when I was 13)

So I can certainly relate. I didn't tell a single soul about the uncle until I was 28 and then went to therapy for a few years. It helped a lot. It's something you should consider doing for yourself.

@SW-User He's taken enough from you, don't let him take a healthy future away from you as well. You are still young, don't wait as long as I did.
