I did not have sex until I was 20, with a steady partner. My first memory of sexual abuse is roughly around age 8. My coping methods included extremely loose, layered clothing, binding my chest, anything to detract from my appearance.
My sister was not abused, I made sure the attention was directed my way, and she never knew about it until we were both mid-20s. She was very promiscuous, starting at 13, first threesome at 14 and I lost track of the number of her partners by 15. She doesn’t regret most of it, but while it may have been an indicator for someone else, it wasn’t for her.
I’m so sorry that someone did that to you. Kudos to you for trying to protect your sister.
