I need someone to talk to

I can't tell people about it, and I can't write about it anywhere else, so I decided to write about it here.


My mother has a boyfriend. She has had a number of boyfriends in the past in a short period of time, and then they broke up.

When I was about eight years old, I remember hearing my mother having intercourse with her boyfriend, and it made me very anxious. From then on, I couldn't stop masturbating when I felt anxious. At the time, I didn't even know that it had a sexual meaning. I think I'm crazy.

My current girlfriend's boyfriend always comes to my house on weekends. My room and theirs are next to each other, so at night I hear their sexual voices and noises, and it kills me.

I am afraid of men. I don't know if it is this home environment that is causing this, but my therapist told me that what you received from your parents is also sexual abuse.

I blame myself when I imagine myself being sexual or when my sexual desire increases. I feel very uncomfortable.

It sounds like in a way you were traumatized by hearing things at such a young age. Have you asked your girlfriend's boyfriend and her to be quieter or not do it while you are home? Sometimes the best way to get around something is to not set triggers off. It may take a while until you feel comfortable around men again, but that is where the therapist comes into play. They are there to help you. They will be able to help you find those triggers and address them so that you can go through life without feeling triggered all the time.
