And -- remember <The Adjusted American>? -- makes those who do *not*
realize it see a paederast behind every bush.

: I am considering those boylovers who, like me, were sexually abused as
: kids. In my case, molestation is a kind way to put it. What it was,
: was sadism in a very real sense. Knowing me as well as you do, you
: will understand when I point out that my wn experiences have been a
: prime motivation to come out as a BL and work toward the safety and
: well being of boys.
Note that the linkage of the concept "child" with the concept "sex"
provokes such panic in Grownup minds that there is no separate word
for *sexual activity forced upon an unwilling child*: they consider
*all* sexual activity involving a child as "abuse" -- even activity
which involves *only* that child, all by (as they say) *itself*.
It appears, however, that the word "rape" fits quite well here, no?

And perhaps that forced on children by the occasional uncle as well?

: As you noted before, perhaps it is subjective and depends upon the
: boy. I know MANY boys (some who are now men) who clearly understood
: that what was happening to them was abuse. Many tried to stop it in
: the limited ways a ten year old has. If Mum and Dad are asleep at the
: wheel, the kid is essentially powerless agaisnt an agressive abuser. I
: liked it the first time. Subsequent experiences were more than
: unpleasant. My Mom, my Grandmother, aunts, Uncles, no one questioned
: my bruises, no one comforted my tears, no one lifted a finger about my
: complaints. Perhaps because I was too ashamed and unclear about what
: was done to my butt, because I didn't have the words for it at age 8
: or 9, I never mentioned that stuff to them. Maybe it was my fault for
: not telling. What does that say about me?
I suspect that it says that you realized, however dimly, that you could
be setting yourself up for a world of grief if you *did* tell.
"Unclear about what was done" is not the problem, as a simply detailing
of *what was done* would entirely suffice; and nor is the necessity of
breaking the taboos, learned at an early age, against talking about the
NastyFilthyDisgustingWeDoNotEvenMentionEver. Rather, I believe, it is
the necessity of telling that *what was done* was done more than once.
"You *let* him do the NastyFilthyDisgusting to you!" is quite likely to
be followed by "You little pervert!"; and if it is not, you will still
be Damaged Goods; and in any event, it would doubtless become a matter
of general knowledge among your agemates -- they of the famously tender
mercies -- within days.
And all of this assumes that your Grownups would believe what you said,
rather than your uncle's version (or denial) of the events; and if they
did not, you would *still* be considered Damaged Goods, for having come
up with such a NastyFilthyDisgusting pack of lies in the first place.
Perhaps, after all, better to suffer in silence.
