sex and intimacy

I may not have been raped in the classic definition, but I feel like I've been emotionally assulted on many occasions. Ever since I was 17 (I had sex with pedophile), I have had numerous relationships with all sorts of guys, most of which I've allowed myself to be taken advantage of by them.

In anycase, it took me years to get my act somewhat straightened out and now I have a caring bf who's helping me through this problem. Two major things to look out for is to try and not let the cycle continue and to also realize that sex and intimacy shouldn't be two different things.

At some point, we'll all have to forgive ourselves for our guilty concious.

Anyways, my point - here's afew sites worth looking into:
