sexual abuse and bipolar

[teetazsteeler]

my question is i tend to have to touch myself sometimes alot. i dont know if its just my past abuse or the bipolar doing it. my sex life is great.

From what I've seen, women that were sexually abused go different routs. Some are promiscuous, some are reserved, some get over it, some dont.. Some blame themselves, some get angry, some need help, some are suicidal....There are ALL SORTS of reprocussions to sexual abuse.
I was sexually abused as a little girl... Although it did seem wrong to me, I went with it, kept it a secret, and lived my life. It may have played a part in being sexually active, but I got over it. I dont need help, I'm not screwed up, nor do I blame myself. Things happen in life, and thats how I see it.
With you, it may be different... It's something that you need to figure out on your own, or have a counselor help you.
Appart from all that, If you like touching yourself, then so be it. There's nothing wrong with it, everyone does it, or has done it, or will do it. :-) If YOU think there is something not right about it, or if YOU think that its caused by something other than just touching yourself, then maybe you should see a professional about it. It's all personal preferance. :-)

yes, jenni is right and she was able to say SO much in such a short paragraph. me? i would have dragged it all out and then some. if touching yourself feels right to you then it doesnt matter how much. its what feels good. there is NO too much.
just to joke a bit, sometimes i say im more in love with myself than my husband..hee hee...you know what i mean. not to mention we know ourselves best. you're fine.

ROFLMAO---you're funny

I don't see what is so funny about the post here. This may not have been the exact place to post her ? but i think it was something alot of women deal with daily. Being a former victom of child abuse and a rape 2 yrs ago, i know all to well how it affects people differently.

[oceans3]

yes, this is the EXACT place to post here and just have others have stated..it affects everyone differently.
i think maryheather was responding to the part about me pleasing myself (much more so than my husband). i know what i like and i please myself accordingly. sometimes its a lot easier and faster to do just that. the origional poster seemed to be concerned that she pleased herself too much...NO.
maryheather was not responding to anything else but that. she has waaay more tact and sensitivity than to assume otherwise. thats all she was responding to, not the abuse. i can guarentee that.

[maryheather]

Did you notice that I directed this particular box to you?  
That's what I did in the above post.  
FYI...psychological disorders are something that I would never joke about.  My dad is bipolar, as I stated in another post about this issue.  
I happen to know Oceans3's writing style, and know that she was poking (pardon the slang) fun at herself.  I would never make fun of a serious situation.  
Please don't insult me by assuming that I would ever say something derrogatory to anyone with an issue or problem.

MH wasn't laughing at the poster or her question. As you can plainly see, she directed her laughter at oceans 3 who obviously was BEING funny so it was more than appropriate to laugh.
Geeze, lighten up already..

I don't think that is an indicator of sexual abuse. In my case, I do the same thing and it happens for various reasons. First of , how can one not touch themselves if it is on them!!! I find myself very attractive and so do a lot of people I know. I have also been blessed with large breasts. This is a real turn on!! No I am not attracted to women, but I do find my own body attractive.
