I've been contemplating my miserable past 28 years of living with Rape-Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The fact of being tortured, sodomized, and beaten by two men at gunpoint is a harsh enough reality to endure. But they weren't the only perpetrators present. The fact of having a woman fondle and torture me with a hot curling iron in ways I prefer not to describe was just as bad if not worse. Does this make me question my manhood at times. I wouldn't speak about it if it didn't bother me. Yeah; it is humiliating to talk about it. But I need feedback from other men on this site who may have experienced similar experiences. If you are in anyway, shape, or form bothered about speaking frank about this; then this post is not for you. I would appreciate genuine input from other men who may have gone through experiences resemblance of my own.
