As a victim who experienced hyper-sexuality as a consequence of not feeling like my body belonged to me anymore, this thread is so important. When I was first raped it was many years ago and the rape culture was horrific. https://twitter.com/thespeakupspace/status/1313877569096347649

It was before the me too movement or before I as a child had the language to communicate what had happened to me. This thread is important & hypersexuality following rape should be discussed further, I felt that bc I didn’t feel sexual repulsion I was somehow wrong or corrupt

I’m so happy that the open discussion of rape is more accepted now, when I was younger I couldn’t tell anyone without being accused of being too drunk or wearing a skirt or some bullshit

It’s still a huge issue but I know coming out as a victim in 2020 has been easier than when I attempted to in 2013
