Oh man. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for the young you, and amazed by the wonderful woman you've become because of/in spite of what happened.

It's so sad to see this poll and see that so many people have been raped/sexually assaulted. Sex shouldn't be a weapon.

This is probably coming out all wrong--I have a tendency to do that lately--but I want you to know that I think it's important that you've put this out there for those of us who have been lucky (and it's been ALL luck) enough not to have had to be forced into sexual acts we didn't want to realize that it's even more prevalent than anyone thinks.
