Can a guy that been rape as a kid can still have a girlfriend?

[lightbulb27]

yes. Lots of people who've been abused have relationships. Very important to heal from this as much as possible and choose mate consciously who is supportive. I know of a woman (friend of whom I was dating) who was sexually abused by her father. She was married. I saw her rage come out and it was frightful to see, can only imagin what she went through. Her husband left before I met her. the more emotionally healthy you, the better. sometimes that learning is gained within relationships...

[SkipPerk]

Yes. I am a survivor, and I got lots of girls in high school and college. If anything, often male sexual violence survivors are often hypersexuized, and get more women.

my greatest issue was homophobia. It did not help that creepy gay men kept trying to pick me up from age 12 through my teens (basically until I looked like a man).

[Agape93]

Of course he can. Being a rape survivor doesn't stop one from having healthy relationships in the future. It can be harder but not impossible

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Of course.
Anyone with traumas can have relationships, but it’s important that you get the help you need if you are struggling.

[NamerOfStars]

I'd certainly hope so. It'd probably take some extra effort to push through the mental issues that may pop up from time to time, but anyone who'd reject you for being a rape victim is a scumbag, regardless of their gender.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yep girlfriend, married, kids.

main thing is they receive counselling for their mental health issues.

[TonyV]

Yes rape victims can still live a normal life, I'm sure you've got your own struggles and triggers but just like a female rape victim you just got to find an understanding and patient partner.

[SkipPerk]

No, male rape is quite different. It requires a different approach.

[TonyV]

How's it different? Are you saying it's worse?

[Avicenna]

I would hope so

[Dargil]

Of course he can.

[Drumlin2001]

Yeah. Plenty of rape victims go on to have relationships

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't see why not! How could that stop you? I was molested twice as a teen and I still had 3 girlfriend's and 2 potentials.

[Twalli]

Yes, everyone has baggage

[In_Trance]

Better if he fixes himself first

[Zolly99999]

Yes... It may take some counseling but people can get over it if they have the willpower and want too.

[Anonymous]

yup.

If a guy was raped as a kid he should of enjoyed being raped by a hot woman, boys can't be sexually harassed since men usually want to have sex.

[Anonymous]

Probably not.

[Anonymous]

Who raped him?

[Anonymous]

Yeah if he is over it
