Something that I often wonder about is the way child sexual abuse affected my sister and I so differently. My sister has had many sexual partners and I believe that she always sought love through sex. When a man wanted sex with her, it made her feel wanted.

I've always been uncomfortable with sex and felt ashamed when I took pleasure in it. I wonder if it could have been down to our differences in age as most of my abuse took place in my teens, while my sister's stopped when she was 8.
