    Hi! I am a young guy! Thanks in advance for replies! I am total lost in life.
    When I was aged between the ages of 12 and 14 and a half my older brother sexually abused me! After this I started to notice that I was attracted to guys and I hated it. I still do I can't acept myself.I know what he did to me was wrong and it total messed me up. When I was younger I brushed it off and pretended everything was ok. He is now trying to buy my love by expensive gifts and I accept them but they make me feel bad when I do. I also have a fear of being touvhed. When ever anybody touched me. It bring backs memories of what happened to me. I also eat alot because it makes me feel happy and safe because I know if I am fat people won't find me attractive and try nothing on with me!
    Any advice?

    Op, I am so sorry to hear about your problems :(
    I understand that you came here looking for advice :) but I really think you should talk to someone professionally.

    Getting abused is a very serious thing. Not to mention you sound to be comfort eating out of the fact if you feel you are "fat" people wont be attracted to you. Those are deep issues that I dont think a member of boards.ie can fully advise you on :)

    The last thing you would want is untrained advice to handle such a serious matter :)

    As per the many, many thread you have started in the PI forum
    Contact the rape crises network or 1 in 4 and get professional help.
    While sexual imprinting can happen when a person is young, being sexually abusing by a man does not mean you turn out to be a homosexual.
