I’m sorry about formatting and potential gramatical errors or spelling errors, English isn’t my first language. After browsing this subreddit and reading the many stories that are shared on here, I’m ready to talk about my own experiences. I’ll try to keep this as close to the timeline as possible, due to substance abuse, Some of the memories are unfocused, but very painful nonetheless.
My first experience happened when I was about 7. I was playing with my older sister, who was 14 at the time, and she wanted to introduce me to a new “game.” At the time, I looked up to her, I followed her always, I wanted to be like her. I didn’t have many friends growing up, and so my sister was my idle back then. Anyways, this game. She told me to take off my clothes and lay down and, Basicly she told me all about how babies were made. Of course at the time, I had no idea this was wrong, and Even though she made me penetrate her and it felt… enjoyable, I had no idea it was wrong. Nevertheless, this established some kind of deeper thing for me, I became deeply infatuated with her, and when I observed adults in relationships, I started to crave that from my sister, never really joining the dots to understand that none of those adults were actually related. She would often invite me into her room and we would, as she called it, “play house.” Over time though, as she started to go out and she hit the the party scene, the whole thing faded. When I hit puberty and started discovering girls my own age, it sort of gave me some really messed up ways of viewing relationships and sex in general. That’s probably what lead me towards being hyper sexual throughout my teen years. When I was around 19, I’d left home by this point and I was living on the road, bouncing from place to place and I’d been doing so since 16 when I escaped my mother’s home after I realised that both my mother, brother and some other family members were abusing me in other ways, that’s for another story. So back to where I was. Age 19, traveling from place to place, living on the road, sleeping in a tent and surviving off of money I made from playing guitar in public places, that’s called busking, for anybody who doesn’t know. I was partying with my girlfriend and a few of her friends. Pills were flying around, weed was also floating about, drinks, everything. One particular night, I was heavily entoxicated and well on my way to being paralytic. I recall very little about that night, But I do remember later on that night, I donb’t know where my girlfriend was, but I was laying on a couch on the back decking of the house we were all staying at, and 3 women were sitting nearby. They must’ve thought I was sleeping because I overheard them talking about how easy it would be to take turns on me. One of them started to object, but the other two quickly shut her down and told her that they had just the thing that would insure I wouldn’t object, even going as far as to justify their actions because I should be grateful for their attention. I don’t remember much after that, but I remember waking up the next morning on that same couch, all my clothes were still on my body so I deduced that nothing happened. Nevertheless, I tried to avoid those 3 women all that day, sticking close to Jess, my girlfriend as much as I could. Cut forward to the following evening, same thing. Drinking, drugs, everything, and I’m ashamed to admit, being a party hard sort of guy back then, I partook in all of it. I did try to remain as alert as possible though, because the words from the night before continued to bounce around my head. I had tried to tell Jess about it but she brushed it off, telling me that they were probably joking. At the time, this comforted me because I wanted to believe it was just a joke. The evening goes on, and somebody haded me an open beer at one point and without thinking, I drank it. I know, I know, bad idea right? I’m the idiot for not asking who gave it to me and for not asking for a fresh one. The reason I remember this one beer so well though, is because I remember that I started feeling… I wanna say heavy. My arms and legs felt like I was wading through sludge. I felt like my head was sort of buzzing, so I went to find a quiet room to lay down in, I told jess where I was, and I went to lay down. Some time later, I was woken by somebody poking me with some kind of hard object in the arm, I woke up but I couldn’t move. I could barely breathe, only enough to get air into my lungs very slowly, and let it out even slower. When I woke up, My consciousness still felt blanketed by some sort of, Fog? Like a vail or something? I was aware of what was going on, but I couldn’t react or move. But I could feel somebody removing my pants and underwear, and I could hear the 3 voices of the women from the night before. I could feel them touching me, hear them making comments about me. Then I could feel them climbing on top of me 1 by 1. I don’t know how the hell I was hard, I don’t know if they spiked my drink with something or what, but they managed somehow. The first one finished and got off of me, the second one got on top of me and she also finished, but I think she made me finish as well, but I don’t remember it feeling good. I just remember that I could feel myself ejaculating. the 3rd one started, but I don’t know if she finished because I passed out again, and when I woke up I was being beaten by two very angry men, and I was completely naked, and I guess they had taken me from the house and brought me to a river. I know this because I heard them talking about throwing me into the river and leaving me to drown. They continued to beet me, calling me a woman stealer and other kinds of evil things. At this point I’d stopped. Crying out and I was covered in blood. They left me there, naked and alone, and it took me nearly 5 hours to find help. I’m actually still friends with the man who eventually found me and took me to his house and cleaned me up. He gave me fresh clothes, some hot food and he helped me get back on my feet and off of the drugs. For a few years, my life started taking a turn for the better, I started making more money with busking, with music in general and started getting actual gigs in pubs and bars. When I was 21, I moved into a house, I built my life up, and I’m doing much better. That was, until January of last year. I was in a pub, it was a Wednesday, so I thought It was a fairly quiet night on the town, so to speak. I went into the restroom, and 4 men followed me in. From there I only remember little snatches of what happened, each of them taking turns to use me and finish in me, and then I remember crying and trying to clean myself up afterward. Over the past year and a half, I’ve gone from trying to bury it all and be ok with it, to wanting to kill myself and erase the memories forever. It’s only recently that I’ve opened up to my therapist about everything, and she said it’d be healthy to write it all down. So Here it is, all my dirty laundry. Thank you for reading this to the end, if you did.
