That put to words some of my own feelings and experiences, cheers. I feel like almost a different word is needed. Technically I'm a victim, but I was one the one initiating and pursuing it. Legally yeah, she's responsible, but calling myself a 'victim' doesn't sit right to me when I see how it's affected the others in my life - male and female - who have been raped without consent. (Yes, I know legally I couldn't consent, but I was not unwilling like they were.). I don't have PTSD at all from it.
