How does being molested "mess someone up"?
Generally speaking, how does it affect their character as adults?

Could turn someone gay with a warped sexuality
Pretty bad tbqh
Apparently fembots who were molested develop extremely degenerate fetishes as adults. Many such cases here.

I wonder the same thing to. Most people start jerking themselves off at like 10/11 so it can't be that traumatic. But yeah, probably does warp your sexuality like being exposed to anything like that at a young age.
t. got turned gay by furry porn when i was 11.

just going to post studies as I find them
It just makes you feel like you are worthless, used goods maybe? Also a lot of abusers teach the kid to be ashamed of what happened

I'm curious how much of that can also be attributed to the state of sex ed

Didn't effect me at all.
May or may not have made me bi and very submissive but i dont really know desu i wasnt sexual active before it happened so i got no idea if it did
I don't really get how robots can ask a question like this. Unless I'm some outlier, I feel like we were all heavily affected by our childhood.
I developed anger issues and have trouble with lashing out at people because that's always how my father behaved. I have trouble trusting that people are my friends because in school, I was frequently betrayed or abandoned by my so called friends. I wear a mask and hide behind being "the funny guy" because I learned young that people don't care about my actual feelings, but really like me when I'm funny.
Obviously being manipulated, sexually abused, etc as a child affects your personality.

I can only speak for myself here, I got molested as a 5yo boy.
Nightmares every night, unable to tolerate any kind of touch, no sexuality or sex drive, crippling C-PTSD, unable to refuse sex.
Specifically: it's hard-wired in my brain, from childhood, that I have no right to refuse sex. I try to remember that I'm a person, but when someone propositions me I just reflexively fall back onto behavior I've been taught as a child. If I say yes everything goes well. If I ever say no, all hell breaks loose.
It's like that for most of the things in my life. I can't say no, cause it's strongly associated to punishment, and that's too deeply hardwired for me to get rid of it easily.
Makes you distrustful of others and gives you a warped view of sex and relationships
Same as being physical or emotionally abused.
Wait, what am I supposed to like? I dun get it.

I hope it gets better anon
it may have the child turning away from what it supposed as safe; parents, doesnt have to be from parents, the child just realizes what it thought safe is no longer safe
pedophilia for this reason has a benifit to government as abused children may attach more to government

I was raped when I was 11. I confused and started having destructive relationships with men and women. I'm almost 30 and I took me a lot to realize why I do the things I do. I keep a lot in, switch from drugs to alcohol. I've had sex with over 100 women and a few men when I was younger. I might of had sex a lot but I've never had a meaningful relationship with any person. Despite my self destructive behavior I have a good job. I've never told anyone what happened and my parents hate me. I generally hate my self.

Thank you for being one of the only people on here that posts studies that at least give minimum effort to prove their conclusions make sense.

Thanks. It does get better, little by little.

Agreed. As a victim, this shit is way too sensitive for me to read about it, scientifically speaking.
Unfortunately, scientific approach nowadays is undervalued in favor of victims' inner feelings. That's a shame.

>being "the funny guy"
Stop. Being the funny guy was the biggest mistake I ever made in school.
Nobody takes funny people seriously. You can be funny with people who know and value you, just not with strangers.
