		<description>Jenny
Thank you for sharing your experiences and your feelings.
Your comment stayed with me for a while as I contemplated what you have gone through.
It seems to me you are still working out  your feelings towards what happened to you as a young girl and I am glad of one thing and that is your attempt to analyze your experience and get past it.
We have no control over past events or how we reacted or how we were involved. But we can have control over how we react to past events in the present, and how we will continue our life.

You will only be a victim for as long as you permit yourself to be.

Moving on is hard and won&#039;t be easy but continuing to remind yourself of your self-worth and your right to a balanced happy relationship will prove rewarding in the long run.

Knowing that you are not alone may help as well. Talking about it even on anonymous forums gives one a sense of relief. Sharing with others who have been through the same may help.  You could even set up an anonymous blog where you can write about everything that happened to you and then delete it. It may offer catharsis.

Thank you again for sharing your feelings.</description>

		<description>It would be interesting to hear a man&#039;s take on that issue

I think though men would be more intrigued than threatened with the incorporation of such toys (depending of course on the trust between partners of course)</description>

		<description>Red Label? I think it&#039;s popular across southern Asia, but I don&#039;t know may Scots who&#039;d touch the stuff. You *can* find Johnny Walker blue label in some parts of the world, at an exorbitant price, but it wouldn&#039;t be regarded as in the same class a decent Speyside or Orkney malt, let alone one of the peaty Hebridean varieties.

For my father&#039;s Christmas present this year, possibly a nice Macallan 10-year old, aged in oak previously used for sherry or Bourbon. I do know he enjoyed the 15 year-old Highland Park I bought his cousin as an 80th birthday present this year though.

Still, I&#039;m not going to encourage people to drink blended Scotch outside mosques, let alone dispose of the glass irresponsibly...</description>

		<description>you know, i dont think they&#039;d ever take in Kuwait.. vibrators that is. Not even as some fun together. I think most men would feel threatened... the prospect of being rendered obsoulte and all that.</description>

		<description>Instead of arguing, maybe what happened to me can put some things into perspective. 

one-
&quot;Parent-child incest is obviously and automatically bad, no question. 

As for the idea of “benign” sibling incest, I really don’t think such a thing exists. Most sibling incest cases are initiated by the older sibling, so there is a built-in power imbalance; the older sibling wants to control and usually diminish the younger one by treating him/her as an object and not a human being.&quot;

This was what I got out of most of the comments. 

Maybe this can help answer your question- I had an incestuous relationship with my brother who is two years older than me. It started when I was around 9 or 10 until I was 13. He initiated, like the quotation says, and from there he introduced me to my first sexual activities. He was the first one that touched me, not myself. 

I constantly wonder what it is like to be touched for the first time by the opposite sex, someone you care about, someone who is right- not your brother. I know sometimes I didn&#039;t want to do it and I felt extremely uncomfortable. 

Jumping to the point- I still don&#039;t know if he wanted power over me, but that&#039;s what he got. And that&#039;s what every other guy gets from me when I can&#039;t say no. That&#039;s what every guy gets from me when I try to build a relationship, and that&#039;s what every guy doesn&#039;t want from me by the end when he just wants me to stop talking to him but I can not pull myself away from being attached, and what hurts most is I know all of this is happening but I can not let go. I was his object, and that&#039;s all I sometimes can be to guys even though I know I am an amazing person with so much to offer. 

I&#039;ve never had a relationship, I&#039;ve never been turned on by someone else, I watch porn when I tell myself not to to feel that gratification of seeing a guy use a girl objectively. It makes me sick, but I am constantly fighting against it. 

Sometimes I feel destroyed, but I know I have a lot to offer so I try to remain hopefull- but what happened with me and my brother destroyed my self-worth, my sense of self, my sensitivity to sex acts, my thoughts, what turns me on, and my fears of having children.

I am 19 years old now, I am going to school for a successful career, I am still close with my brother, I hate him sometimes but I love him mostly. We never talk about what happened, and sometimes I wonder if he even knows what he did.


So is incest destructive? Right or wrong? It depends on the person who wants to remain a victim because he/she doesn&#039;t feel they have a way out of it.

When someone is in a situation like that, they are introduced to what it&#039;s like to be against reality- I knew it was wrong, but my mind was tossed into a different world after that. I am constantly trying to ground myself and realize I can be like everyone else after so long of not thinking I was good enough to get good grades, good enough to keep up with life like everyone else. Until I hit college and found myself behind and having sex with anyone who wanted to. 

I&#039;m glad I&#039;ve had the time to think about this for a while rationally before I ran into this blog. Hopefully it will click with some of you.</description>
