Confused later in life [View all]

I honestly don't even know if this is the right place to bring this up. Apologies if it's out of place.

Lost my virginity at 14 and it was consensual, so saying anything forty-some years feels "whiny." The partner was 24 and had been my babysitter as an infant. She was the neighbors daughter and her mother was my grandmother's drinking buddy.

In retrospect it was damaging and is probably a lot of the reason I self-identify as asexual. Can't blame her, but damn if I don't feel victimized years later.
