I have a friend who was sexually abused as a young child. When puberty hit, she became promiscuous. However, it was not a case of her not knowing how to say no. Instead, she was sexually aggressive and even took several boys’ virginity. I am not saying that she forced any of these boys to have sex with her – just that having sex was her idea, even when she was as young as fourteen years old.

She is now a functional adult, and we have talked at length about her turbulent teen years. I was floored the first time she told me that she did not experience an orgasm during consensual sex until she was in her twenties. Huh???
