Why is it that girls who were molested in childhood become sluts and promiscuous when they get older?

The impact of sexual abuse can range from no apparent effects to very severe ones. Typically, children who experience the most serious types of abuse – abuse involving family members and high degrees of physical force – exhibit behaviour problems ranging from separation anxiety to post-traumatic stress disorder. However, children who are the victims of sexual abuse are also often exposed to a variety of other stresses and difficult circumstances in their lives, including parental substance abuse. The sexual abuse and its aftermath may be only part of the child’s negative experiences and subsequent behaviours. Being abused as a child may have serious and long-lasting effects on a person. Such effects can include:Loss of confidence, dignity and self respect Low self-esteem and poor self-worth Loss of hope for the future Adverse effects on both physical and mental health The inability to trust others even close family and friends The inability to relax and enjoy life Loss of innocence and childhood Anxiety, guilt and fear Sexual dysfunction, withdrawal, and acting out Difficulties in relating to the opposite sex. And may also lead to:Alcohol and drug abuse Obsessive behaviour and strict routines Anxiety states Self-harming e.g. cutting, scratching or burning Depression and suicide. When an adult woman is raped this can lead to serious psychological consequences When this happens to a child and is often repeatedly over months or even years. Surely you can understand that to be repeatedly raped as a child, at the time when we develop into the adults we become, to live in constant fear of the next attack, feeling helpless to stop the abuse is enough to leave many girls totally unable to have a healthy sex life in adulthood. These girls frequently grow up with no self respect or esteem and this not only leads some of them to them grow up and be promiscuous but that probably just as many are probably never able to enjoy any sort of normal sex life.Try to imagine what sort of adult you would have grown up into and whether you would have a healthy attitude towards sex if you had been forcibly raped dozens, hundreds or even more times while you were growing up....

It’s not true that all girls or boys who were molested become sexually active or act out with many partners-some are unable to have sex, or rarely if ever have sex. I’ve met sexually abused women and men who’ve had a very difficult time trusting ppl, have problems being vulnerable with a partner, and some have flashbacks and disassociative attacks that interfere with their having sex. http://www.secasa.com.au/index.php/workers/21/54Even worse: “Research has shown that child sexual abuse victims are more likely to be the victims of rape or to be involved in physically abusive relationships as adults are.” http://www.apa.org/releases/sexabuse/effects.html btw: Plenty of girls who were never molested enjoy sex, with lots of partners....

Yes there are cases of women who were sexually abused repeatedly as children becoming sexually promiscuous as young teens and in the later years. Mainly due to their learning that if they “performed” they would be loved and accepted. Thus for attention and hoping to find that security and love, some women will perform all sorts of sexual behaviors and go after repeatedly trying to fulfill not only the needs of their current partner at the time, but to fulfill their own needs they think. When they are dropped like a hot potato especially in the teen years, they go on to the next one again hoping to find that love they are hoping for.... Show More

Interesting question. certainly worth a thought. Ever wonder why kids who have abusive parents often grew up to be abusive parent themselves? I don’t have a concrete answers to that nor am i able to cite reliable source for my answer but i shall attempt to answer base on my own conclusions. When we were young we are very impressionable. What causes a human being to remember things for life is the emotional impact it has on one, the greater the emotional impact the more you will not forget. It could be fear, love, pain, pleasure, etc.. as such it conditions the mind and form an anchor in one’s life. Some people just want to hurt themselves more in order to cover up another pain. Some just re-enact the events as its something familiar and yet not totally clear. As such it is like a spiral downward chain reaction that just goes down, down, down and lower. The way to over come it is to let go of the past, re-create oneself in-terms of looks, mindsets, education, deportment, etc.. have a brand new you or a new sets of positive friends and environment. In short change everything and become what you want to be not what your past had shape you to be.... Show More

https://shorturl.im/yA8c9they essentially lead down this path because of thier troubled childhood, this is a psychology question that i barely have the right answer for, my thinking is that because they were raised in that environment, they have it in thier head that that’s the only way to live so they act upon it. you must also understand that some become prostitutes/strippers/sluts because of the sole reason that the job delivers, they’re getting paid and it pays the bills so why not....

It depends on how they experienced the molestation and at what age and by whom.Sex might lose a lot of the ick factor to them and they might be more open than average girls about it due to their experience.However the exact opposite can happen as well, that they get put off sex.... Show More

though you could have worded your question in a more sensitive way, i do understand what you want to ask. When girls are brought up in an abusive environment, they are used to abuse. it is the only thing that is normal to them, and they don’t know any better than to receive abuse. being in a loving relationship makes them feel uncomfortable, because it’s not what they’re used to. additionally, abuse destroys a person’s self esteem, so they become promiscuous not only because it’s the lifestyle they’ve grown used to, but also because they subconsciously believe they don’t deserve any better....
