Discussion on Child Abuse and Consent

It feels good. I mean, if you're seven-years-old and

somebody, uh, which I was trying to say this to,

to my friends who had children,

you're seven-years-old and someone is stroking your penis, it feels

good.

Right.

Even though you don't have a name for what that is, it feels

good. So this is what so many people don't

understand.

A big part of the confusion and shame for child victims is that the

attention and the seduction from the predator, who is

probably gonna be somebody you know.

Right.

In order for it to work, it has to be somebody you know, somebody

you admire, somebody you respect, or maybe even

love, and it feels good. I mean,

if you're seven-years-old and somebody, uh, which I was trying to say this to, to

my friends who had children, you're seven-years-old and someone

is stroking your

penis, it feels good.

Right.

Even though you don't have a name for what that is, it feels

good. And when I first said this years ago,

people were like, "You're crazy,"

'cause everybody wants to believe it's, like, sexual assault, and you're being

thrown up against the wall, and you're being raped.

And I have said for years, if the abuser is any good,

it... You won't even know it's happened.

You will be in it, and you won't even know it's happened.

And if the abuser is any good, he or she is going to make

you feel like you're a part of it. I mean, and nothing is more

being a part of it than what we discussed earlier.
