Addressing such survivors, I can imagine it is distressing to think that men are still getting aroused at the sight. I am so sorry.<br /><br />The worst-case assumption is that the man is not only aroused, but is glad that it happened to you and maybe wishes he could have been there. But there are a lot of lesser possibilities. He might really regret that it happened, but since it did and no further direct harm can happen to you, he guiltily enjoys it. Not great, but not sadistic. As Marie suggests, a man might just be fascinated at the horror of it and unable to stop watching. Even if he is a pedophile, he might feel not at all aroused but feel deep rage that you were treated that way. It might have appeared among thousands of other images and he didn't even look at it.<br /><br />In Jesse's case, he had gone through the same thing but was troubled and feeling aroused for being in your role. Ultimately, someone's viewing of your experience might have helped him heal.<br /><br />Certainly the worst case may happen, but often it might not be that way at all.<br /><br />I found a YouTube video you can find by googling "CraziestTop10 fails and embarrassing moments". Will you resist the temptation to look at other people's misfortune? Will you promise not to be amused? If someone with less will power and a weaker moral compass than you doesn't resist, would you even suggest that he should go to prison for it?<br />Ethan Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830828059138370779noreply@blogger.com
