    Duh stupid question I know I'm not alone in this.
    But thing is I was reading about some douche bag named Sigmund Froid ( He's a real ass hole just read any of his theories) and he claimed that homosexuality comes from a childhood sexual trauma. Thing is when I was 4 I was raped by a cousin, and I just wanna know if most of you other gay guys had a sexual trauma.

    My cousin was 15 when it happened and recently I found out that he was being sexually assaulted by a teacher at the time, when people are sexually assaulted they reenact on other people to make sense of what happened to them. When it happened I was staying the night at my Aunts house and after everyone else had gone to sleep he asked me if I "wanted to try something fun". I was 4 and of course I wanted to try something fun. For weeks he did the same thing to me over and over, until eventually I told my mom I didn't want to sleep over there anymore. By now I'm pretty much over it, except not really cause I don't even think that its possible to get over something like that, but I really want to know if that's what turned me gay or not.

    It might have been a factor, might not have, it isn't a requirement or anything and not the deciding factor in sexuality. I had no such trauma and know for a fact that I'm gay

    Here is a thread that you might find helpful based on my experiences as a child. I personally concluded that I was gay, regardless of the childhood sexual coercion Which I was involved with. It took me time and quite a bit of personal work to come to terms with my experiences, but I have found internal peace and closure as a result. With work, you can as well.
