More men need to talk about this. Many men give women hell in relationships, truth is many of these men are deeply wounded. Someone close to me had his first experience with a babysitter when he was 10, she was a teenager. He too thought it was cool, but only decades later realized how damaging it was to him. His life changed once he started to deal with his demons, but it took him three decades.

Yes Diddy, I bet you he is a product of child molestation by man or woman and he blames his mother deep down inside and hate women for it He is in fact known to sleep with men so I suspect it was a man who molested him. That’s why I VET men because I can see through their childhood trauma and they hate women deep down inside

I realized this was happening to boys in my early 20's so every guy I talked to dated or just friends I asked them how they lost virginity and " 8 out 10" had the same story all thought it was cool til I told them they had been s/a and maybe why they are womanizers or overly sexual etc . Only one of those guys told me a man done that to him and it messed him up we are now in our 40's and are still really good friends. He is married to a woman now but Watching him now I know he struggles sexually but he hides like the rest .

I too was sexually molested by my older female cousins and I too joined the Navy. Naval Service fueled my sexual deviancy through the constant ports we'd stop at during deployment while stationed in Japan. Spending 4 years having unsafe sex with random women ruined my Psyche. when I got back to the states and tried to look for a monogamous relationship I would compare women and lose interest immediately once I got sex from them. I've always wanted to be a Father with a big family but due to the sexual trauma and lifestyle I refuse.

@@momo4044I'm not so sure you know. Sexual promiscuity and sexual development starts young in the black community. So many black men talk about being touched (and sexually used) by older female friends, cousins, aunties and even by their mother's friends. Even the gentleman in the video said his "older cousins AND the babysitter were touching him". But that is inevitable when "self expression" and "good vibes" is encouraged more than "self control". I mean, the single mother (baby momma) rates and "accepted side pieces/cheating" amongst the men kinda reflect that. If they're so hyper sexual as adults, it means it started young and is just a continuation of a cultivated cultural habit.
That’s so messed up..

I'm around this gentleman's age, when we were coming up. When these type of incidents happened, they'd blame the female & say she's just "fast" "hot" & be in big trouble. The law usually didn't get involved when children do this to each other. They'd get a beaten & ostracized. Glad situations & circumstances are changing.
A young woman who is performing sexual acts at 10 or 11 years old is also being violated sexually. We don't know what sex is until it is introduced to us by an older person who knows it's wrong. This is why the act is done in secret. My sister and i both were violated sexually. I was touched by older male cousins at the age of 5. My sister, on the other hand, was violated by my mothers ex-husband.

The same happened to me. I was also molested by my older cousin around the age of 5. When I came out and told my mom about it she did nothing. Kept it to herself. To this day she brushes it off and has a good relationship with said cousin. Oftentimes I feel she loves him more than she loves me because that’s what her actions show. Making me be around someone who stole my innocence is so cruel.

I pray for healing for so many touched and unheard/unhealed boys/men. What happened is not a badge of honor… praying that we get back to a time of innocence, purity and protection.

I encourage my patients into the hook up culture to share their sexual history from their first encounters To present and to request the same from anyone they want to engage sexually with. Knowing this will help you and them to face yourselves and make well informed decisions on how to move forward productively with or without the individual.
Very beautiful and introspective soul🙌🏽💚 I know how common his experience is unfortunately. And I’m glad it seems a diagnosis helps give a frame to work for healing from. I’m just not sold on NPD. I think we all have narcissism and abuse and neglect can cause us to divide inside. We can have parts of us that are narcissistic and parts that are codependent… so many things. I’m happy people can start to think about behavior and healing when learning about narcissism… but it just seems way more complex than this. I don’t think a true narcissist could ever do the self-reflection this man has done. A true narcissist could never care about his family and the well-being of others enough to want to change. We are very complex beings and that’s why it’s important to give pause before judging others disparagingly. Have healthy boundaries but don’t think blaming another will solve much for you.
Interesting. Makes me think about the men in my life.
