Another Brief Childhoood Anecdote

I had a good childhood. I was a happy little boy. My earliest exposure to the sex industry was probably a bit early to keep me from being screwed up. Both of my parents worked, and I was watched by two different sitters on different days. One of them was a nice high school girl. I don't think she ever did anything to help mess me up. The other was a very nice little old lady. She watched the garbage daytime talk shows while I played on the floor. When I was somewhere around 4 years old Phil Donahue had strippers on. She made me watch. "Watch this." "Watch how they strip down to almost nothing." Why the fuck does a 4 year old need to watch that! What a cluster. I never should have been exposed to that. And I definitely soaked it up. I got an erection. I remember playing with it. On the living room floor. With the baby sitter and I watching strippers on TV. It's not like I was molested. But some innocence was probably lost there.

I saw a CNN.com story yesterday in a similar vein.

This girl got an mp3 player that some douche bag bought, filled with porn, and returned. That girl is wrecked. Just like that.

Oh wow.....just found your blog.

Gotta tell you that what this babysitter did is sexual child abuse. Sexual abuse comes in many, many, many forms. This is one of them. What a trip for a small boy of four to go through. If you read books on sexual abuse you will find stories of people thats lives changed in a second by having someone they are close to look (family member) at them in a sexual way or from making sexual comments.

I'm blown away by the absolute ignorance of that older woman. That's a powerfully impressionable experience to put on a small child.

Keep blogging - it's definitely a form of therapy.
