What is Sexual Abuse? Sexual Abuse Definitions

You may be wondering if sexual abuse can happen if you didn’t actually have sex, meaning full body penetration in the act we call sexual intercourse.

Keep in mind that ANY unwanted touching, contact or conversation of a sexual nature can be considered abusive. Whatever form it takes, this abuse can be harmful to you on a physical and emotional level. It is important not to dismiss your experiences because you’re worried that someone else may not agree they were abusive. If it hurts, you need help getting over it.

Also, keep in mind that the gender of the abuser and his or her sexual orientation do not change what happened. You may be a heterosexual male or female, yet suffer abuse at the hands of someone of your same gender.
