I'm just sharing what I learned in school. I majored in psychology, and while most victims do report the experience as horrifying, the clients that are said to be the hardest to treat, are the ones who experienced pleasure. The guilt for them is overwhelming. Do you understand, most can't even make the breakthrough? They are disgusted with themselves, and the pain is unbelievable. Even though, they've learned that its wasn't their fault and the adult is "always responsible", the guilt they feel because part of it was pleasurable is insurmountable. It's possible that many of the people you've talked to do not even want to admit this, or didn't experience it, but I'm sharing what the experts believe. My point though, is
his argument is that this book will make the experience more pleasurable to children, thinking somehow this will lessen the trauma, some people might even think that makes sense and
this in no way reduces the trauma, in fact, it adds to it!!!! I just want people to understand, that NO having them "enjoy" it, does not make it better.
