First off, I am a 68 yr old married woman with 3 grown sons..
I was molested as a child (age 6 to 13)..It messed me up, but I prevailed and went to college...had a career ...raised three well-adjusted men..have been married for nearly 48 years...no alcoholism, drug use, domestic abuse..
There are some things we know about you predators.., but perhaps you do not know about yourselves (or try NOT to know)..
We,especially when we are very young, do not want:
to see your dick
to touch it
to kiss it
to have you put it anywhere near us
we do not want you to :
touch/fondle us
kiss us
make us your "special friend"/"angel"/"honey"
you may think you are flattering us by paying attention to us, but most of us would rather NOT have your attention.
Perhaps we are afraid of what you might do if we do not "play along"..perhaps we are worried that your threats to our family might be real..perhaps we think no one would believe us...who knows..
many times we do not tell right away...we will tell as soon as we feel safe enough, even if it's too late to see you punished
the facts are simple.
if you are so twisted that people of your own age will not go out with you , it's a problem with YOU.. You are a vile creature if you can only pleasure yourself, by molesting children far younger than yourself..
we also know that you do not "grow out of it", even if society prods you to marry for the sake of your career..we know you will continue to "do your thing" even if it's your own children you abuse...
the only way you stop is if you are prosecuted/jailed or you die.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that at such a young age too. It was probably someone close to your family and trusted. What a world!
