Question
Is this sexual abuse? What do you call it when I did not know that it was sex? I was in the 3rd grade and had anal sex with a guy. But I did not know what it was and he did. What would you call that?

Any way you look at it, it was sexual abuse and I am sorry that you experienced it and live with the memory and consequences. Please talk to a counselor at RAINN www.rainn.org/. You are worth it!
