    Question

    When I was 15-1/2, my cousin bro forced me into having sex and continued for 2 1/2 yrs. To get out of the guilt I got into a relationship, which did not succeed. After that I tried to commit suicide when I was 18. Presently I don't know why but I have sexual urges for every guy who is good to me and it is affecting me emotionally. I have an affair, but I don't want to continue because I feel guilty. What should I do?

    Answer

    You need to find someone to talk to. Those feelings seem perfectly normal, but you have to find some peace. Please check out http://www.RAINN.org for some support.
