I have a question, that...you'll probably understand my reasons for posting anonymously once you finish reading.
The local culture is very open and laid back about sexual interest. It's different as hell from my own home, where men who show sexual attraction are viewed as disgusting perverts and assumed to be dangerous, while people don't even fucking think about women having an interest in sex beyond wanting to have children. Some of the posts I've seen here would get everyone involved labeled sexual deviants for the shit they talk about in the open.
My question is, how do people adapt to it? I'm here doing my damn best to keep my mind out of the gutter because I've been taught thinking about anyone you don't want to date like that is disrespectful as hell and fucking creepy, but then I turn around and see people openly asking for hookups or rating each other's asses, and instead of people calling that shit skeevy, they either go along with it or treat it like a funny joke.
I know it's not prudishness, believe-you-fucking-me, my life would be easier if I was just naturally shy or reserved or whatever. It's an extreme form of culture shock, and I wish I didn't end up feeling like a dick constantly over the kinds of mental images I get from both the way people act in public around here and some of the things the prismals hand out as fucking party favors.

CW: Mention of rape, alcoholism, blackmail, and murder
He's even worse when he's drunk, and that's not infrequently. But there's not a whole fucking lot anyone can do, because he won't hesitate to threaten to ruin people's lives if he doesn't get his way. He'll even resort to murder if someone might actually be able to hurt him back.
no subject
He sounds like someone who hasn't had to face the consequences of his actions, and there's no one who is willing to stand up to him-
Or is able to.
I'm sorry you've had to bear that, though. I can see why it'd make you feel like a place like this would be difficult to be in.
no subject
Can you also see why I'm afraid of what might happen if I actually embrace my sex drive?
no subject
You're aware of the evil of your father's actions, and that will make you less likely to be that way.
That's a good thing, isn't it?

If you feel this way, then it's likely they'll be the first to stop you if they find you behaving in a way you'd be upset by.
But I have a feeling you won't. So just keep strong, and don't be afraid, okay?
no subject
He did tell me he'd step in if he ever saw me crossing a line, but he's not always there.
no subject
It wouldn't be fair to blame another person for something you could control, knowing that, right?

You should believe in your own strength too. Because in the end, the only one who has any power over you is... you.
