“[tw: sexual abuse] The girl or woman who is sexually abused and experiences orgasm does not want to be abused. The fact that she responds sexually is not a statement that sexual pleasure is bad. And - very important - it is not a betrayal of her body. her body did what bodies are supposed to do. You were betrayed not by your body, but by the adults who abused you.”

This is true for people of every gender. (I have yet to find a book for male survivors of sexual assault as adults.)
