*Triggers Possible* Curious Skin TRIGGERS

[Duckie]

So because I am a fool I watched it tonight. I had a shitty fucking day and I was feeling masochistic and I just asked my wife if she would be ok with watching it and so we did. Or at least Iw asched part of it, I listeened do the last third of the movie because I buried my face in the covers and just held my wife and listened. I was suprised by the first part of the movie at how they had to push the scenes further thatn felt necessary and it was very obvious what was going to be the result I mean something liek that but then ethtere is the FUCCKING SHOWER SCEEne and OMG aht was not ok. why did dit have to ge a fucking shower scnee and then that godamn moment where hes leying there and he looks over and its the other boy and thatrs my brother and wholy shit thsats when I coundt watch anymro and tha want even grafic so wtf and so @blacken was right I should hnot have watche dthat and its midnight now and I am not going to sleep I can tell yuou that. holy shit so caution if you want to watch this thing because its not that graphic but it really is I mean I dont know maybe nor for other people but fo me hell yes it was holy shit I am

feels like a long time ago now that someone posted a clip of that movie in chat without a trigger warning and it got me so off guard i was triggered and, upset for awhile. as time went on i for over it really but i have no intention ever watching that movie and i couldn't recommend it to anyone. i don't know the storyline or plot to it, of it has a message to it. i just know it's triggering.

wish I'd seen your post earlier. hopeful you're getting some rest in. see you around

I watched the entire movie a while ago but for some reason I have completely blocked out any memory of it.

I'm mostly in the same camp as @Jack1 here... I know I watched it, and fragments are in my memory, but largely my brain has isolated it away from me, which is probably for the best. @Duckie there are some things we just should not see... so just process it the best you can.

I am much calmer now. its been a while. I actually puked up my dinner after and I guess thats becoming my signature move. that and I became very very angry at my wife. I even said to her, I am really angry at you and its because I have no one else around to be angry at. We talked for a long time. I dont think I say it often enough, but thank you good men for being here. I appreciate all of you.

I saw it when it came out.
There was something cathartic about watching a rape similar to mine.
Not voyeuristic, but affirming.

That said, its a very hard watch and guys should use caution.

But it did help to bring Male Survivorship to the mainstream consciousness.
