abhishek,
Welcome to MaleSurvivor. And as glad we are that you found this site, it also saddens us that you have been hurt.
Yes, as Aden has said, there is risk here, as with all things in life. Sometimes, we get hurt in the process of experiencing new opportunities in life.
We encourage you to follow the guidelines that the Administrator of MS have established.
Never give out personally identifying information. i.e., Real name, address, phone #, etc.
And understand that once you put it into print here or speak of it in chat, its open to the world.
And that leads us to the purposes of MS. To provide a place to speak openly of things, well kept secrete, while providing a measure of autonomy. Autonomy = safety, of a fashion.
Please do not harshly judge 2,040 members for the actions/words of one. Contact one (or more) of the Moderators with your questions/concerns, if any.
Give yourself time to get to know us. Give yourself time to settle down & get comfortable.
There is no rush here. No pressure or demands to share. Be at ease.
As, I Believe, for every ounce of risk here, there are 50 lbs of support, kindness, respect, understanding & freedom. Actually, that is an understatement.
Take care of your self.
Peace, ....Blacken

Welcome abhishek:
I have been visiting this site for just less than a year and have found it to be very helpful.
However it does not replace personal therapy, to deal with sexual abuse, if that is available to you.
I trust your feet are warmer in India today than mine are in Canada
Again, welcome.

The only "risk" I know of here, is in giving out Personal Identifying info. This site IS OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. Therefore, it is impossible to keep people out that may have, less than honerable intentions.
Never give out your name, phone #, address, or e-mail. Some people do so, some have not had problems, some have.
There Are child molesters, rapist & other criminals out there that would love to get that info. So don't do it.

Posting your story & your feelings, thoughts, ideas & questions will be welcomed, always.
At your own pace, of course.

Welcome to MS.
The risk's here are as high as you let them be, and if we're careful the risks are very low.
As the other guys have pointed out the way to maintain your safety is to keep your true personal details to yourself.
It's no problem to remain anonymous here, as many guys do.
That way you can talk freely.
If you have any questions then please ask a Moderator, or just post the question on the forum, and someone will answer it for you.

Welcome to here. I am sorry you have need to be here, of course. But this is a site of great understanding, support, and healing.
What people warn you of is a risk in any place in life, in 'real world' and in here. I know that when first I came here, I was feeling quite idealistic, and wanting to believe that everyone here is on the same 'wave' as me. But it is not true anywhere. People will have different personalities, and those personalities will at times clash. Soemtime, people with less noble intentions will come here, playing power games or some such thing.
Just maintain some basic privacy. Be select who you share truly 'personal' information with, and take your time to know someone before you trust them more 'in depth'. It is safe here, 99.9% of the time and people. We have responsibility to ourself and to keep ourself safe.
I wish you good luck.

Welcome abhishek, I am sorry that you needed to seek us out.
I hope you find this site as helpful as I have. It is a good compliment to formal therapy, but it isn't a replacement.
As far as personal safety and personal information, a lot of good advice has already been given.
