I have been here for over a week now. I have used the chat, and posted here on the boards, but I haven't introduced myself or told much about my past. I guess I am still playing it safe, hiding in the shadows.

My name is Forrest and I am 33 years old. My life past and present is an open book for any who ask to peruse the pages.

I will start the sharing process by telling this: I survived brutal gang rape while in the military. This happened almost daily for about 11 months. I am here to get out of the shadows and go forth into the light. I am for the most part recovered, although this is a lifelong process, and never really comes to an end.

I have suffered much in my life, but I have survived. I am alive as a witness to others: Men Are Raped Too! I know that the pain is still fresh in my heart, and not buried as deeply as I thought.

I have much to tell anyone who would ask. I just don't know how to start. So, feel free to ask anything, and I will find the chapter in the book.

Thanks to all of you for everything. Each day brings a new relization. Each of you brings a torch that shines brightly. Hold them high, that I might leave the darkness of my heart and shine forth myself.
 
Forrest,

I don't think you're as lost as you believe you are. You hold your own torch which sheds light for others as well. Together we can illuminate our pathway into the light and leave the shadows behind.
 
Forrest,

post what you want, when you want, it is up to you.

Please put trigger warnings on posts that are graphic in detail.

Yes, men do get raped, and I am always wary of that in my life, and yes it must have been really tough, but, I am glad you found this place,

Forrest, the other guy I knew by that name was a really cool dad of a good friend of mine.

What a bunch of shit heads for treating you like that. I'm sorry, but the guys that I served with were much concerned about one another than that.

I too want to welcome you and to tell you to make yourself at home.

You might want to consider becoming a member so as to gain entree to our member side to post your story. Not that the member side is private or anything, but it is just a little more secure in that we at least know who everyone is. Whereas here, it is more public.

Welcome,

David
 
Welcome Forrest the men here are great guys who all have suffered at the hand of someone who caused much grief and emotional scars and great sexual scars as well.

I myself am ex-navy squid as some would say nuclear sub USS SANDLANCE,most of the guys I served with were a great bunch to be with and trust my life with as I lived on board a tight tin can for 6 months or more you practically knew you ship mate better then your own family.I am truely regretfull that another mate took advantage of you and stole your dignity and trust and most of all your own sexual life,stand and join the ranks of great men here I am sorry you have had to find us but know you are accepted as you are nothing less.

Atten hut another brother comes aboard lets all allow him to be welcomed and allow him to be comfortable the torch is lit and the pathway is open take what you need and when your ready to be that great man of Valor just know we are here to support you.
 
Thanks for the welcome and support guys.

I know that I am strong because I am a survivor. I too am sorry about my military experience, as it colored my view of the world greatly. I knew about rape and SA, just never though it would happen in the military of all places.

I hope I can use my experience to help my brothers here. It would make it mean something that way.
