MAP Forum

Hello, I am a 22 y/o female and I have known or suspected for while that i was a MAP. I was sexually abused when I was younger and have always been very very hypersexual and started having sex very young with other young people. One day I started to get urges and well I feel disgusted about it and I hate how badly I want to have relationships with younger people. I would love to meet friends and talk more about this.

Hello! I study sexuality and your case seems interesting. Some AAMs/MAPs were never touched sexually as children (myself included) yet still have hypersexuality. I liken it to more of a social thing. If you'd like to discuss more, I'd be glad to know. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here!

Welcome to the group!

Really??? For some reason i thought that me being touched when young would increase the chances of being a MAP. I would love to chat more about it.

I'm not bnkywuv, but I was relatively hypersexual growing up just because I wasn't subject to any shame around masturbation other than it being a 'private thing' to avoid in public or around others. Currently my libido fluctuates a lot, albeit really slowly so it's very gradual, but I've had hypersexual seasons and near-sex repulsed ones.

Hey foxflower you have come to the right place. No judgement here, you did not choose this anymore than we did. I am a example of someone who was never touched sexually as a kid nor start having sex early, nothing outside of show me yours I'll show you mine style, yet my brain is strongly programmed as be a pedo and into other forbidden stuff. The human mind is very strange and no one understands what programs us this way. All that matters right now is you are accepted as you are and we are all here to talk to you openly. You made a very brave step coming here and accepting what you are. You are likely to have a happy life even with this attraction

Welcome, Foxflower. You've come to the right place.

As others have said, your attractions are natural to you. They are instinctual, something you are born with. And nothing you do, say, or have experienced can either cause it or make it go away. The amount you crave sex, also known as your libido, is the same. On that day, you simply realized the potential that had always lay within you.

You cannot control these feelings, therefore I say it is pointless to feel guilty about them. But you can control what you do about them. and as long as you do have self-control, there's no reason you would suddenly lose it around children.

Your next step is likely to realize that all the nasty stories you've heard about pedophiles are mostly gigantic myths. No different that the nasty stories you've heard about the boogey man. One great example is that of kidnapping. No one wants to kidnap children, or anyone else. It is the rarest of all crimes, by a large margin. Even the truly malicious actors out there almost never resort to kidnapping.

This video here nicely explains what I'm talking about. She talks specifically about kidnapping more around 19:15, but the whole interview is worth watching. Know that she is very much NOT Pro-MAP, but she is pro-youth rights.

Welcome glad you can feel free to express yourself. Your feelings are your feelings & you should not let people or society push you down because of it. We need to be more free to express ourself & our whole selves. Just hope that coming here & being able to accept yourself will a wonderful experience for you.
