an insight from a SA survivor

shinwoo’s need for sex came is a trauma response that came from his abusive partner who SA-ed him. in case you didn’t know, sexual assault survivors may experience hyper sexuality as a result from the assault. this is also the same for me.

a lot of people became hypersexual due to wanting to take back the power over their body. sexual assault is something that happened without our consent. therefore, we have no power to decide what happens to our body.

this is why some survivors may experience hypersexuality. this is a reality that i think a lot people are unaware of. understanding shinwoo means you understand SA. if you somehow reacted in a way of “he’s a whore”, you are apart of the problem. it is not easy to understand trauma responses.

please be kind while assessing these characters. yes, he is just a fictional character but what happened to him is a reality that a lot of people had to live in.
