What was the age of the person you had sex with at 14?
Do you not understand the concept of trauma and how it relates to sexual assault? Ever read The Body Keeps the Score? Maybe you didn't make it unscathed. Maybe wanting to rape your 14 year old self for $10mil shows it did fuck you up.
I'd really recommend reading about PTSD and The Body Keeps the Score.
Sometimes you need someone to say, "hey, that's fucked up," to give yourself permission to say it too. Sometimes we need people in our lives to say that. Especially about an adult having sex with a 14 year old.
I get that's what you'd choose. I still think that's fucked up and you are ignorant to those effects, which are cognitively the same as torture. I don't think YOU are fucked up though, just that thought is fucked up. I'm sorry I said it like that.
Look at Amanda Bynes now. She doesn't have money anymore - she's going to school to be a nail salon lady. Do you genuinely think she's better off now than you are now? I think she's under conservatorship and forced to take psychiatric meds. I wouldn't trade lives with her.
I'm not projecting. There's science that shows this is what happens. I doubt you are a magical exception that proves that raping 14 year olds is actually okay for them. I think being okay with that shows you are affected by it. But I'm not really interested in provoking your trauma more. I do vehemently disagree and find that position to be gross at minimum and a red flag for your kids' safety at maximum. It's a very concerning belief.
