Man on man got to love those triggers.
My biggest ones are seeing men that look like my attacker
Anyone not listening when I say no or please don't (in a romantic/sexual situation)
Anyone who might grab my wrists or arms, basically not letting me up
Crowds
People I don't know drinking around me
Certain songs
Oregon

I am getting so much better though, I just hope one day it isn't as crippling as it has been
Love to all

My triggers are vicks (used for colds), silk scarfs and certain music.

[scrawf]

the sound of vibrating phones, loud (sudden) noises, certain songs, the movie "blue valentine", talk/scenes of sex or anything intimate, not being able to move freely, being touched by people i don't know, etc

When someone says "Ssssshhhhh" (as in "be quiet").

[divine.ffdd]

*having nothing in my mind going on
*being photographed or filmed (trying to get over it recently)
*law and order svu
*really young kids
*certain smells
*really bad hyperhidrosis moments where i cant do anything
*people having sex in front of me and couples with good relationships
*anything reminding me how empty i am
*when someone doesn't understand what i'm saying
*really innocent girls even ones my own age
*some older women

all i can think of right now.
i find learning about photography, sex etc makes me to look at things and just focus on technical aspects and distracts me from what happend, i dont talk about them though.
thanks for starting this

this makes me nervous too

[Andalucia]

men with beards
crowds, esp. hostile or drunk crowds
people who act as though they don't believe me or care what I'm saying
people who are judgmental about the way women dress or their loose morals

[tweb]

yes, it sounds racist, but I'm working with it with my T

indian dudes, esp with mustaches. I have to work with one, reminds me of my attacker. It almost makes work too much at times.

white suv, his car

the street where his business is located

at times, not often, but sometimes, my own body, due to body memories, or just memories

news stories on s.a.

I had been doing pretty well with triggers, but some new ones have reared their heads lately. :-/ My usual ones though are...

- Certain scents of aftershaves / colognes.
- Being held down ( Being held down by my arms / wrists is especially triggering... ).
- Being belittled and ridiculed.

The worse one at the moment though has to be my ridiculous reaction to ejaculate... I know it's just cells... things floating in plastic bags almost if you will... but... it freaks me out too much at times to the point that I feel incredibly nauseated... I've tried working on it myself, but I've not told my boyfriend about it yet... I don't want to offend him or upset him. So... this is my next trigger to over come. Just not sure yet how to go about it!

Glasses. My uncle wore this very particular style of glasses. I remember referring to them as "creepy glasses". They still haunt me.
Mineral water. Their water had a lot of calcium in it. I remember him bathing me in it a lot...it has a certain smell, believe it or not.
Red Caravan's.
Shaved pubic hair.
Being touched
Red walls
The color red in general
Closets
Bathrooms
Ripped towels
Uniforms


There's just so many. I could list them forever.

[future_truth]

Great idea for a post!!!

My two worst triggers are:

When I'm in a moving car and I can't see where it's going, or only being able to see the tops of street lights and trees go past.

And the sound a van's sliding side door makes when closing.

[scrawf]

a recent one that's developed has been "how i met your mother"
not always but some episodes just make me really upset and my mind starts racing

<font color='#000000'>Feet pajamas, the full-body kind with the zipper down the front.  That's all I can think of now.  I also share the envy/worry of/for young girls, especially when I see them receiving care from a man.  Creeps me out sometimes.

I was curious to see someone else calls themself "little girl lost" as I have always said that if I ever wrote a book I would call it Little Girl Lost. I was physically (not sexually) and mentally abused by my father until I was l8 and moved out of my house. He was never mad at me he was mad at my mother and took it out on my sister and I. There was a VERY traumatic incident when I was l8 that involved a gun. I have never felt that I am good enough. I always feel alone inside and empty. I feel like a failure even though I have done and accomplished many good things in my life. Don't think I will ever feel worthy or good. Was sexually abused a week ago by a neighbor. I am now 59 years old and am still trying to figure out exactly how to feel. Was married 36 years with no actual abuse...just husband was at work all the time and I raised our 2 children basically alone. After a divorce I met the most mentally abusive person I have ever been around in my life. I spent l2 years taking this abuse...all mental except one occasion of fracturing my cheek. I seem to have a hard time leaving people who treat me like I am no one. I I sworn to myself that I will NEVER do that again. I will live alone and enjoy friends and family. Men represent sadness to me.
