What you've described absolutely is rape. You were seven years old and your assailant was fifteen. I consider that child molestation. I urge you to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and work through some of this. At the very least, find a support group. It's perfectly normal that this is still bothering you years later and, unfortunately, it may continue hurting for a while. Just know that you've taken the first step towards moving on by asking for help here.


How long does it take for a symtom of an STD to show up? I just gave my boyfriend a blow job last night for the first time and now i have a sore in my mouth. Could it be an STD and should i be worried? Thanks so much. (link)
How long does it take for an STD to show up? The truth is that there is no concrete answer to that question. Some people carry an infection for years (or a lifetime) and never show symptoms. The chances of an STD exhibiting symptoms the next day are pretty slim, though. Sores usually develop as a result of Herpes (painful) or Syphillis (not painful) infections -- once again, the sore probably wouldn't show up the next day. Keep in mind that the presence of a sore in your mouth increases your chances of contracting an STD through oral sex. I would urge you to use a condom when giving a blow job (at least until the sore heals) and if you're gonna be sexually active, get STD check-ups regularly.
