The first link points out that to make the Olympics, a gymnast should begin training as a preschooler. The second link points out that three of the girls were under 13, and others were 13 to 16. As a seven year old I was molested by a man who asked for my help finding a doctor. He said his member was very “feverish” and forced me to touch it. I was terrified because I knew he was not right, but acted very little woman and concerned for his health. I then said, “Well, I must go and ask my mother where you can find a doctor, I’ll be right back.” Then I ran as fast as I could and told my mother (including that he forced me to touch him), but by the time she came the creep was gone. While I have had a normal adult sex life, I have never liked having to touch that, but have done so for the sake of men I loved.

Some things, and I think this is one of them, are better left unsaid.
