well first off cutting there could cause SO MUCH DAMAGE!!!

I can semi-relate... I mean I'm female so don't have the same stuff down there... but for a while I did strt to cut that area... still get urges to now... but as it's such a sensitive and easily damaged place I have been forcing myself to stop (which generally results in cutting elsewhere...)

could you speka to someone about this? I know that it's embarassing... but it's such a sensative and easily damaged area that you really need to get help...

do you have any support? any professional support? telling a councilor/therapist/gp would probably be easiest as they are most likely to understand...

Its more common than you think for sexually abused people to cut there.
so dont feel alone, but i have no advice, check out the abuse and bullying forum it might help.

take care.x

I understand man,
Was abused as well.
But yeah, it can really screw you up.
A huge HUGE danger field for infection, and that could go very badly.
PM me if you need....
