I received this email from a man who had been directed to this site by a friend of his who has her story up here. It almost brought me to tears, and I felt an overwhelming need to share it with those that visit this page. This is the kinda stuff that reminds me why I do this.
"I was directed to this site by a friend. Someone I met on the internet. Someone I have never seen, heard, touched or smelled. Yet, as I sat and read her story, I knew her. I am a male. I have never been raped. I have never had to face the fears
of what the women who have opened up and contributed to this page have felt. As a male I was both shocked and enlightened at what I read in my friends words.
I wish I had some power.....some mystical, magical power to make every man on this earth read these letters and see the damage that can be done to a loving soul by an act of disgust. My friend, what I know of her, is the most loving person. How can someone take that from her? What right did "he" have to rob her of her dreams and calm? I have been around this world long enough
to know that it isn't always the picture post card perfect world we all heard about from our grandparents...but, my God. Reckon with others as you will be reckoned with one day. Never take from anyone what their God or Goddess has given them.
I have nothing but respect for the ladies who have told their stories on this site. Please know that there are those who learn from the mistakes of others and you ladies have opened my eyes and my heart with your stories. You have my love Iris...and my respect."

Every two minutes a woman is raped....
I was. There is no lower life form on the face of this earth than a rapist. I have been raped repeatedly, but only one story appears here. I was four days shy of my thirteenth birthday, it was at knifepoint, and the perpetrators were four men I did not know. It was brutal, it was violent, and it was cruel. They took away my innocence, my self-confidence, my belief in goodness. They stole any hope I had of ever having a normal sexual relationship with a man, of ever having a man touch me, and not remind me of that horrible night almost six years ago years ago when time stood still, and my soul stopped. But most importantly, they took, without my consent, my LIFE as i had known it to be.
This page is my dedication to all of the beautiful people out there who have survived sexual abuse. All of you are amazing, and you are ALL gods and goddesses. This page was originally built in order for me to have some sort of arena to deal with myself. To deal with the pain, confusion, rage, sadness that I have inside of me. But, it has taken on a life of it's own. It has become so much more than a web page... at least to me. It is my way of healing. And someday I will. All in time.....
