I cant get an erection im 25 and was sexually molested when i was 8 could this have something to do with it ?

Question:

Well when I was 8 I was sexually molested then started to gain a lot of weight I didnt loose it until i was 17 and had sex for the first time when I was 18. Ive been having trouble getting erect but not all the time. It really stresses me out when I cant get it up and I went to a doctor before they told me It i had nothing wrong physically Just wondering if anybody has some suggestions or tips please help.

Answers:
Sweetheart, it often takes years for the affects of childhood sexual abuse to surface and one of the first ways is to effect your sex life as an adult, here are links to some books and other sites that might help, but, please get into therapy to help overcome that horrible part of your past. Good Luck and God Bless. (You can find these and many other books on this subject at your local library, if it embarrasses you to check them out, say you are doing research for a Master's Degree.)
