  1. It is called "trigger". It means that there are situations (acts, smell, sound, touch, words, it could be anything) that could bring mind of person who went trough traumatic experience as rape is back to those moments. Our bodies are capable of storing memories and that is why some touches can bring all those intensive emotions back to surface without warning. It is all PTSD related. It is not good to re-traumatize yourself by looking for triggers but rather to learn what are your triggers and to avoid them. Also when triggered and like lost in such intensive and scary emotions it is good to learn how to "ground" yourself and come back to present. Simple saying you name, date of birth, current date and similar can help to ground self. Search web about it, there are many good advices. Unfortunately many survivors of sexual abuse never treated nor looked for own healing, trauma is staying for many years buried and can show and drive person when felt under stress or some other emotional exhausting state. Mind of person who was sexually abused could be stuck into threatening situations, it was lost battle, person was in shock and there wasn't any safe escape from such terrible situation. Such traumatic memories can become imprinted and if not treated brain will look to repeat in future similar situation in search of resolution of such knot. Unfortunately resolution can't be reached by itself and many survivors of trauma could look for repeating it when felt down. It is reason why many of them are driven to some high risk activities: drug/alcohol use, obsessive gambling, risky sex... It could be anything that has high drive. And it will not stop before original trauma is healed. I was abused as kid too and I'm addicted to porn and masturbation. And highest drive can give me some stories that I've found here, I'm not proud about it but that is how are the things. Look for yourself and avoid triggering stuff...
