    86: Sexual Coercion and Porn

    Sexual coercion is often described like this quote taken from the National Domestic Violence Hotline: "Have you ever felt pressured by your partner to have sex? Have you ever felt guilted into it, or felt like you weren’t able to say no? Abuse is often centered on power and control in all aspects of the relationship, so it’s not uncommon that an abusive partner will try to force intimacy. This is often referred to as sexual coercion, which lies on the continuum of sexually aggressive behavior. It can vary from being egged on and persuaded, to being forced to have contact. It can be verbal and emotional, in the form of statements that make you feel pressure, guilt, or shame.” This type of guilt and unwanted intimacy happens far too often in relationships. Sexually aggressive behavior is directly influenced by porn. The chances of sexually violent behavior increase as porn use escalates and a bigger and bigger "hit" is needed for the same high. You do not have to be abused in this way. You have right to say when, how, where, and who can touch your body.

    83: How Narcissists Manipulate Others' Opinions of Them

    Narcissists are master manipulators of everyone and everything. Of their family. Of their workplace. Of their congregation. But, they are especially concerned about managing their public persona. That whatever mask they like to wear, that people see them in that light. The helpful neighbor who abuses their family behind closed doors. The fun-loving colleague who is running you down and trying to destroy your career behind your back. Cluster b personality disordered individual go to great lengths to manipulate the opinions of outsiders, only showing them their carefully curated public persona. The praises people sing about your abuser can be jarring, until you realize and accept what lengths narcissists will go to maintain their mask.
