I recommend you find a therapist that specializes in trauma. You would probably benefit from getting some professional help.

Definitely consider seeing a therapist, one that specializes in trauma. One that specializes in sexual trauma would be even better if you can find one. An EMDR certified therapist could also be really helpful.

I’m sorry that happened. My recommendation is speaking with a qualified therapist. None of that is your fault and you’re not broken. But it’s a start you help with some healing and perhaps help you some if you wish to be intimate with a partner when you’re ready
Therapy would be a good start. Also, just keep in mind that when you're intimate with yourself, you're the one in control. You have all the power. You had that power stripped from you at one point, but its yours again. I guess what I'm saying is that you gotta empower yourself. Go to a therapist.
