my girlfriend told me that when she was sexually abused years ago, the next day she felt aroused like she was wanting sexual stimulation. is it normal for victims of sexual abuse to feel that way?

Sometimes, after abuse, it's really normal to want to reclaim our sexuality. In other words, to remind ourselves of what sex really is, because rape and sexual abuse can hijack that so badly.
