    Summary

    "Do you know what victims of child sexual abuse tend to do when they get older?" Leonard asked quietly, eyes not lifting from the PADD in his hands.

    "What?" Jim was as tense as a pulled rubber band.

    "They either become completely repulsed by sex... or become hypersexual in an attempt to cope."

    It's like Jim had swallowed an ice cube. He knows.

    ---

    Jim's been coping in not so great ways since Tarsus IV. (He’s been running from his past for years, in sex and adrenaline and starships, and it never works. But he never stops trying. He can't.)
