Sexual abuse does not preclude the possibility of sexual pleasure, particularly when there is no fear or threat involved. Indeed, Freud's sexual theories depend on the erotogenesis of the body, particularly during early childhood years. The author presents a case of the sexual seduction of a four-year old girl, its complex psychological consequences, and the author's counter-transference struggle to acknowledge what she was saying in terms of the sheer empowering ecstasy of the experience. Associations led to his own psychoanalytic formation, current reverberations of “Me-too,” and the reward of mutuality and aliveness when counter-resistance is overcome.
