Sexual System

a sexual system is composed of predominantly sexual headmates/protectors- the like... [in the beginning of its composition] due to intensive/excessive/consistent/persistent/repetitive/ongoing sexual abuse/trauma/memory flashbacks/body flashbacks/headmate-memory bleedthrough [flashbacks affecting a headmate's memories of the trauma]/headmate-body bleedthrough [the headmate out in the body experiencing body flashbacks of the trauma]

--

in short, a sexual system may be created after sexual abuse to help cope with the trauma- to clarify, at the beginning of the system's creation, there may be several sexual headmates/protectors [the like, etc...] to help cope with the trauma, but as time goes on [since the memories are still there, and as the flashbacks continue to happen, memory/body recall, bleedthrough, etc... more of these headmates will be made to help cope and compartmentalise the trauma], there will be others that aren't solely derived/reliant [as the source of the headmate] from the trauma [entomates [and others, introjects, etc...] that aren't the result of the trauma, instead on other sources of different kinds of trauma/other sources [splits, introjects, .etc...]
