My dad likes to touch me. Is this sexual abuse?

any touching which you don't think is inapproporiate is abuse. you should talk to someone about htis

This depends where, if the parts are what you don't want him to touch then it is if not then it's not sexual abuse

How does your dad touching you make you feel? Some other important things to consider are: - Where does he touch you? - Are there other people around (like friends and family members) when he touches you or are you usually alone with him? - Have your ever asked him to stop? If so, did he listen to you? These questions are important because if you feel threatened, scared, confused, sad, guilty etc. in any way and you have asked him to stop and he continues then I would consider this sexual abuse. He is imposing something on you that you do not want, you have clearly expressed to him that you need him stop but he is forcefully continuing. That is also the case if he touches you this way in private, touches you in a way that makes you feel weird or tells you to not tell anyone else. Do you have someone, an adult that you trust in your life that you can talk to about this?

Yes, if it does make you feel uncomfortable, and if he keeps doing this tell the situation to one of your relatives or close friends, and it is up to you, it is all about your safety

Absolutely. He is your father & has no right to touch you, especially with your permission. Report him.

Depending on how your dad touches you, it could be. However, any touch that makes you uncomfortable is unacceptable, no matter who it is coming from. Voice your discomfort. If you are being touched under your clothing, on your breasts or genitals, know that it is not your fault, you should not feel guilty, and you should seek help from someone you trust.

If it's sexual touching, like in a suggestive way or in the "forbidden" areas, then definitely. I would suggest calling a sexual abuse hotline.

If your father is touching you in a way which is sexually inappropriate then yes it is classified as sexual abuse or rape. There are a number of hotlines and services available for help dealing with issues such as this, and if you feel you are in a situation like this i strongly urge you to contact one of these services.

Although I can't confirm your question, what I can say is that when one asks a question like this, it is often reflective in and of it self. What I mean by that is, if you are worried or concerned that it may, in fact, be sexual abuse, then chances are there is indeed a problem, even if the situation isn't what you would normally consider "sexual abuse". Like many have said, it depends. But above all things, if you feel in ANY way uncomfortable, you should definitely tell a trusted adult.

If he touches you in areas that are not meant for him to touch then yes it is considered sexual assault/sexual abuse.
