I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, but I prefer the term survivor to that of victim. It implies passivity--once a victim, always a victim. Anyway, I am not sure is inappropriate cuddling also way of sexual abuse?
From some research I read about 10% of the population will have experienced some form of childhood sexual abuse, ranging from inappropriate cuddling or being flashed at to oral, vaginal, or anal penetration by older people. So, inappropriate cuddling is! As in most cases abusers were male, though as a male I was less likely to be abused than a female would have been.
