Does the word "recovery" trigger you?

When I designed Unconditional Love, I included material from both the Boylove/Girl-love Communities and the Sexual Recovery Communities. One of my hopes was that people in both communities would thus have an opportunity (if they wished) of reading about what the others were doing. Not wishing to force such reading on anyone, I set up separate pages for the BL/GL material and the sexual recovery material. However, the feedback I've been getting is that some visitors who are undergoing sexual recovery have been so badly scarred by encounters with boylovers or girl-lovers that the very words "boylover" and "girl-lover" trigger hurtful emotions. For their sake, therefore, I'm setting up an alternate edition of Unconditional Love that does not contain the BL/GL page. What I'm wondering is whether I need to do something similar for some boylovers and girl-lovers. I know that some people on these boards have had damaging encounters with sexual recovery programs. Do any of you find that the very words "sexual recovery" trigger hurtful emotions? Would you find it helpful if I were to set up an alternate site without the sexual recovery page? Obviously, I would prefer if most people visited the full version of the site, simply ignoring any links that are not of interest to them, but I feel that I should be sensitive to the needs of those who have undergone traumatic abuse – in this case, abuse by a particular sexual recovery program.
