Writer Daniel Pinchbeck is blaming the women in his life for his “predatory” behavior that has recently come to light as part of the #MeToo movement.

In a lengthy Facebook post in which he admits to having been “sexually fixated, creepy, predatory” in the past, Pinchbeck — who has counted Sting and Russell Brand as fans — claims his actions stem from the way female family members treated him as a child.

“I was traumatized when I was very young,” he wrote. “The main things were: My grandmother and great aunts used to give me frequent enemas, which I believe I internalized as a form of sexual abuse. This left me with trauma and I would say a bit of OCD. I was never breastfed and believe that left me feeling lacking and desperately craving some essential connection to women.”

He further writes of his mother, the author Joyce Johnson, “She was alone, without a partner, and often depressed. I internalized a lot of her pain and frustration with men … Perhaps because I lived alone in close proximity to my mother, I developed a fear of intimacy that stayed with me for a long time. I also had an obsessive fixation with breasts and nipples.”

While Pinchbeck emphasized that he never “had nonconsensual sex, sex with a minor, sex with someone unconscious, or lied about my intentions to get someone into bed,” he admits he’s engaged in “many unaware and disrespectful behaviors, specifically: Pushing for sex without listening to why she was hesitant; seeking sexual contact with volunteers in an organization that I helped to start; the use of substances as tools of seduction; being incredibly insensitive and tone-deaf to women’s wants and needs; making unwanted advances; focusing on much younger women.”

He has been accused of misconduct in the past, and many social media commenters tore into Pinchbeck for his new post. “I feel like you want to be the victim in all this … You promote yourself as being so aware and mentally above many and then you wrote this big melodrama,” wrote one commenter, while another said, “Freud will not save you Daniel, and New Age covert self-victimization and escapism is unbecoming of an explorer of consciousness who has glimpsed beyond.” Some of his loyal fans, though, hollered their support for his “brave” and “raw” apology.

Pinchbeck’s first book, 2003’s “Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism,” centers on his idea that certain psychedelic drugs can “awaken the mind to other levels of awareness — to a holographic vision of the universe.” In the new Facebook post, he places blame on “the ongoing use of some of the mind-expanding chemicals I wrote about in my first book” for his behavior with women. “I now see that the continued use of certain chemicals had a negative impact on my personality over time,” he said.

Referencing Donald Trump’s infamous “grab ’em by the p—y” video, Pinchbeck also claims New York’s culture in the ’90s contributed to his ways.

“I remember one friend – the son of a famous NY art gallerist who kept giving me heroin – giving me the same advice as Trump: If I wanted more success with women, I should just grab them between the legs,” he said. “The basic model of sexuality in that scene was aggressive, dominance based, and involved transgression of boundaries as a norm … This was the model of how things worked in the world where I found myself coming of age as a man – how I was conditioned. Looking back, it was incredibly primitive.”

Pinchbeck was married to Jana Astanov, who on Twitter describes herself as a “priestess of impermanence & #poetry @International_Art.”
