interesting
I find this particular line of Christina's article fascinating.
She writes, "I've been working and writing about sex for almost 20 years now. And my libido still has plenty of tangles with secrecy and shame, fear and the forbidden. (Anyone who's read my more fucked-up porn will attest to that.) Those threads are woven in deep, and they're not going away."
I find this disturbing. While it doesn't surprise me that people have issues with sexuality, it surprises me to hear this part in particular, "and they're not going away."
I think this paragraph is revealing. It's a bummer to hear this kind of defeatism. I think there's a lot to be learned about sex yet.
love & light,
