orgasmic life

We all have a history; throughout our lives, our experiences shape us. Negative ones can cause us to disassociate from parts of ourselves. Unconsciously, we pick up messages from our family, friends, teachers, the media and culture that cause us to reject aspects of our personality as we learn to doubt or judge. I came from a household where sex was not embraced – rather, the subliminal messages I picked up were that sex was dangerous and men were dangerous.
