Commentaries by Cynthia

It’s true that we live in a sexually saturated society. We’re faced with it everywhere - on TV, in movies, books, magazines, on the Internet, and even on public billboards. Still, sex hasn’t been a topic that I’ve talked much about, mainly because I think it’s a personal topic that is best shared between intimate partners. But it seems like there are people out there who are curious about my sexuality, so brace yourselves, because I’m getting ready to tell you a few things about myself.

Hopefully, you didn’t have any childhood encounters with sex. If you did, you suffered greatly, had a lot of shame and confusion, and were afraid to tell anyone about the abuse. After all, you were a child, and if you grew up in the 70's or earlier, you were to be seen and not heard. I’m glad that some of that mentality has disappeared, but the fact remains that childhood sexual abuse tends to leave scars that manifest later in one’s sex life.
