informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Bullet Review:

  • I desperately want to live in a world that will recognize siblings and give them medical benefits of their sibling.
  • I have never felt so seen before.
  • I thought for years that my feelings about sex were because of the way I was raised - the religious fundamentalism, the purity culture.
  • I would fret and worry about getting married and having to have sex and hoping that maybe I could get out of it somehow the first night.
  • One man I met, I thought maybe we would be intimate, not because I wanted it, but because I was tired of the stigma.
  • I am literally the 40-year-old-virgin and I have less of a desire to change that than ever.
