The messages I am seeing here are as confusing to me as the messages I have seen from society in general. As a teen and young adult having what I thought were normal desires and curiosity about relationships and sex, yet being isolated, damaged me seriously, leading to a self-hatred that still crops up unwanted. I have tried to look at sex as a normal human need, made more interesting by letting somebody share your personal space, as a positive. I've always thought of sex so positively, never externalizing my struggles, so to see sex expressed in the negative is confusing.
