Thank you!! Not sure what’s next. I need a breather;)
It’s fascinating how those childhood “jokes” can become these deep pain points that wreak havoc on our lives. I’ve got my own version of that.
Thank you for telling your story.
Fascinating. It makes me think of all kinds of desires we resist.
Thank you for this essay, Open Secrets Magazine and Amanda. Today is the first time I have heard the term "sexual anorexia." Fascinating read.
Absolutely stunning article/essay! Well researched and personal as well.
