MessageThanks Wendy for your words.
I think you have some deep insights into sexuality.
I would say that what you've mentioned explains about
half of it . . . but there's also another component
which doesn't referent any particular sexual acts
a person has engaged in thus far.
For example, a person can have sexual desires that
they don't actually act on, but nonetheless somehow
even having the desires creates an internal dialogue
of self-judgement.
Almost as if there is an internal judge that acts
to reprimand you for your thoughts . . .
If I may give a personal example:
There are plenty of times when I become sexually aroused
in everyday life and/or catch myself daydreaming about
something sexual. Then "the judge" appears and proceeds
to "lecture" me. It says things like "that's not proper",
"that's inappropriate", "what if such-and-so
persons/relatives/friends knew that you were having such
thoughts and feelings, they'd be so ashamed of you",
blah, blah, blah. All kinds of negative judgemental
chatter designed to induce feelings of shame, fear, and
lack of acceptance in being a sexual being. Then I
find myself internally arguing with this judge and
trying to silence his negative judgemental decrees.
I've talked with a good number of other people and they
have confirmed with me that they've experienced these
same phenemona on different occasions.
And I'm not sure why, or where this negative internal
judgemental chatter against being a sexual being comes from.
It intrigues and fascinates me.
Sorry, I guess I'm babbling now, but psycho-sexual issues
and related emotions fascinate me. Non-sexual emotions
tend not to be so slippery (pun intended :P ).
