TOE DIPPING INTO SEXUALITY
When I first started exploring my sexuality, I was curious but nervous as HELL!!! I remember thinking to myself, I am a “GOOD CATHOLIC GIRL”!!! Who am I to be curious to explore this taboo topic of sex? If people find out they are going to think I am a pervert or there is something wrong with me. In my heart I could feel this hunger deep inside of me, calling me to explore this taboo topic of sex, but at the same time, it felt wrong. It was almost like the story of Adam and Eve, where Eve was being tempted to eat of the forbidden fruit. So, while I was curious, a part of me was scared and didn’t want anyone to know.
So, I hid. I tried to bury the desire, but it wouldn’t go away. I tried to pretend it didn’t exist and that it wasn’t important. But something inside of me kept leading me to explore. Does that sound familiar to you?
Did you grow up in a household where there wasn’t much talk about sex? Were your religious or cultural beliefs so foundational to the bedrock of your life that sex was a topic of little importance? You likely got the birds and the bees talk, but what did your parents really teach you about sex? I have interviewed hundreds of men and women and I typically get 3 answers to this basic question.
- NOTHING
- Don’t do it until you are married
- Use protection
There is so much focus on education in our world today, however, SEX is not at the top of the list. SEX appears to be this TABOO topic people are uncomfortable talking about. THE NAKED TRUTH is that our sexuality as men and women are at the CORE of WHO WE ARE. If we are not taught how to embrace our sexuality, we cannot fully come to know ourselves. Society and culture teach us to FEAR sex rather than EMBRACE it. So how can we begin to learn about healthy sexuality, when there are no platforms for this topic?
My vision is to create a better world for women where healthy sexuality is no longer considered taboo, shameful, or dirty. A world where men and women no longer suffer in silence or settle for mediocre relationships. A world where sexual abuse is no longer hushed and tolerated. A world where healthy sexuality is respected and life-giving.
I Invite to you to say YES to the journey of redefining the power of sexuality, where you can create intimate partnerships, practice sacred sex and experience the lasting love that your soul craves.
