It's wonderful, freeing, and helpful to read another woman share her fears and frustrations with sex when so many of us grew up with little to zero knowledge about sex. If I had a pen name and avatar profile, I would write about it so freely -- so you are right, it speaks volumes for what you've done here and without knowing you well, I 100% can say: proud of you! Bravo!

I hope you can now be more at ease that only writing what you do helps others and it's high time we women start having these conversations over and over. I'm all in for breaking the stigma; I hope others will stop being "surprised" when we feel free to talk about it openly. That only further prevents us from opening up again - you know what I mean? -- The: "I didn't realize "you" thought about those things!" -- type of comment or reaction?

Anyhow --
