I'm so sorry James... maybe it's my culture... I guess I think it can help people if we talk about it. I certainly don't mean to offend, you especially!
It took me until into my 30's to embrace my sexuality and be comfortable in my body. I was awkward for too long, biggest prude I knew. Sex is best in love, imho. And it's also a beautiful part of being human. Humans need each other. Wish we could go back to living in villages in nature.
