Sex was not a topic of conversation in my family. I never saw my parents be affectionate towards one another. At school, it was considered cool to talk about it in an healthy way.

Sex was literally never discussed in my house. Ever.. except for one time when my dad told me to keep my snake in my pants I was 14 years old. That was my sex talk. One time I got caught accidentally downloading porn, and I think he was so embarrassed. He yelled at me that that would never occur in his house and that was the end of it. All the other boys in my class were in such a hurry to have sex. I took that as a cue to do the same. I ended up having sex with a girl. I didn’t love who I didn’t even find all that attractive, I’m pretty sure was very into me so I used her. It was a horrible experience and we went on to have more horrible experiences. She was crushed and heartbroken and I used her to make myself feel validated.

Sex is something I struggle to talk about. I can make innuendo or joke but when it comes to talking about what I want, I find it hard to do. It can feel comfortable to think about but putting it into words is difficult.
