Complicated Emotions about Sex

Do you have unexpected reactions when you’re being sexual:
• crying or feelings of embarrassment
• disgust or “tuning out”
• being preoccupied and unable to concentrate
• uncomfortable or self-conscious feelings about your body
• experiencing intrusive or unwanted images and fantasies
Maybe you just want “more” from sex, even though you aren’t sure exactly what that means.
People of all ages and backgrounds struggle with how to experience sex as a simple and enjoyable activity created by Nature. We live in a time of abundant and ever-present information, imagery and material related to sexuality and yet we often end up confused and over-stimulated about it.
