I just find all this stuff so deeply depressing. So depressing I may have to go and look at some porn.

I've seen first-hand how much people can be screwed up by that attitude to even the most boring vanilla sort of sexual fantasy, let…

At some level arousal is an autonomic function; it’s like… ]]> Thu, 01 Sept 2011 12:19:34 +1200 Tamara https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/up-front-ill-be-in-my-bunk/?p=226907#post226907 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/up-front-ill-be-in-my-bunk/?p=226907#post226907 Thu, 01 Sept 2011 12:09:26 +1200 Lucy Stewart https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/up-front-ill-be-in-my-bunk/?p=226904#post226904 https://publicaddress.net/system/cafe/up-front-ill-be-in-my-bunk/?p=226904#post226904 My issue is that, at base, the problem is that they’ve been taught to feel guilty about their natural sexual feelings, which Renaud frequently describes as “perverse”.
