ABSTRACT

I am working and struggling toward understanding my sexuality and I want to say maybe it’s no thanks to my mum. Sexual feelings are slowly coming forth, and I’m listening to them but I’m in a state of confusion. I shut down and have no feelings, and so the sexual tension rises. I have such fear around being intimate with people. I take it very slowly around women, and I know it’s connected to the abuse, all these issues around intimacy and trust and sexuality.
