We’ve become very aware of the problems related to a lack of shame around sex. Our culture seems open to everything, often too explicit, and some people suffer from unwanted and aggressive advances.
However, discussing the issue of sexual shame might seem odd or indulgent. This refers to the mental suffering caused by embarrassment about desires, body image, and fear of judgment for sexual thoughts. Despite seeming like problems from the past, sexual shame persists as a psychological issue, unrelated to politics or religion.
Expressing our sexuality confidently and openly is a psychological achievement, usually stemming from supportive early environments. Being sexually untroubled as adults requires feeling acceptable to ourselves, where our bodies and curiosity were seen as natural.
Sexual desire is deeply personal and vulnerable, exposing us to potential ridicule. Shame about sexuality can destroy self-confidence, making it difficult to express desires or challenge bullies. Issues like impotence or lack of desire often trace back to self-hatred. Repairing sexual shame starts with acknowledging its existence and its impact on our lives.
To overcome sexual shame, we need to name and track the issue, speak openly about our inhibitions, and seek supportive, non-judgmental individuals. It’s crucial to question our feelings about our bodies and whether we deserve sexual pleasure without guilt or fear. In a caring and supportive environment, accepting our sexuality becomes a generous and mature act, allowing us to enjoy sex without shame or fear.
