Schools teach that sex is bad. The church teaches that sex is bad. Our parents spank, shame, and punish us for our normal childhood expressions of sexuality. Politicians try to regulate our sexuality so that we are criminalized for our own natural desires. The entire world is convinced that we need to be ashamed of our sexuality and it’s created more pain and dysfunction that can be imagined. Sex is as natural as eating and we need to restore a sense of beauty and reverence to our sexuality in order for us to collectively heal from the abuses that have left us fragmented and dysfunctional.
