Ourselves

Many of us tend to compartmentalize our sexual selves. We not only remove sex from the rest of our identity (so sex becomes merely a thing we do, not all the things we are) but we also draw artificial boundaries around our sexual desires. We deny long held sexual fantasies, we act in certain ways because it is what we think is expected of us based on our gender, or our age. But sexuality is who we are, and no matter how hard we try to deny sexual aspects of ourselves we might consider embarrassing, sexuality is one of the life forces that touches all aspects of who we are; our mind, our body and our spirit. There is no one way to do this, but turning your attention inward, and giving yourself permission to think about anything (or everything) as sexual, can open your mind up to the connections that are ever present in us between our physical, psychological, and spiritual experience of sexuality.
