Are we afraid that we will be judged for our desire? But don’t the people who will judge us have the very same desires locked up somewhere inside their mind too? The answer is yes.
In most cultures freedom of one’s sexuality is frowned upon. Sex is considered taboo. And where does it lead us? Nowhere. Well, it certainly doesn’t lead us to any healthier life style. If anything, conservative societies are more likely to have increased number of sexual offenders.
