This resonates with me a lot, because even though I think of myself as sex positive and even though I go to some lengths in my writing to normalize descriptions of sex and sexuality, I am still instinctively hesitant to be too open.

Yes, I have written very clearly and positively about sex in some detail, but when I do that I often have to force myself.

The act of describing sexuality feels wrong to me much of the time, even though I know writing about sexuality and normalizing sexuality does a lot of good.

Those cultural narratives are powerful and work on us in ways that are often unconscious.

Reshaping the common narrative is going to take a long time.
