When you experience shame about what you like during sex, you’re actually experiencing shame about who you are – your very being. This is part of what makes shame surrounding sex so powerful.⠀
⠀
Researcher Brené Brown describes shame in her TED-talk as the following:⠀
⠀
“Shame is a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behavior. Shame is, “I am bad.” Guilt is, “I did something bad.” How many of you, if you did something that was hurtful to me, would be willing to say, “I’m sorry. I made a mistake?” How many of you would be willing to say that? Guilt: I’m sorry. I made a mistake. Shame: I’m sorry. I am a mistake.”⠀
⠀
Even though guilt is more about our behaviour being wrong than our souls “being wrong” – guilt can have a large impact on how we experience sex and what emotions during sex come up for us.⠀

Tomorrow I’ll be diving into guilt and how it impacts your libido.⠀
