You said you think your parents' incompetence stunted you. My family is very closed off emotionally, I only ever saw my parents kiss if my mom was teasing my dad the way kids do (like "ew, gross, cooties" level stuff), no one but my grandma says I love you, hugs are rare and forced, etc. I sometimes wonder if that affected me. But it didn't affect my sister, and a lot of kids I grew up with had the same kind of home life and ended up more sexually active because of it, not less. In the end, your experiences shape you, but nature overrides all of that. If your brain wants sex, you'd know it. June 29, 2020 at 11:45PM
