Shame and family
What are some coping skills to overcome shame or sexual shame? Like especially how do you cope with feeling alone and bad about the stuff that you are into when society doesn't give much positive feedback about those things and if they are feedback with some stuff its only in an erotic context. I'd like to know some art-preferably not just words on an aesthetic background, some safe for chromebook websites, songs and tv shows as suggestions to reassure me in those things or about me as a person being good. Ok! Thanks!

Re: Shame and family
Hi Starsnsloths,
This is a really interesting question! I'm sure other folks will have additional recommendations, but I find this mix is a good starting place: https://www.scarleteen.com/blog/heather ... munication. Lizzo and Janelle Monae's music are also places where there's a lot of positive representation of sexual desire.
I haven't seen it myself, by I've also heard good things about the show Sex Education when it comes to representing a variety of sexualities in a positive, realistic light, so it may be worth checking that out as well.
