I was also wondering if it's unusual to feel guilty after masturbation? For as long as I can remember, I've associated my sexuality with shame (a lot of that is due to being sexually abused as a child) and often after I masturbate or become aroused, I feel a heavy sense of shame and self-consciousness. Am I alone in this?
P.S. I want to give a virtual high-five to all the Scarleteen staff for their awesome work
I have so much respect for what you're doing and am very, very grateful that a resource like Scarleteen exists.
