Every bit of emotional clearing you do will make it easier to open up to deep intimacy with a partner. Don’t hesitate to find a support group and/or therapist to help with this process.

So I am on the road to recovery from past porn / sex addictions, and I have a couple childhood memories that are recently haunting me. As a kid you experiment with your sexuality, but these two really bother me. Here they are:
1. I remember spying on my sister as a kid when she was getting in the shower. I peeked underneath a crack in the door, and could see in the reflection from the floor. I couldn't see much, but do remember seeing some glimpses of her boobs, which excited me. I did this a few times.

What about surviving the Addicted Lover who rejects-abandons you for The Next One? Why do women get addicted to these guys? Working out Bad Daddy issues via Imago?

Hello all,
I was just wondering if there's a correlation between lack of bonding behaviors between parents/child and the subsequent lack of bonding behaviors (or ability to initiate them) into adulthood?
Recently, as a part of my healing process, I began to dig further into my past. Not that I haven't already done that before, but my knowledge of sexuality/relationships/psychology increased exponentially recently so I also got a new perspective on old stuff.
When I was a kid I was expansive (perhaps excessively), cried for nothing, highly idealistic, creative and stuff.

Dear Friends,
I would like to talk about something that I so far have not seen described here. I would like to preface this post by saying that I tend to seek naturalist explanations for phenomena in the world. Perhaps Marnia can add a more spiritual commentary. I'm certain that I'm not the first to think of this and here is an excellent place to discuss it.
