To My Dearest Vagina,

…’During the two years following my separation I used you to punish myself through sex.

I felt my self becoming addicted to the being desired sexually but after a night of sex with many random strangers, I felt empty and alone.

It wasn’t all bad and in many ways I look back on this time as a sexual discovery because I was sexually constrained as a teenager and young woman and never really got to discover my sexuality as you most do during those years.

I came full circle really but now instead of abstaining from sex through fear of God not loving me or being dirty, I choose to sleep with only people that I feel connected to and that are worthy of having access to my body and spirit.

With my new way of being with sex because I want it to be a loving intimate experience with someone that appreciates all of me, we aren’t having sex all that much these days!’
