Thank you for sharing this and that writing out your own history was therapeutic. I have been shielding myself from the over-culture dialogue about this right now, but not because I am avoiding the issue, its just very present in my own spiritual life right now. Like you, I am a statistic and yet have always been sex-positive...and am blessed with a healthier and healthier sexual life, better and better men and women as lovers, etc. It is quite a journey. I feel for some men that this is such a painful issue they cant even look at it...and the current dialogue reinforces my feeling that women are just tougher overall, because we have to be...Hooray for you for owning who you are so thoroughly and making your life what you want it to be. Love you!
