Nerve Dating Confessions

January 22, 6:50PM I've always been pretty bold and brave and have gone after the things I've wanted most in life. I also had a pretty strong sense of boundaries when I was younger. But after living in the "cool" neighborhood for almost a decade, under a regular barrage of accusations from many people that my sexuality is too "vanilla" (I want to be married and have kids, I don't have fetishes or enjoy anal), I became so confused and fucked up that only therapy could help me find myself again.

IMHO, it's the people who berated you for not sharing their values that are confused and fucked up. As noted on NDC many times before, some people who were into kinky sex did therapy, and found that their interest in kinks evaporated. Having met a few who are into kinky stuff, I'm inclined to agree that sexual kinks are often driven by neuroses of some sort, and the kink is a way to avoid them. I suppose is cheaper (if you don't count expensive hardware), and more fun than doing hard drugs.
