What I’m trying to say is, that many, if not most, people are wounded in their sexuality.
This can be caused by porn consumption, abuse (even if it wasn’t sexual), neglect and many more. If any trauma is deeply rooted in your personality, it will translate into your sexuality.
Most prominent example would be Christian Grey from the 50 Shades series.
He was deeply wounded in his core, so his sexuality was twisted in a very unhealthy manner.
But only because we are wounded and have strange kinks therefrom, doesn’t mean we automatically know of these kink, even less acknowledge the kink.
Especially when the kink is opposed to our ideal, be it moraly, or what we see as masculine etc.
When we are confronted with these unknown aspects of us, it can be very disturbing.
Let me make an example. I was a porn addict for about 20 years. I watched all kind of porn, from vanilla to very kinky. In the first year of my relationship I played a game with my fiancée. We had to talk about fantasies we had, but never spoke about before. Suddenly I had a realization. One thought that made me very horny on the one side, made me also very anxious about what it would do to my relationship if we ever act it out. It was a cognitive dissonance. It hit me so hard that I got serious headache and had to take a few pills.
A first step was to acknowledge this side of me. I did accept that a part of me had this fantasy. Over time, the connected fears disappeared.
But, most beautiful, over much more time, the kink disappeared.
Because I was healing this wound, caused by porn.
And that’s a typical pattern I notice in many journals. We listen to subs. Suddenly something comes up again, more intense than ever before. And then it’s gone.
Like a splinter in your body. It causes all kinds of little pains. If you start healing, it comes to the surface, what might be more unpleasent than the little pain it caused. But once it left your body you can finally heal for good.
You’re using subs for quite some time now. It could be, that that day, something deep inside dislodged and came to the surface so it can go for good.
