    That’s not so much being upfront and honest with sex as it is trauma dumping on you. The fact that you’re emotionally scarred from it decades later is a big clue here.

      I am curious what they meant by “emotionally scarred”. Like, reality can be harsh, and learning that leaves an impression, but that doesn’t mean that the process was messed up, although it could have been.

      Awkward is not bad, not always. It depends on the details.

      I think you meant “emotionally scarred” but if I’m honest, “emotionally scared” is also true.
