Understanding Sexual Development

Sexual development begins to form even before birth, influenced by parental and familial narratives. Many individuals struggle to identify the stages of their own sexual development due to a lack of guidance and open conversation in their family environments. This absence of understanding creates a disconnect that can result in unhealthy sexual behaviors and the pursuit of pornography as a misguided coping mechanism. By recognizing the early influences of family dynamics, one can start to untangle the complex relationship between their upbringing and current sexual struggles.
