This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Despite this, for my entire life, sex has just been a thing that you don’t talk about.

But that's all on YOU. I have more women friends that guy friends, and women talk about sex a lot. More so than guys in my experience.

Dude, you're an adult. Doesn't matter how you were raised, you are obviously smart enough to unprogram yourself from your upbringing.

A little empathy goes a long way, friend. Obviously I have personal responsibility. My post was not an attempt to eschew responsibility, but to tell my story.

A lot of people are in similar situations. I AM lucky enough to be smart and able to pull myself out of that kind of upbringing. Here's the kicker - a LOT of people aren't. Or are in even worse situations. Understanding where people are coming from and the unique challenges they've experienced, that shale who they are - that's the only way we're going to change anything societally.
