Women's Studies 2283F/G Chapter : Desire - Lusting for Freedom, Walker.docx
Document Summary
I never felt any great loss of innocent, only great rushes of the kind of power that comes with self-knowing and share intimacy. The way we experience, speak about and envision sex and sexuality can either kill us or help us to know and protect ourselves better. Sex begins much earlier than most people think, and it is far more extensive. Sex can look like love if you don"t know what love looks like. It was a tricky world of alliances in those younger years. You could never be sure of who was going to like you and why, so i tried my best to control what parts i could. While i learned about my partners" bodies, i learned that i had the power to make them need me. While i learned how to draw them out. While i learned that they were not right for me, i learned that i was more than what they saw.
