I don’t even know what to say. This is so goddamn beautiful. I don’t know where to begin! The whole experience you outlined with Amber is just the kind of amazing, healing act that sex can be but that our society would never encourage. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. It’s so lovely.
Also…I so love your message about beauty. I’m trying to wrestle with that AS WE SPEAK. Lol. Daring to define myself and ignore all the standards that would say I’m not allowed to be beautiful without being perfect. I am slowly stripping that out of me.
