I must say, I was raised with a similar view of sex and sexuality. But I rebelled. Hard. I didn't marry, but I moved out at 19. I am openly pansexual, polyamorous and kinky.

I think that erotic literature, as well as online support groups, were a great help in helping me understand and accept my sexuality and let go of the guilt that was ingrained in me by my mother.

My main problem with the majority of mainstream erotica is that it's, well, unrealistic and boring to me. It's not easy finding the good stuff. I think you should make a list in your next post on the subject.
