People are Just People

What I am getting at is that we build it all up in our minds that it's going to be crazy and weird to see penises and butts and breasts everywhere - that we're going to have some sort of sexual response, or be grossed out, or not know where to look, or be embarrassed. And I will admit that my first time, there were a few points when I asked myself what the heck I was doing - more when I looked down at myself than when I looked at other people. But all I had to do was quickly remind myself of everything I had read and become convicted of, and the fact that no one was being rude or sexual - very respectful, in fact - and those feelings dissipated. And once I got beyond that, it was just so apparent that it wasn't a big deal at all, and there was absolutely nothing to object to. People are just people, and that's it.” —Name Withheld, Female
