Quote preview background for Emily Gould
As a child I was a little bit disgusted and embarrassed to learn about the facts of life, and did not immediately connect the idea of __ex_ to the feelings I got when I lay on the carpet on my stomach,idly humping a stuffed animal while watching Sesame Street. The realization that sex could be something to anticipate happily rather than to dread as another unpleasant grown-up duty came to me in a dream. Nothing overtly sexual even happened in this dream__t was a dream about lying in bed on a sunny afternoon with sun streaking the sheets, surrounded by warmth, feeling satisfied. It took life a long time for life to catch up with what this idealized version of sex could be like; it__ still not like that every time, but when it is, I notice.
