Ah... I know the feeling of vulnerability of letting oneself be seen for wanting to have sex. For putting oneself out there trying to be sexy.

That's such a beautiful thing you did, and so brave, to share that side of yourself with someone. I'm sorry you haven't had someone fully appreciate that about you yet.

A woman's sexuality is a beautiful thing. And initiating sex is damn scary. The rejection hurts like nothing else and instills shame in a way that nothing else does.
