You know my wife has made the statement “Don’t mix sex with emotion.” How did you bring these two together?
I don't think I have to this day.
My dad did not insult me or ever call me names or anything like that. He used to tease me-- and I HATE teasing. For example, when it was time for me to get my first bra, I asked my mother not to tell him, because I was sure he would make fun of me. And right away she understood. The view of sexuality I learned at home was very skewed.
Edited to add:
I think the teasing was a kind of violation. I never felt safe with my father.
