6 Oct 10	Endings and beginnings	(6 Oct 10, 1:42 AM by The_Counsellor)

24 Feb 10	Feeling anxious about what you desire (1)	(26 Feb 10, 7:56 AM by katie_may)
I talk to a lot of people about feelings of anxiety concerning sexual and fetish desires. Feeling anxious, and worrying about being "normal" or "abnormal", "weird" and "sane" seems to be very common. It's a shame that so many people's sexuality is troubled by such feelings. [more...]
