There really is something raw about sexuality that's real and good and we must continue to learn to not be ashamed of it. But - we have to honor the reality of practicing safer sex.

I had a very good sexual education. My mother was very advanced in that regard. She conveyed to me the sense of reverence and wonder about my body and the powers of my sexuality not only to give life, but also to be a whole person and to enjoy pleasure. It was put to me as an almost holy act.

I practice safe sex - I use an airbag.

If you don't feel safe as a child, you can't learn.

When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

I think we're in a time when everyone's afraid to have sex. But I was raised being beautiful and healthy.

If I practised sex, out of moral conviction, that was one thing; but to enjoy it... seemed a defeat.
