Porn from an early age affected my self respect. I didn’t know that porn wasn’t realistic and thought that I had to do the things these women did. It probably comes as no surprise then to say that I didn’t enjoy sexual activity until I was much older and started setting boundaries and prioritising my own pleasure. I look back on some of my past behaviour and am ashamed. Why did I ever think I existed to serve men?

When I was 13 a man asked me online if I masturbated. I was embarrassed and pressured and ashamed at the time because I didn’t know it was normal, and I told him that I did. He asked for more graphic details and then told me that he got off imagining it.
