I stayed away from this topic until now, because for me, it's hard to answer. I was with my husband before I even realized there was a word for all those wonderful urges and feelings. No, I did not understand them, and I fought those feelings for a long time. I spent alot of years learning to accpt myself for who and what I was. Alot of time soul searching, alot of tears, alot of rebelling. Even to this day I still struggle with it to some degree, mainly in trying to understand and accept that there is nothing wrong with me or how I feel. I can say with absolute certainty though that yes, once I accept myself, it is very satisfying and rewarding.
