Overall, I don’t blame Harris for all the issues I’ve had to deal with. There were aspects of my upbringing that in and of themselves would have caused me to feel some shame about sex and dating. However, his teachings definitely added fuel to the fire and made things much worse. If the people in my life had not subscribed to or taught his ideas, I wouldn’t have so many fears or so much shame. I’m in my mid-20s, and I feel like I am learning things about love, sex, and dating that I should have learned in high school, had I been given the chance to be a normal hormonal teenager. I feel like my sexual autonomy was robbed from me, and I get angry when I realize how much I’m still affected by his teachings. I’ve never had a serious relationship and I’m still a virgin. However, I’m getting better at fighting off the fears and feelings of guilt, but it’s been a slow process.
