<p>I’m not sure. Sexual liberation? All that stuff online, being able to do at least some of it in person? Some fantasies coming true? I’m writing this on my way to a furry convention where I’ll be around three of my partners. Maybe it would look like having comfortable sex with them. Maybe it would be some low-consequences sex with friends, many of whom will also be there.</p>
<p>Shame, according to Brené Brown, is rooted in vulnerability. Shame is the sense that “you are bad”, as opposed to the “you did a bad thing” that goes along with guilt.</p>
<p>To an extent, but not bad enough to hunt down some sort of “fix”. I don’t feel broken, <em>per se</em>, at least not always, but I do feel like I’m missing out on something wonderful. I don’t feel broken, but maybe I do feel a little jealous.</p>
