The word used to trigger me too and if it still did I'd be less prone to using it. I want to clarify that it's not a word I toss around. I'm respectful with it... I just no longer fear it. :-) <br /><br />Yes yes, by all means avoid triggers! But what's awesome.. is the further we work our recovery, the less some triggers are actually triggery:-)The Lighthouse Coalitionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313283867022797916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424482756711997594.post-36241651659316747622013-01-30T22:44:34.946-07:002013-01-30T22:44:34.946-07:00I avoid this word, but only because it can be a tr...I avoid this word, but only because it can be a trigger for me. I'm careful with words because I know that some of us are very sensitive to them. The fun of being addicted to written porn. But it's not a dirty word. Neither are most words. It's how we use them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424482756711997594.post-45455957463555495692013-01-30T09:42:18.675-07:002013-01-30T09:42:18.675-07:00In school we had a class where for an hour we sat ...In school we had a class where for an hour we sat around saying all of the words that make us uncomfortable. We thought up sentences to use them in and we repeated over and over. By the end of the class, nobody was blushing anymore. I need to be able to ask people all kinds of things about sexual behavior in order to be able to care for them properly. I do write m/b sometimes, not because I'm afraid to write or say masturbation, but because it's quicker.

I still write MB sometimes, but in conversation with my support group we say it how it is.

I'm sorry but gone are the days of petting and heavy petting, like any of today's youth have a clue what that even is. I know I plan to be very blunt with my boys as they get older, age appropriate of course. When we beat around the bush and/or don't understand the terms used it's easy to not confess and come completely clean...that has been one of my problems anyway. Once you recognize and SAY it you can ACCEPT it! :) LovesJananoreply@blogger.com
