Lookback: Throughout childhood

Exposed to hyper-sexualized family environment at a young age

I was exposed to explicit conversations and behaviors about sex from a young age, including watching my older brother masturbate and being encouraged to do the same.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had a more innocent and protected childhood, free from explicit discussions and behaviors."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be aware of the potential long-term effects of exposing children to explicit content and behaviors, and prioritize their emotional well-being."
