Anyway, comming from a catholic backround, it has pretty much been instilled in you that sex is bad, everything associated with sex is bad.

My wife would only have sex in the missionary position for a long time. Basically I had to "break her down" I had to have her get over her insecurities, about who she was, her body, her self image, her outward image.

It took a long time but she has gotten over most of it, still working on other things.
Okay, I grew up in the same catholic fashion. I understood that you saved yourself till marriage but I don't get the part about it being instilled that sex is bad. I know I must have been in a different catholic school. In fact most of the catholic schools I know about had the wild kids. You are stereotyping that catholics have hang-ups about sex. I disagree with this. I know that the 10 commandments state not to commit adultery or covet your neighbor's wife but I don't think there was anything taught to me that sex was bad and I can only have sex in the missionary position. I always thought it was encouraged when you were married. Especially because catholics wanted to have large families. Just a different catholic opinion. As for looking at mags or reading stories it enhanced sex with my hubby.
