Wilhelm Reich & Sexual Healing Without Fashion Body Armor

Wilhelm Reich & Sexual Healing Without Fashion Body Armor AOC Living

With each year that goes by, it’s easy to make a suit of armor out of our bodies. We don’t feel anymore; we’re not connected to the sensuality of living — from smelling the roses to enjoying a roll in freshly-mowed hay. Often we use weight, as another form of body armor — one that deals with sensual guilt, religious finger-wagging about female sexuality and a host of other reasons to go undercover, especially when we are women.

In my own journey to self-love, I felt quite attuned to the idea of using calories and fat not necessarily to withdraw from life, but to do everything possible to disguise my sexuality. If after that, I was still sexually desireable, well it’s just not my fault. I’ve fallen behind in sharing this journey in AOC Superyoung but I changed my outlook on all of these subjects in 2004.
