Loving and accepting all facets of myself has been an ongoing journey for me. We usually believe that loving oneself is straightforward and easy but if we are to dig deeper we'll see it's one of the most difficult things which also affects how we love others.

Sexual Passion

The first kind of love is Eros, which is named after the Greek god of love and fertility.
