To the girls with BPD: Why are you so sexual

I can only speak for myself. My sexual drive is high as fuck but through out my life I went on without sex for 10 years straight. Mainly because I didn't want to be further tainted and be worth only for that like I was taught. I still felt that way but putting myself in such situations would just fuck me up more. I'm one of the BPD cases that has a background of child abuse and rape. So I struggled with fighting the impulses and urges mostly in my teens. (I'm 27 now) I also don't see sex as just an activity, I see it spiritually and loving bound even if I do tend to want violent things and be overly sexual, I do have issues but I learned that with the right person I can have that and still be loved and respected the way I need to be.
