NA. FWIW, I completely agree. When I was growing up, the vast majority of girls my age didn't ever mention sex or sexual desire. There were girls who went against the grain and did talk about it, but just looking around the room, or at fictional characters, I never really saw a woman who was openly sexual (sexY maybe, or sexually responsive, but not sexual as in sexual desiring). So I was never taught HOW to desire. The message I kept getting over and over was that I wasn't supposed to be sexual.

Then as an older teen, I read a lot of sex-positive feminist writing which taught me how to masturbate and have sexual urges, but not how to have sexual attraction.

I think something about the way societal expectations of female sexuality and sex-positive feminism interact creates an ability to masturbate, but a lack of desire for other people, and a sense of panic or alienation because of that lack of desire.
