Description
Feeling shame after participating in sexual behavior is something that affects about 35 percent of the young adult population in the United States (National Center). Feeling sexual shame can cause internalized problems, disgust with one’s self, and inhibited desire and arousal (Keller, 2018). Nonetheless, very little is known about why feelings of shame emerge after participating in consensual sexual behavior in young adults. The purpose of this study will be to investigate the feelings of shame college aged individuals may encounter after taking part in sexual behavior."
