Having reallife relationships to draw from is honestly what did it for me . Being intimate with a person on camerastage is much easier when you ' ve done it plenty in the real world it ' s secondnature at that point .

There ' s no shame in admitting that you ' re still experiencing barriers when it comes to intimacy .
