Buying sex-related stuff in India is nerve wracking.

Noira

I don't know where else to post this and have no one to tell this to so I'm just posting it here. I'm 22. I just bought a pregnancy test for the first time, and I know it sounds like a first world problem but I'm still shaking because I was so scared. First of all, I had to go to a pharmacy in a place where no one knew me because of the stigma associated with sex. The pharmacy had 4 male employees and not a single female employee. The shame is so internalised that I couldn't even make eye contact. I couldn't even take the money out of my purse because I was shaking so much. I feel like absolute crap and I just want some comfort. I'm also really really angry that so many of us are raised to believe sex is shameful. I believe I'm a strong woman, but sometimes things just get to you subconsciously. It sucks.
