Is wanting sex bad?

I’ve been seeing someone and we both want eachother sexually so badly. But I keep getting hot and cold. One second we’re all over each other, the next I’m the one making us stop.

I was raised to believe sex is bad. A taboo subject. And now that I’m a mature adult woman, i feel like a wh*** wanting sex. And it confuses any man I am seeing. They’re like “so we’re kissing and touching and you pull back.. then you tell me I’m being pushy?” Which I stupidly do, because my past has made me behave this way.

Is it bad to be sexually attracted to someone and want to have sex with them? Someone you are seeing? Why am I soo programmed to think sex is so bad..
