Answer:
The earliest influences on our sexu.ality are the household and societal se..xual norms that we grow up with. If you were raised in a place where most people, for religious or cultural reasons, feel that se..x is bad or to be feared, you might suppress your own early sex..ual exploration. Early fears of se.xua..lity remain with us once we are adults and can be difficult to shake. It is also the case that if you were raised in a family or culture that had strict definitions of what a sex..y woman should look like, you may feel inadequate in comparison. Concerns about body image and whether one is desirable enough can kill nascent sex..ual interest.
