"I have always had this relationship for a long time... this bad relationship with my body and this terrible fear of sex and this terror of impurity that had been instilled in me since I was little. [...] I have always had close to me, in an enveloping (and also murky) way [...], priests who have always inculcated this idea of ​​chastity in me. Chastity, impurity, impurity and chastity. Continuously. These priests followed me. They also often came to my house, they were friends of my parents. They were very concerned about my spiritual life. Indeed, it seemed to me that they almost wanted to cultivate in me a chosen, particular creature like that. They wanted to take care of my soul a lot, but in taking care of my soul they made me experience my body in a schizophrenic way as if it were a shell to be forgotten."
