“I wouldn’t say I was afraid of sex, no. I never enjoyed sex. It never interested me. Even now I have sex rarely because I don’t enjoy it that much. It never meant much to me. Do I know why? No, I’ve never bothered to explore why. I’m quite happy that it doesn’t. I can find it repulsive in men, especially men, whose lives seem based around sexual activity.”

I wasn't testing the listen as much as testing myself. I didn't want to feel comfortable as a writer or listen when dealing with the subject matter of these compositions. I was seething, weeping, screaming. This doesn't necessarily make for easy listening (nor for successful recordings as a rule). I was attempting to stretch myself, to touch upon, for want of a better word and at risk of overstating the fact, some unvarnished truth in a place that felt unsafe, unknown to me (musically).
