Maybe this is too personal, but do you struggle with any sexual guilt as a result of your indoctrination even now that you are an atheist?

Absolutely.  I still feel guilty watching porn, especially if it is not vanilla porn.  It’s generally more difficult for me to move out of a vanilla sexual relationship because I was taught to believe that sex was primarily for procreation and was not ok until after marriage. 

(That idea is hard to get over.)
