黒い突起(涙)

私は妊娠もまだしたことがありません。生まれてからずっと乳首は黒いです。沖縄で生まれた私。もともと肌が黒いわけでもないのに乳首、乳輪と黒い。

気になりだしたのが高校生の頃でした。周りの友達と海へレジャーで出かけたり、少し性について興味を持ち始めた時に自分の乳首が黒いことに悩みを持ちました。私自身人前で裸になったりすることを嫌がりました。

脱毛サロンの乳輪回りの脱毛も恥ずかしくて行けず、自分で家庭脱毛器を購入して誰にも見せないようにしたりと隠すようになりました。そしてしばらく彼氏もいなかったので特に長年気にならなかったのですが、彼氏ができた際にこの乳首を見せるのがコンプレックスで色んな美白洗剤や色素を取ってくれるホワイトニング的なものを購入しましたがあまり実感を得ることもできませんでした。

しかしそんな私が悩んでいるほど彼は私の乳首なんて別に興味や視点を重視してないことを実感できたのです。彼は私そのものを愛してくれているし、乳首なんて体の一部の小さい部分であり、そんなことよりも大切なのはお互いを思いやってすべてを愛してくれる人がいますし、この乳首の黒いことだけで性経験が豊富なんてことはありません。

生まれ持った宝物として自分を愛すことの方が重要です。…
