Is it normal to have a dirty side to your personality?

I sometimes feel like parts of my personality are opposites of each other. For example, I can have very sexually explicit thoughts but not urges and yet be very shy on the outside. No one would suspect that I'm the type to ever think sexual things (or watch porn even). I'm into spirituality and yet I don't get along well with one of my parents. It makes me feel like a hypocrite sometimes and at other times like a nasty person on the inside but an okay person on the outside. Are there two sides to my personality or just feeling guilty on a lot of things?? Esp with the sexual side, I don't feel comfortable divulging that to anybody. Thoughts?

    It's so incredibly normal lol. In fact i used to constantly scold myself for being so inappropriate. I still have a bit of a problem with sexual guilt, to be honest. Thing is, no one should feel guilty about having a sexual side. If we as humans weren't supposed to like sex, or if it was purely for procreation, it wouldn't be such a pleasant thing to experience/think about in the first place. Be as naughty as you like (mind you, im not implying you go screw everthing that breathes XD) the guilt will start to wear off once you grasp how seriously normal it is.

    i was always called a librarian throughout highschool by all my friends. basically i looked like a sweet innocent girl that liked to have fun but intelligent at the same time ya know. the reason for librarian is cuz they have that freaky side to them that no one knows about. my friends never knew for a fact but you they were right! you have no idea how many ppl are really like this. i promise. you are extremely normal.

    i feel the same way! at school everyone thinks im this sweet innocent little girl that would never do anything nasty or bad! they even freak out when i say a bad word!!! but i masterbate and i watch porn and i have so many fantasies of sex and stuff like that. i also have 2 different types of friends some r bad and they always talk about boys and sex, the other is the good girls that like to have fun and do what they want. but i think we r normal!!

    Nothing is dirty. Other peoples opinions about ones business is dirty. To be a fully actualized human being one has to explore every nook and cranny of themselves. There is no real normal in society. Don't be fooled. EVERYONE is different. Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

    My wife had a hard time when she found out about my 'bi-side'. I don't mention it or devulge in it but sometimes I'd like to. Just phyically, never emotionally. So I guess I'm a freak. Just remember-you're only as sick as your secrets!

    Sexuality can be spiritual also.

    Absolutely normal! I'm such a shy girl, which is probably why my bf freaked out when he realised I wasn't so shy in bed. Don't beat yourself up about it.

    We all have thoughts and feelings that can surprise or even shame us. The great thing about thoughts is that they don't matter all that much, what you actually do will always be more important than what you are thinking of. I feel much the same as what you described, I have a vivid fantasy life especially concerning sex, but I'm a preschool teacher so I don't think anyone would expect that of me. Sometimes people get this idea that you need to divulge all of your secrets (to your significant other or a friend) to be mentally healthy but the truth is secrets are okay. We all think and do things we wouldn't want ANYONE else to know and that is all right. I will leave you with a thought that has helped me: feelings are not right or wrong... they just are.

    Nobody is perfect, physically or morally. It's in our sinning nature to think about these kinds of things, we just have to try to limit ourselves with self-control.
