Exposing sensations and features that are often hidden, for fear of going 'against nature'. We're talking about homosexuality, in this case between women, considering many details about the sensations experienced by the persons involved, who are often the victims of brutal violence, as here. When you reveal something that is inside you, hidden, private and very sensitive (which may appear contrary to certain social philosophies of the old school) you feel rejected, because of an ignorant bigotry and superficial ideas of many of the people who do not accept some of your 'special' nuances. Then, there are two possibilities: you kill yourself or run away.
