In this day and age, we have the resources to understand and develop a more well-rounded sexuality. Sexuality is very personal to everyone. We all have different sexual preferences, sexual orientations, body images, relationship needs, gender identities, and biological differences- that can all make sexuality overwhelming. But there are abundant resources to help us understand this natural part of being human.
Your sex life should be enjoyable! It should be happy and it should be fulfilling. And whether you wait to remain a virgin till you’re married or for the entirety of your life, one thing remains constant: your sexuality is yours and yours only. Every choice you make sexually should come from a healthy and happy place. As you grow up, your sexual preferences will most likely change and adapt. You will figure out what turns you on and what makes you feel emotionally sound. And as that happens, it is important to make smart and healthy choices: ones that are right for you!
As Heather Corinna says in her book S.E.X., “You have the unique opportunity to create,explore, nurture, and enjoy an authentic, personal sexuality that is beneficial to you and others, that is healthy and balanced, that is informed and empowering, and that allows you to find and express intimacy, joy, and pleasure in your life.” (10).
We live in a sexually repressed society. I have created this blog on the internet to feed into the movement of normalizing sexual behavior. And on a larger scale, to hopefully draw attention to the issues that we all run into when dealing with our sexuality. It’s important to claim our sexuality to celebrate it! That’s not me telling you to run around and have sex with everyone, it’s me telling you to educate yourself and those close to you! There is so much to study and learn from our bodies and sexuality. We have the power to make this a safer society and a happier one, too. And it all starts by talking.
