But its all sort of a misnomer and a false expectation to say the least.
But talking about sex is important, especially during those hella awkward, hormonally-overwhelming teenage years.
First and foremost, remember that nobody owns your body.
Cyrus Crossan
I know that may sound extremely obvious, but seriously, soak that in.
Horny peers will beg for you to undress before them while your father figure pushes you to remain pure.
And while they all make you feel obligated, you dont owe any of them a Goddamn thing.
The only person who dictates what happens with your body isyou.
While scare tactics are fine and dandy, most of them are inflated tales or complete make believe.
You should always ask for consent.
While you might think it sounds cheesy, its actually quite the opposite.
Nobody is a mind reader, and our body language doesnt always speak the truth.
Just because she took her shirt off doesnt mean shes giving you permission to take off her pants.
And although hes obviously experiencing an erection, that doesnt mean hes ready to go.
Asking for permission shows you care (and may even turn your partner on a little more).
Its best to err on the side of caution than second guess yourself after the deed is already done.
Also, keep in mind that sex isnt always all its cracked up to be.
The media makes sex look so appealing, especially that moment when you turn in your v-card.
We assume that it will feel amazing while heaven and nature sing.
Everyone instantly feels happier after sex, so we should all be getting some.
But there are never any fireworks that first time, despite what we see on our television screens.
In fact, itll probably feel uncomfortable (and you may even cry).
Finally, you decide exactly what constitutes losing it for you.
It completely invalidates people from the LGBTQ+ community, victims of rape, and even some people with disabilities.
Despite what some may say, sex isnt limited to penial penetration of a vagina.
you’ve got the option to actually reach orgasm and fully enjoy yourself sexually insomany other ways.
Sex can feel amazing, but it can also cause a ton of emotional pain.
