Sex and Self-Respect

lets-blog-about-sex-baby:

There seems to be this misconception among certain individuals and groups of people that when someone has sex outside of a certain set of perimeters (usually the after marriage to make babies perimeters) that that person has no self respect. This is, apparently, especially true if you have lots of sex, or have sex with multiple people and you’re not committed to them in a relationship. 

This kind of thinking is not only harmful, but demeaning. It implies that people (especially women identifying people) can’t enjoy sex without having some sort of mental problem behind it. It invalidates very real sexual feelings and reverts back to old societal ideals that sex is not a source of pleasure, especially for those who are women or who identify as women. It also shows how narrow minded people are, and leads to laws that seek to constrict sexual freedom.

This is the reason I started this blog; to show people that you can be comfortable in your own sphere of sexual expression and still respect yourself. It doesn’t matter how you like your sex, how many people you have sex with, if you’re having sex with someone you love or just a fuck buddy. Your expression of sexuality is not the only part of you; you are a whole person with ideas and feelings. The fact that people judge you and me and others for how we decide to show and express our sexuality is a large failing on society. I’m just one, young blogger, but I at least hope to help instill people with the confidence and self-love that’s so hard to get with all the negative attitudes towards sex.
