None of this\u00a0\u201cbaby I can\u2019t control myself around you\u201d or\u00a0\u201cI just wanted you so bad\u201d bullshit.<br \/>3. <b>Coercion is real<\/b> and it\u2019s very scary and hard to identify in the moment. Establish a dialogue with your partner. Be clear on what you both want. Be clear on what you <i>don\u2019t<\/i> want. Your boundaries should ALWAYS be respected.<br \/>4.<b> Sex can be really emotionally and physically over-stimulating<\/b> the first few times; don\u2019t be afraid or ashamed to ask your partner to slow down, take a break, or even stop.<br \/>5.<b> Focus less on pleasing your partner and more on exploring your partner<\/b>. Everyone\u2019s body is different and there are no\u00a0\u201ctricks\u201d to better sex. Chances are, if you psych yourself out worrying over how well you\u2019re\u00a0\u201cperforming\u201d then nobody\u2019s going to have a good time.<br \/>6. <b>Ask questions, offer suggestions.<\/b> Despite what porn has probably taught you, talking during sex isn\u2019t weird or taboo. Your partner isn\u2019t a mind reader. They don\u2019t know what feels good to you. [Pro-tip, a looot of people without clitorises aren\u2019t fully aware of just HOW sensitive a clitoris is. They can be a little rough with them. Tell them to chill!!!!]<br \/>7. <b>Your sex life is YOUR business<\/b>. Don\u2019t ever feel ashamed of how many or how few sexual partners\/experiences you\u2019re having. Do what you want, touch the people who want to touch you back, forget the rest.<br \/>8. <b>DON\u2019T FAKE YOUR ORGASMS!!<\/b> Don\u2019t fake your orgasms!! DON\u2019TFAKEYOURORGAMS!! If your partner isn\u2019t getting you there, let them know! Tell them how!!<br \/>9. <b>There is more to sex than orgasms<\/b>. Sex is a really cool way to establish intimacy and trust, to have a fun time, to relieve stress, to explore a person\u2019s body and bring them pleasure. Don\u2019t get me wrong, orgasms are really cool and good, but your sex life is going to be a lot better if it doesn\u2019t revolve around them.<br \/>10. <b>LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY<\/b>!! This goes for everyone, but ESPECIALLY if you are a person in possession of a vulva, you have been discouraged and even actively kept from vital knowledge about your anatomy! Do some google searches, buy a human sexuality textbook, masturbate.<br \/>11. <b>Virginity is a useless concept<\/b>. It\u2019s completely okay if your virginity is something important to you and I\u2019m not trying to belittle that idea. Just, for the record, in the grand scheme of things it\u2019s not a big deal. Literally nothing about you changes just because you bumped uglies with someone else.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a public service announcement from your friendly internet poet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>latenightcornerstore: 1.
