Rant about public perceptions of sex and the phenomenon of slut-shaming

Mar 16, 2011 02:07

Let's talk about sex.

I know most of you probably watch Glee, considering I met most of you through puckurt I can safely say that. So, most of you are probably thinking, why the hell didn't you talk about this after last weeks episode?

( the answer and a long, probably unnecessary rant about sex )

questions, rant, sex

Also this because I'm scared to edit this post with all it's craziness and fuck ups I had while trying to wrangle it into something presentable

Listen to this ^^!!! The friend that I was speaking about above, had sex once ONCE without a condom and look what happened to him! Do not let yourself get in danger for anything!

*It won't let me reply to your earlier comment*

I've never had sex either and I completely understand how you feel. People think that just because I've never actually had sex that I know nothing about it, which is just completely ridiculous! I know more about sex than most people do, my lack of 'field' experience has nothing to do with my ability to participate in the conversation!

It makes me SO happy to hear that people have their shit straightened out. It sucks that all the guys you've been personal with were suck dickheads but it's awesome that you haven't let it scare you off sex altogether. Despite being rather gay myself, I know one thing: guys can be freaking awesome.

Also, Kate Bornstein is a wise, wise woman

THANK YOU! I'm so glad that people actually read this/are reading this!

Here is the most important thing that I took away from Christine (who I mention in the post): almost all of the fears that people have about sex are wrong. She always has people write in about certain things (what do you think about virgins? does anybody actually care what a vagina looks like? who actually cares about pubic hair? etc.) and almost every single person says they don't give a shit. Which as a 19 year old virgin as well was VERY comforting.

And frankly no one has the right to judge if you don't judge them. So if someone is a jerk, just remember, most people don't care.

I love you, and I hope the anxiety stays away forever!
