Time for “The Talk”

Sex! Some have it, some don’t, and that’s their business. Sex looks different for just about everyone, and indeed, there are as many kinds of attraction and desire as there are people in the world—probably more, if we’re being honest. If you haven’t noticed (which is sorta impossible), society has a lot of thoughts about sex, who’s having it, and what they’re doing behind closed doors. We’re here to break it down and spill a little truth tea.

Your thoughts don’t make you “dirty.”
Here’s a big hurdle that lots of people have trouble getting over. Your thoughts do not equal your actions. You’re not a dirty or bad person if you have dirty thoughts. In most cases, those are just your body’s desires playing out in your mind! For the most part, you can’t help them, and you don’t have to feel bad about them. That said, it becomes a concern when your thoughts stop you from living your normal life, or lead you to do things that hurt other people. If that sounds familiar, consider seeing a therapist or counselor to talk about those thoughts.

Sex is normal and natural.
It’s just another part of life! Our bodies have all sorts of cravings—hunger, thirst, socialization. For many people, sex is another craving. Other people don’t ever crave sex, and that’s normal and natural, too. What’s important is that we don’t try and make sex something that it’s not—evil, unnatural, twisted, or anything to be ashamed of. It’s just bodies being bodies, after all. Of course, that doesn’t mean all sex is totally good and normal, which brings us to…

Consent is a must. In order for sex to be good, fun, natural, and something to celebrate, there has to be consent. “Consent” means that everyone involved has made it clear that they want to be doing the hanky panky. Consent is explicit, meaning that the person has agreed out loud or with unmistakable actions that they want to be doing this. Consent is also continuous, meaning that at any time someone can change their mind. And most importantly, consent is necessary, meaning in order for sex to even happen, consent has to be there. Someone who’s under the influence can’t consent, and people who are too young can’t consent. Fully aware, willing, and uncoerced adults can consent, and that’s that.
