anyone else wanna throw up in their mouth at the phrase 'popped your cherry'? 🤒
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
'losing' your virginity is a milestone we all discuss intently with our friends, who's done it, who hasn't, how it feels... but is it time to re-frame how we discuss having sex for the first time?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
virginity is often discussed as something 'pure', something to lose, and more often than not, leads to some pretty gross and graphic descriptions of breaking your hymen [which *news flash* doesn't equal losing your virginity]. this can lead to anxiety around having sex for the first time, and a feeling of losing a part of yourself when you choose to get down and dirty.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
it's time to get rid of the sexual stigma, and discuss sex more openly as a society. have open chats with our friends about nervous sexual encounters, those awkward first bangs, and get rid of the riddles and rhymes around having sex for the first time. it's ok for it to be a bit sh*t, it's ok to be nervous, and it's ok to have sex with as many people as you consent to before you find your sexual groove. it's totally your journey 🍒

and remember - consent, consent, consent huns ✨
